according to foodintol.com
"Fortunately, true Wheat
allergy is quite rare (less than ½ % of population).
These people must observe a strict Wheat-free diet to remain
healthy.
HOWEVER, most people who speak of wheat
allergy are really referring to Wheat intolerance caused by
Gluten - a very complex protein found in wheat and some
other grains. It affects one in seven people or 15%."
Thank goodness for google!
