Hi friends ~ I am a newbie with the dieting group. I desperately need to diet. I have taken predisone for quite some time for COPD and it has
'helped' me to gain a lot of weight. I have been thinking about the No
Wheat diet, but I need more info. Can any of you that may have used
this diet give me some insight. Would be greatly appreciated. Karen

Wheat free diets are usually based on gluten free diets. Gluten free diets are used to treat people who have celiac disease. Testing for that starts with a blood test. Approximately 1% of the population has a problem digesting gluten. Weight loss is often associated with this type of diet but so are certain nutrient deficiencies. Many people focus on the former and dismiss the later.
If you think you may have celiac disease I would recommend that you talk to your doctor.
I just wanted to say welcome and sorry I don't have any information on this subject.
Good information from Facing 50
My best to you in whatever you try.....
Give it a try.
You have to be diligent about reading labels though becasue a lot of things have wheat in them that you wouldn't expect.
