i have never been tested for spelt or wheat allergy but I do know that after eating a spelt tortilla I developed severe stuffiness. I don't usually get that with wheat only products like freshly cooked wheat pasta (organic). I think I am allergic or sensitive to spelt but not necessarily to wheat. I believe spelt isn't exactly wheat per se. So I would have to say that it's possible to test allergic to spelt but not to wheat. My nose does not lie.
Yes. Spelt can have wheat proteins, so if you are allergic to wheat you should avoid spelt as well.
not necessarily. spelt is easier to digest
My son is allergic to wheat and rice and i been wodering if Rye bread was the same thing as wheat?
No, some people are allergic to wheat.
You can be allergic to the wheat, glutens or yeast in the carbohydrates, but I don't think you can be allergic to a carb.
Well, if you are just allergic to wheat then it would be a wheat allergy. If you are allergic to gluten which does encompass wheat then you have a gluten allergy. You can also be wheat or gluten sensitive or you could have Celiac disease. Definately best to check with your doctor.
* Gluten to a part of wheat so if you are allergic to wheat you are also allergic to gluten. * On the contrary. I have had allergy testing done, and I am allergic to wheat, but NOT gluten. Gluten is a protein FROM wheat/rye/barley/oats etc. I would imagine if you are like myself, you are allergic to something different in the wheat to the gluten protein. * You can be allergic or have intolerance to both. I have.
Yes.
It can if you are allergic to glutens.
dairy, soy, and wheat.
If you are allergic/intollerant to the gluten in wheat you can drink wheat grass as it doesn't contain gluten. yes they can yes they can NO, NO, NO, they can't! Wheat grass is simply premature wheat! Whoever is allergic to wheat is allergic to whatever chemical composition wheat consists of-That composition would be the same or similar to premature wheat. Wheat is to Wheat Grass as Spinach is to Baby Spinach or as Tea is to White Tea Full Grown Plant is to Premature Plant
Yes. Spelt is wheat. All wheat contains gluten.
