does anyone in this b. have wheat intolerance?

if you're concerned, you should probably get specifically tested. it runs in families, too, so you should consider if there's any history of it in yours.

One of the major solutions is Spelt, though some people who have problems with the glutens in wheat will also have problems with Spelt, for others, Spelt is the solution. There are a few very common brands that make spelt bread of varying qualities, I prefer Rudy's Organic. It just taste like a good whole wheat bread, and annoyingly kinda falls apart a bit, but does the job for sandwhiches, toast, eat with hummus etc. Also, rice crackers and other rice products. When I was really good w/ the non-wheat diet I ate a lot of rice dishes, a lot of asian food, and some of your noodle cravings can be taken care of with Thai and chinese dishes that use rice noodles instead of wheat/flour noodles. There's a brand called vitaspelt or something that make spelt pasta, some of it's a bit nutty, but one of their products, I swear I couldn't tell, spelt spheghetti with meat sauce, you really don't notice the difference. At least I didn't.

Wheat insurance would be useful for the Australian Wheat Board who are in a pickle over the UN/Iraqi corruption scandal. I would voluntarily avoid wheat for life if the Australian government goes down over this.

Health food and organic stores can be really good for wheat intolerant and lactose intolerant people. You'd be amazed at how much food you can still eat, but it can be quite expensive, which is the main downside.

Certainly the case if you actually have celiac disease, because the intestinal problems cause lactose intolerance also apparently.
