I've been alergic to wheat for many years now, luckily i'm only alergic to wheat and not gluten (celiac).  This manly means i can still eat oats, unfortunaly most foods with gluten in have wheat gluten in them, so i can't eat them.  I don't see my alergy as a bad thing any more as wheat isn't perticualy good for you and the food i supliment it with are e.g. rise, quinoa, lantles ect.

There are many foods that contain wheat that you wouldn't expect to, it's easy to get court out by foods you would never think had wheat in, but are actualy it's one of the main ingrediant, for example oat cakes (the pankake type) are usualy around 50% wheat.  Oak cake biscuits on the othre hand are usual 100% oats, and very good for you.

Water is the body's most basic nutritional need. It is required for almost every function: without it you will die in just a few days. It is important not to ignore thirst: some people try to lose weightby reducing fluid intake, but this is dangerous. As a general guide you should drink eight glasses of water daily. The body also gets water from food; milk, eggs, meat, vegetables and fruit all have a high water content.

Protein is produced from amino acids. It is essential for the growth and maintenance of body tissue, blood cells, hormones and enzymes. Protein is found in meat, poultry, fish, milk, cheese and eggs, vegetables such as green beans and tomatoes, grains, seeds and nuts. Ten to 15 percent of your daily calorie intake should be from protein.

Vitamins are organic compounds, essential for bodily growth, function, repair and maintenance. Vitamins are categorised into two groups, water soluble and fat soluble. Water soluble vitamins, including the B complex group and vitamin C, need to be replenished daily as they are not stored in the body's tissues. Fat soluble sitamins, including A, D, E and K, are stored by the body for long periods of time, and so exessive intake may be halmful. A balance diet with plenty of fresh fruit, vegetables and cereals should provide all the vitamins that the body needs.
