I have never heard of vegans not eating wheat - seems like one of the only things they will eat.

Some 'health ' food types don't eat wheat because of the glutenm which is a commmon allergen. Also, wheat products often contaon yeast, which some people avoid.

I find that wheat is hard for me to digest and makes me feel bloated and uncomfortable, so i don't eat much of it, but I am no vegan!:)
