Does wheat deserve the bad rap it gets?

Is wheat really that bad for you, especially if you only eat wheat products in moderation?

    No its fine unless you have an allergy to it like I do. I have Celiac Disease so its different for me but I totally miss a good slice of Pizza every now and then.

    Personally, yes.
    I started eating Paleo and cut out all grains and I feel sooooooo much better about myself

    I am not Celiac either, hence why I was wondering...

    Another celiac here. Being celiac, I HAVE to give up wheat. BUT, i then went Paleo and gave up all grains and you would not believe how much better my body feels. Its like the difference between taking a nice hot relaxing bath or dunking yourself in ice water. But, you know, everyone is different.

    I think everyone reacts to wheat differently. Some have a more severe reaction than others, some have none. While it would be wonderful if our bodies all acted the same, sadly, we're not! Cut out wheat for a few weeks and you'll find out what works for you.

    I agree with most of the posts here. If you don't have a reaction to it, don't worry about it. You can certainly test and see how you feel if you cut it out of your diet for a week or two.
