History to Unlock Wheat Intolerance
By Joel Bow

Wheat was not always a part of human diet and it is a fact that wheat has been grown by people only for the last few thousand years. As a comparison, people were eating meat, fruits and vegetables for a much longer time period. Many researchers claim that this is the reason that so many people around the world suffer from something known as wheat intolerance.

It has been recently published that around 15% of all human have wheat intolerance, but experts say that the real number is a lot higher and that the patients just don’t know that they are patients and that they do suffer from wheat intolerance.

Wheat intolerance shows itself through a number of different symptoms which could also be blamed on many other allergies, diseases or other food intolerances. Some of the most common complaints include sleepiness, bloating, flatulence, fluid retention and swelling of limbs or joints. In extreme intolerance cases you may even suffer from extreme fatigue, depression and obesity and if left untreated it may even develop into diabetes or Celiac Disease. Once other diseases have resulted, you will have to be in medical care for the rest of your life. This makes it important to recognize symptoms and find the cause. A wheat intolerance is hard to diagnose because it shares symptoms with many other ailments, but once it has been diagnosed it is easy to relieve and even reverse symptoms. Although it may sound simple to just leave wheat out of your diet, as many people with a wheat allergy or wheat intolerance would know it is not.

Wheat is not just found in breads and anything else with flour, but also used as a sauce thickening agent, in soups, ice cream and even sausage. This makes it necessary to carefully read all food labels and that is quite a task in the beginning. This does, however, become easier with time and the simplest way to get your grocery shopping done quickly is to stick with basic foods like fresh fruits, vegetables, fish and meat and leave out the sauces.
