What is the Treatment for Wheat Intolerance?

There is only one treatment for Wheat Intolerance; an Elimination Diet.  An elimination diet entails eliminating the wheat from your diet for a period of several months.  Many people are able to heal their gut, which is often the cause of the food intolerance, and safely introduce small amounts of the offending food back into their diet.  Sometimes the food will cause lifelong symptoms and the food should be avoided forever.

Because even the smallest amount of wheat can cause symptoms for some, during the elimination diet, diligence must be exercised so as to not consume any wheat at all.  No bread.  No bagels.  No muffins.  No cookies.  No pasta.  None at all.  Otherwise, the results of your elimination diet will not be accurate.
