Wheat intolerance, what can I eat?

Living without wheat really isn’t a problem if you have foods to hand to replace the basics. Our western diet is traditionally laden with wheat based breads, pies, pasties, pizzas, cakes, biscuits and other baked goods, so you may well feel a little daunted at first. But there is a whole array of other grains and flours from which are made delectable wheat free breads, cakes, biscuits, pizzas and pies. Rye, oats, millet,, buckwheat, rice and even pea flour have been used by master bakers to bring you a great range for your wheat free kitchen cupboards. All flagged as wheat free on this shopping list.

Wheat free and gluten free

Gluten allergy is an allergy to the proteins found wheat, rye, barley and oats. This is called coeliac disease. If you have coeliac disease please see the gluten free section. Wheat allergy and intolerance are a little different to coeliac disease and symptoms are restricted to just wheat and are not brought on by eating oats, rye or barley. If that is you then this is where you can go shopping in confidence.

Wheat free selection and flagging

As many basic wholefoods, drinks, fruit and vegetables etc. are by nature wheat free we have not flagged all of these, but have restricted use of the ‘Wheat Free’ label to items which are traditionally made using wheat and so not available to those following the wheat free diet.

Remember that once you have selected Wheat Free to narrow your search you will no longer see any other products other than those marked. This may not be a problem, but just to remind you that we only mark as Wheat Free relevant products and so general groceries, tea, coffee, fruit juices etc. will not be labelled so please widen your search again to view these.
