wheat free- how strict

If you aren't celiac, why cut the wheat? when it isn't bad if you eat them in their whole form

I have a severe allergy to wheat. For me I can not eat anything that has even been processed on equipment. You will see many debates on going gluten (wheat free). I think that if you dont have a medical reason than dont give it up. You just need to eat it in moderation just like you do with everything else.

I think for those that don't have a diagnosed wheat allery/celiac, the benefit lies moreso in cutting out proccessed, refined carbs. For a lot of people (myself included) it has helped with the myraid of digestive issues they experience.

I have cut out gluten since February, and I feel much, much better. I can handle small doses of gluten (cross-contamination, a single bite) but I still feel consquenses. I still eat oats, and I was using soy sauce but I think I may need to eliminate that as well.

I am not diagnosed, but it makes me feel better, my skin is much better, my bloating has decreased, my headaches have subsided.

It's important to note, we still need carbs. I get my carbs from vegetables, fruit, yams, rice, etc.
