i have coeliac but i can have wheat as long as the gluten has been removed, and it can work the other way, it is possible to be allergic to wheat but not have a gluten intolerance/allergy

also it is possible to have a gluten intolerance and not have coeliac

Very interesting- I've never heard of gluten-free wheat products. I'll do some looking around. In the meanwhile, can you suggest a wheat product that you like where the gluten has been removed? I'd like to try it. Thanks!

In Europe they have wheat starch which supposedly contains only trace amounts of gluten and is declared safe for celiac by them. But a lot of people with celiac disease react to it anyway, and I don't consider it safe at all. I personally wouldn't eat it.

First of all, I'm not advocating use of this product. Pacific Natural Foods has this statement on their website about a beef flavored gravy that is listed as gluten-free but not as wheat-free: "This product is Gluten Free (By definition this means less than 10 ppm gluten. The wheat fiber ingredient has no protein and is supplier verified.)"

i myself cant tolerate said wheat startch, but on persription we can get weat products that contain no gluten at all.. i think juvela is probably the best for that.. if you google it then you can become a member

A Wheat allergy is different from Celiac. You see an allergy is IgE mediated where Celiac is not. I was told I have both but I just had a recent blood test done and I showed not allergic to it but I still have celiac.

      Celiac Maybe a Possibility?

      Thank you for the warning. I get blood tests twice a year to check where I stand with the vitamins I regularly take, so I appreciate the extra reminder. I know some vitamins don’t build up but now I will watch the B6 for sure.

      High dosage of B12 gave me life.

      I think you would do well to take a high potency B-complex such that you get more balanced dosage across the spectrum of B vitamins. They work in concert.

      Around 5 years ago I visited Tokyo, and luckily had my sister in law with me who is from there, otherwise it would have been more difficult. The bottom line is that there are tons of naturally gluten-free food options there, but you need to be able to communicate your needs to restaurant staff. Here is a gluten-free restaurant card for American visitors in Tokyo. It includes a request for a gluten-free meal and mentions common gluten-containing ingredients to avoid, like soy sauce and miso. English: Thank you. Japanese:   You can also download the Google Translate app, and besides being able to help you speak with people there about this, it has a camera app that translates Japanese text to English in your camera, so you can use it when shopping in a supermarket.

      Be careful about how much B6 you take, as it can cause issues if you take too much of it over time.
