A member asked:
I currently have a wheat allergy. i was tested for celiac, and it was inconclusive. is there an over the counter antihistamine i could try?

Hard to say: Wheat is composed of a complex group of proteins and many have selective responses to various components.If you have a simple IgG reaction, it may be of minor importance.If you have TTG-IgA to components of wheat like the gliadin or gluten, your past avoidance of wheat may have made testing unreliable.Continues intake could aggravate issues that antihistamines would not prevent.
