Can wheat bloat you

[JB1987]

I joined talkhealht to talk to people in the weight forum but saw this forum going on. When I eat wheat or past I feel really bloated. Is this normal or could I have an allergy to wheat? Just wondering if I were to leave it out of my diet whether it would make me feel less bloated and help with weight loss? thank you. JB

some people report this with wheat but at worse this may be an intolerance or possibly coeliac disease (you can ask your doctor for a test for this). For wheat intoelrance, the only way to find out is to try cutting it out for a few weeks to see if things improve then reintroduce and see if your bloating returns.
