RE: intolerance question

[Guest guest]

It's actually a very good question. And yes, it is possible to react to some

other protein in wheat other than gluten. Gluten is only one allergenic aspect

of wheat.

 

sorry if this is a weird/silly question, but is it possible to be

wheat intolerant but not gluten intolerant? or ar they one in the same?

I must admit, now that you've brought this up, that oats always have a bad

effect on me which makes me wonder whether it's the gluten I'm intolerant to and

not the wheat. Difficult to isolate currently as bread has the same reaction,

but once I get my oven fixed I'm going to chance to some gluten-free wheat bread

mix and see what that does to me!

So yes, I'm pretty sure it's possible!

I know of people who are wheat allergic but who can tolerate other gluten

grains, but I am not sure that one can been intolerant of wheat protein and not

of gluten. IT may be that your intolerance is not yet fully blown, and that

small amounts like you find in barley are not as reactive in your system, but in

the end, when it comes to the human body I have found that nearly anything is

possible.

 

Sorry not to be more definitive.

except for cross contamination issues, oats do not have gluten. They have a

protein similar to gluten and to which many who are gluten intolerant are also

responsive - but it is not the same thing. In the end that won't matter, of

course, since if it makes you feel bad, it really doesn't matter which part of

it does.

Most oats sold in the US are contaminated with wheat. From the field to the

combine to the truck to the mill to the packaging plant, wheat, rye, and oats

get cross-contaminated. If you've ever looked at oat groats or wheat and

ryeberries, you'd see how hard it would be to sort.

Even if you found a pure source (so far, not identified outside a labratory

setting), 10 to 60 percent of those with CD also had mucosal changes and

antibody production to avenin, the protein in oats.
