A member asked:

I develop skin rashes when i eat wheat related food(probably gluten).i took an allergy test and i got a positive result of wheat allergy.is it possible to have both wheat allergy and celiac disease?can celiac also cause positive wheat allergy result?

Celiac disease involves the production of antibodies to gluten that also attack body tissues, often the gut. Allergy involves the triggering of histamines that often cause rashes or other symptoms. A person can have both an allergy to wheat & antibody triggering from gluten intake. You define celiac by having the antibody tests & if positive, an intestinal biopsy.
