I know this topic has been covered before and that I have even probably posted something on it but I have finally decided to take the plunge and go completely wheat/gluten free. I have researched on the Internet and spoken to people who have wheat allergies.
There is a whole list of things that can be substituted for wheat flour such as brown rice four, tapioca, buckwheat... My question is this can I still use spelt flour and oats which are wheat free but not gluten free? Or should I avoid both for at least the next 3 months?
Can yeast also be a problem? As most of the bread recipes I have seen have quite a large quantity of yeast? Or should I try eliminating yeast first and then wheat/gluten.
I love bread (but limit myself to 1 pitta or 2 slices of bread per day). I also love cakes and biscuits (but I make my own and add fruit, veg or/and nuts and 90% of the time use oil).
My p has been under control since I started my elimination diet in April/May/June (started eliminating different foods each month). Went out a few times in the past 2/3 and I believe I ate a culprit food twice. I haven't really flared by p patches on my arms and legs and redder. The patches on my lower arm have also been itchy over the last 2 weeks which I have not had for months. The p on my body has remained the same in size and colour.
I don't eat dairy, red meat, any type of spice, nightshades (although I don't think that potato's is a problem as I reintroduced it a couple of weeks ago and was find but have stopped eating now to be sure), sweets, chocolate. I also avoid most processed food.
