A member asked:
Docs, could a person both have gluten intolerance and wheat allergy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Gluten is a protein that can be found in several different grains. Wheat allergy would suggest a specific reaction to at least one of many wheat specific proteins.While gluten is a protein present in wheat, it is not the only one.
