January 26, 2011 · Filed Under Hydrolyzed Wheat · 7 Comments 

Researchers are attempting to modify grains with the hope that it will eliminate immune reactions to the gluten within it. The belief is that a new modified product, such as hydrolyzed wheat, might give people who are diagnosed with a gluten intolerance, another option for food.
