There is actually no such thing as a "gluten allergy" although sometimes people refer to it like that. People with wheat allergy *may* be able to tolerate one of these forms of wheat, but it is not a guarantee and should be trialed in separately after a person is off of wheat for a time, which seems to be what the post is saying.<br /><br />People with a gluten intolerance or celiac disease can not tolerate these grains without causing damage to their bodies, but that is not actually an allergy, as in an IgE mediated allergy. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder. <br /><br />Here is also a link in which researchers found that kamut and another ancient wheat had similar amounts of gluten as modern wheat. <br /><br />The gluten in the ancient wheats acts different than the gluten in modern wheat, and I believe this may be where the notion that they have "less" gluten comes from.<br /><br />http://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/1/2/276/pdfAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2962104462007438395.post-83225869885720299852010-02-16T06:06:56.298-07:002010-02-16T06:06:56.298-07:00Thanks for researching, and publishing the differe...Thanks for researching, and publishing the differences!
