More conclusive testing/evidence is necessary before a general recommendation for wheat avoidance among IBS'ers is recommended. There are too many variables in the study. I do believe, though, that if wheat causes a problem for the individual, even without test results showing allergies/sensitivities, it should be avoided. Many books re: IBS do recommend avoiding wheat. The best course of action if wheat is a trigger is to consult with your MD, and/or seek testing, and/or do an exclusion diet for 6 weeks or more to see if there is an improvement/alteration in symptomology. For me, personally, wheat is an anti-nutrient as I am wheat allergic.
