Dish readers to the rescue:

One of probably scads of emails you'll get on this: I stumbled onto the wheat issue about 10 years ago, and cutting it out of my diet has made a world of difference.  But you won't have to give up pasta (there are many non-wheat varieties available, the worst, probably, being spelt ... ) or pizza or cookies (a brand called With Out Wheat or WOW makes a fabulous ginger/molasses cookie!)

No wheat also ends up meaning none of the collateral fat / calories from the things you dress the wheat with - butter on your bread, etc.  So you may find yourself slimming down (I dropped 25 pounds the first year, tho I've taken some back on as I discover the wheat substitutes.)  And, yeah, kiss those itchy patches goodbye. Congrats on the discovery!

Two words: Quinoa pasta. Another writes:

Dude, I sympathize.
