A member asked:
Could wheat allergy be a reason of short height?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Allergy- no: Celiac which is an autoimmune disease to wheat could cause short height due to poor absorption of foods. A true allergy to wheat that is cause by Immunoglobulin E and mast cells, should not affect ones height because the absorption of nutrients should be normal
