11. Celiac Disease
Gluten is a protein found in wheat products. Those with celiac disease, an autoimmune condition in which the immune response is directed against your own body instead of against foreign substances such as viruses or bacteria, should avoid all products with any gluten, such as wheat bread.
According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma & Immunology (AAAAI), another condition called non-celiac gluten sensitivity could be even more common than celiac disease. However, the statistics on it are currently unknown.
12. Food Allergy
Wheat falls into the top eight food allergies among children. Parents should take precautions when introducing wheat into the diet. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) states that food allergies are a public health concern affecting an estimated 8% of children in the United States, which amounts to one in 13 children.
