Wheat also has high levels of gluten, which is a protein found naturally in wheat and other grains.
Gluten is a sticky glue-like substance, and in our digestive tracts this substance can interfere with the digestion and absorption of nutrients.
Also because gluten is so sticky and difficult to digest, it can encourage the growth of unfriendly bacteria's such as Candida albicans. A lot of people with an intolerance to wheat and gluten can benefit from an anti candida diet that cuts out sugar and yeast as well as wheat and gluten.
