Wheat would be a hard one to be allergic to. At least for a bread and pasta lover. I have a lot of foods I'm "sensitive" to, that is, they give me headaches. That's not quite the same thing as an allergy, I guess. Almost all of those foods contain the chemical tyramine. It took me years to get a comprehensive list of tyramine foods. Each doctor said the same thing, not to eat "foods like aged cheese, chocolate, wine."

Like? How can you know that green beans are "like" chocolate?

A couple gave me lists, but the lists weren't comprehensive. I learned from a pharmocological chemist on SI that green beans are a headache food for the tyramine-sensitive, for example. I learned about yeast and yoghurt cultures from a dentist who treated people for another kind of headache.
