some persons have wheat problems but ok with gluten specifically
Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic
NO, this does not mean that you need to avoid gluten as well.
Gluten is present in all wheat products, it is one of the components of wheat. There are persons who have an allergy to wheat products but not to the gluten specifically.
It is possible that it is not the gluten component that is causing your allergic reaction but one of the other wheat components, though having said that it is also possible that you may have issues with gluten as well.
A diet free of wheat is normally advised for persons like yourself who have an allergy to wheat.
Gluten free diets are normally suggested for persons with a history of irritable bowel syndrome, gluten intolerance, celiac disease etc
If you want you can undergo testing for celiac disease to see if you have issues with gluten as well.
I hope this helps, feel free to ask any other questions
