|
Wheat Free Products: |
Read the labels. There are many products manufactured that are wheat free. But be careful. Just because a product says corn flakes, that doesn't mean that no wheat is used in the manufacture. Check the ingredients list to make sure it is wheat free. Many bakeries, specialty shops, health food stores and delicatessens carry wheat-free baked goods. Spelt and kamut are alternate grains but, because they are in the wheat family, may present a problem for those with a wheat allergy.
