Can you have a wheat allergy and not have Celiac disease?

Is anyone allergic to wheat?

  • It sucks, doesn't it? But at least we can eat cheetos!! And I've been seeing a lot of this answer from someone: There IS a difference between celiac disease and wheat allergy. I can eat oats, barley, rye (as long as they're not mixed with anything) or pretty much anything I want as long as I avoid wheat and wheat products and read food labels carefully. I don't have celiac!

  • Answer:

    i have celiacs, and a dairy allergy =[. it sucks. so no cheetos for me (although i never liked them). I can't eat anything i swear! haha, it's hard to eat out too. makes me depressed when ppl call me anorexic too =[. EDIT: people w/ dairy allergy can eat LESS than those w/ lactose intolerance, idk that much about it, just that some stuff is lactose but not dairy free. EDIT #2: i know what you mean about fillers! most kosher stuff doesn't have fillers though =]

If I eat wheat, bread, pastas I tend to get bloated and feel awful. Perhaps you could buy things from the organic isle the pastas and breads are very different but I feel better after eating them they are wheat and gluten free. Give it a go and see how you feel!

I have a friend who is :( It sucks when you offer her something to eat that you don't realize has wheat in it and she has to reject it and explain why all over again. I feel bad for her, but she's really nice and smart. I don't know the specifics of what she can or can't have, but definitely not wheat. She's also lactose intolerant...

Yes there is a difference. I have both but that is neither here nor there. I just wanted to point out about your sausages that I recently discovered that a few brands of breakfast sausage that are in the freezer section of the grocery store do not have wheat fillers whereas the same company's sausage in the meat section does.
