Can a food allergy result in skin rashes but not digestive discomfort?

Possible: Celiac disease, intolerance to gluten in wheat, is also associated with dermatitis herpetiformis and skin rash may be present in a person with mild form of intestinal disease.

Yes: Food allergy can present in several different organ systems. Digestive symptoms is only one. Skin rashes such as hives or eczema may be a presentation of food allergy without any other symptoms.
