Why don't some vegetarians eat wheat?!
I've been vegetarian for about two years now!. Anyway, I was at work the other day and I overheard a woman tell her son that they weren't going to eat a certain type of food because it had wheat in it!. The son, who was about 6 replied, "But wheat isn't an animal mama!."
This incident made me realize that I myself at 20 years old don't understand why some vegetarians don't eat products with wheat in them!.
Food allergies aside, is there an ethical reason that people don't eat wheat!?Www@FoodAQ@Com

Answers:
Gluten(Wheat, Rye, Barley etc!.) is highly Irritating to the digestive system so even when a person is not allergic they have negative reactions!.
Grains are much harder to digest than many people realize Wheat being at the top of the list!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

it has nothing to do with being a vegetarian!.
if someone doesn't eat wheat it's almost always because they have celiac disease!. my best friend has celiac disease and suffers from violent vomiting, stomach cramps, etc!. that place her in the hospital a few times a year!.
celiac disease is a serious problem and it is a growing one!.
if you ever hear someone talk about "gluten intolerance" it's likely celiac disease!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

A lot of people are allergic to wheat!.
"Free From" food often is free of a lot of things so that they don't have to make loads of different kinds for each allergy or diet, so you often find products that are free from eggs, dairy, nuts and gluten as ell as wheat!.Www@FoodAQ@Com

Because they have convinced themselves that they have a gluten intolerence!. Www@FoodAQ@Com
It would be because they are allergic, not because they are vegetarians!.Www@FoodAQ@Com
