A member asked:
I have a barley allergy confirmed with a blood test. was tested for wheat, rye. is it common for barley allergy to "standalone" or similar substances?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Barley allergy: Yes barley allergy alone is actually very common. I usually see 6-7 people a year with this allergy. Usually it causes itching alone (which can lead to eczema), recurrent urticaria ( hives) and/or intestinal cramping with diarrhea. The hard part with avoidance is that many brands of flour are a wheat/ barley mix. So this calls for a lot of label reading and avoidance of things made with flour

Food allergy blood testing done. Results say Class III Abnormal - Wheat allergy. I also had a blood test - IgE Gluten- that came back as Class III Abnormal (High) and a test - Celiac (Ab tTG DGP TigA w/Rflx) that is negative. What does this all mean?
