Wheat Free Diet Sheet

Wheat can sometimes be very mucous forming and can cause problems with breathing, sinuses and phlegm.  For some people it can also cause bowel toxicity and constipation, skin digetion and/or weight problems, as well as small intestine aggravation for coeliac sufferers. If you have a wheat intolerance it is important to check food labels as many foods contain wheat or wheat products.  Health Food shops have a good range of wheat free products.

It is very important to fill in the gaps in your diet.  Increasing the quantity of vegetable starches is advisable.  These vegetable carbohydrates (starches) include pototoes (white and sweet), yams and more tropical alternatives like taro and breadfruit. Other foods to balance your diet are dried beans like pinto, navy, chickpea, lentils and peas.

Wheat based alcoholic drinks, Whisky, most gins, vodka, lager,beer - Check labels very carefully.
