What is Wheat Allergy?
  • Wheat allergy is an allergic reaction to foods
    consisting of wheat. Allergic reactions could be
    caused by eating wheat and also, in some cases,
    by inhaling wheat flour.
  • Avoiding wheat is the main treatment for wheat
    allergy, but that is not always as easy as it
    sounds. Wheat is found in many foods, including
    some you may not suspect, like soy sauce, ice
    cream, and hot dogs. Medications might be
    necessary to manage allergic reactions if you
    accidentally eat wheat.
  • Wheat allergy sometimes is confused with celiac
    disease, but these conditions vary. A wheat
    allergy happens when your body produces
    antibodies to proteins found in wheat. In celiac
    disease, a certain protein in wheat gluten
    causes a different type of abnormal immune system
    reaction.
