[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Other than pasta, pizza, bread, and baked goods what is wheat is in? It seems less restrictive to give up wheat than restrict all carbs..unless you love Italian food. Sugar, dairy, other grains like regular rice, fruit, vegetables aren't wheat.

Am I missing something? Its seems odd that people can't think if something to eat after giving up wheat and others are suggesting Quinoa? [/quote]

It depends how closely you need to watch for wheat / gluten.  My kids is a celiac, so we need to read labels on everything, and you would be surprised where you find gluten / wheat - standard oats are generally at high risk for cross-contamination, sometimes french fries are coated, regular soy sauce has gluten, maltodextrin is generally OK in this country because it's usually made from corn here but you can't be sure, etc.

I also think it's a question of how pervasive wheat is in your diet - I know personally it is/was extensive for me - cereal, bread, pizza crust, pasta, couscous, etc.  Not always the whole meal, but a significant component, and suddenly removing it from the family diet did leave a big hole that we needed a little bit of time to figure out how to fill.[/quote]
