How can I cope with not eating wheat

Dear tiny_tinkerbell, I haven’t been able to eat it for at least 15 years now. I developed a sensitivity to it and since then have leaned to deal with it. Today, there are many products that do not contain wheat and are made especially for people like us and those with crones. You must read labels all the time and reread them each time you buy them. The companies will add wheat to their products that did not contain them before. Different size of a product may contain wheat as well. You are right that there are many of our favourite things with wheat in them but you can make your favourites at home. Even our local pizza place has started selling rice crust pizzas. Search out all your health stores and even the bigger super markets sell wheat free and rice products. Some believe it or not are better then the ones that contain wheat. Right now I am enjoying a wheat free chocolate chip cookie bought at one of our major grocery store. There is plenty you can eat and with a little discipline you will learn quickly. Good luck with this and do your homework when it comes to this…search the web, talk to store managers, and learn to cook your own foods. Sue…good luck
