In reply to the discussion: Modern wheat a "perfect, chronic poison," doctor says [View all]Warpy
(114,616 posts)as far as pain goes, the pain was worse when I was eating wheat.
Now the plural of "anecdote" is not "data," although with so many people reporting the same relief of symptoms when they stopped eating wheat, even when they, like me, kept eating other grains, something worth studying might be going on.
I was trying to chase down a persistent rash and wheat was far down on the list of things to try avoiding because true wheat allergy is so rare. However, there it was.
This does need study, a lot of study. Unfortunately, the wheat kings in the upper midwest will be working full time to make sure funding is largely blocked.
It's too bad because something has been making a lot of people feel chronically unwell and those people report improvement when they eliminate wheat from their diets. Whether it's gluten, gliadin, or something used on the wheat, there is likely something there.
