- Wheat intolerance and gluten intolerance
are not the same
- Rye, barley, wheat, spelt, kamut,
and oats are all gluten grains so should be avoided in gluten
intolerance.
- Spelt and kamut are ancient forms
of wheat which some wheat sensitive people may tolerate
- Ground nuts may improve texture,
flavour, and protein content of some recipes
