Wheat allergy is an allergy to wheat which typically presents itself as a food allergy, but can also be a contact allergy resulting from occupational exposure. Like all allergies, wheat allergy involves immunoglobulin E and mast cell response. Typically the allergy is limited to the seed storage proteins of wheat. Some reactions are restricted to wheat proteins, while others can react across many varieties of seeds and other plant tissues. Wheat allergy is rare. Prevalence in adults was found to be 0.21% in a 2012 study in Japan.[1]

Wheat allergy may be a misnomer since there are many allergenic components in wheat, for example serine protease inhibitors, glutelins and prolamins and different responses are often attributed to different proteins. Twenty-seven potential wheat allergens have been successfully identified.[2] The most severe response is exercise/aspirin induced anaphylaxis attributed to one omega gliadin that is a relative of the protein that causes celiac disease.[3] Other more common symptoms include nausea, urticaria, and atopy.[4]

Gluten sensitivity is not usually classified as a wheat allergy. Management of wheat allergy consists of complete withdrawal of any food containing wheat and other gluten-containing cereals (gluten-free diet).

My diet was extremely heavy on bread and wheat and it always made me feel bloated sick and lightheaded I had no clue what it was until one day I skipped breakfast and lunch and felt much better since then I haven't eaten bread in nearly a year and I feel so much better faster more energy and significant weight loss(20+kg) I simply just switched over to rice instead but I now am extremely cautious reading labels

I suffered terribly for 25 years. .. Then I stopped eating wheat.
The improvement in my health was clear after only 2 weeks.
Normal BMs. (bowel movements); no swollen ankles; no lung congestion; no tooth infections.
Try it. .. No Doctor will help you. .. You MUST try it for yourself. ..

Histamine intolerant is the worst!!
Ive tried everything from gluten free to only eating potatoes..
Trying to narrow a histamine issue is like trying to win the lottery or find a needle in a haystack..
Or maybe im a hypochondriac😀
I cant even go out in the sun without getting hives.

"Avoiding wheat is the primary treatment for wheat allergy" Well actually if you got gluten intolerance, you have to live with it for the rest of your life, there is no proper cure for this allergy.
