A member asked:
I think i'm allergic to wheat, and not specifically gluten. is this common?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
See Allergist: An IgE-mediated allergic reaction to wheat is very common, especially in children (less common to develop as an adult). Celiac disease (gluten allergy) is a completely unrelated condition and not related to true wheat allergy which leads to hives, itching, swelling, wheeze, etc upon exposure. See an Allergist in order to clarify your reactions and determine if you have a true allergy or not.
