What do I need to know about caring for someone with wheat allergies?

If you cook for someone with wheat allergies-carefully read food labels and be vigilant when preparing food-making sure that no wheat products touch the cooking surface or utensils. Buy wheat-free foods and follow wheat-free recipes. Use alternative grains like rice-oats-and corn.

Know what to do in case of an emergency. If your child has wheat allergies-be sure their care providers are aware of the allergy and know how to respond.
