Intolerant to wheat but not gluten?
Hi all, I’m relatively newly diagnosed with MCAS (about three month ago) and over the last 8 weeks I did an elimination diet and began adding foods back in to see what triggers my symptoms.
The first thing I tried was plain white wheat sourdough and I had a very strong reaction. I assumed this meant o had an issue either with wheat or gluten. I’ve since tried spelt and regular oats and I did not react the same way. Does that make sense that I would have an issue with the wheat but not gluten?
Worth noting that even during the elimination phase of the diet, I’ve been having gastric symptoms (heartburn, stomach pain, constipation). This has not improved or gotten worse since adding foods back in, and I’m unsure if these symptoms are the result of something else or because there’s some trigger I’m consuming that I didn’t eliminate.
