Don't think so, Colin. I don't suffer form anything resembling what I have read. The episode with the wheat was after I had started a lc woe and had eliminated all grains from my diet. I have never been a cereal eater and I thought I would try some cereal one morn(because I was allowed on that plan) and it gave me some (lots) gas with the token owie gas cramps. I believe it is because the human body (mine anyway) was not designed to digest this stuff. My system was moving along just fine, feeding it the proper foods, and then I assulted it with a big bowl of wheat. I have had NO discomfort with lc and I think "wheat intolerance" is more of what I have. Thanks for your concern!!
