Does whole wheat flour cause gas in some people?!


Question: Yes, some people have a gluten intolerance, and others are simply allergic to wheat. An allergy or intolerance does not mean that they all have severe reactions. Some have headaches, some have gas, some simply do not feel their best.

These things can be tested for. If you look on the internet for gluten intolerance or wheat allergy, you will find more information, but you yourself can try to avoid all wheat and wheat products for a week or so and see how you feel.

Whole wheat is an even more interesting category, in that there is something in whole wheat itself that inhibits nutrition being absorbed by the intestines. Nutritionists say that the body is able to overcome this with time. if you have just begun to eat whole wheat, you may want to persevere a bit longer.
