I just bought Alli and registered today.  My meal plans include whole wheat breads and cereals.  I cannot eat whole wheat because I am allergic to it. - Foods made with wheat flour etc. are okay, but the whole grain products like wheat thins triscuits, total, special k, whole wheat breads etc. are off limits for me. I break out in hives.  It's been this way since I was 9. 

My question is - What can I substitute for the whole grain in my diet?

 We have many people who are following the alli menus and have allergies to whole wheat, gluten, etc.  Feel free to read their post by doing a search in this message board.  You can do a couple of things:

• You can create your own menus; just make sure you track your food intake with the nutrition logs so you can get your nutrient analysis and make sure you are reaching your fiber intake. 
• You can find products that are whole wheat free but have other whole grains such as oats, barley, rice, corn, etc.  They contain pretty much the same nutrients (fiber, B vitamins, iron, folic acid, etc.) as whole wheat. Hopefully you are not allergic to these whole grains.
• You can used "enriched grains", which have the same nutrients as whole grains but do not used wheat or whole grains.  Hope this helps,

Let me know if you have any further questions,
