Wheat-dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis describes a condition where someone has an anaphylaxis after eating wheat, then experiencing physical exercise.<\/p>\n

This is a specific case of the rare condition, called exercise-induced anaphylaxis, where exercise triggers anaphylaxis.\u00a0 Food induced anaphylaxis is rarer still.\u00a0 The gluten in wheat is a potent allergen, and \u03c9-gliadins, a type of gliadin, seem to be the culprits in triggering this gluten allergy symptom.<\/p>\n

Symptoms may start with flushing, wheezing, hives, nausea, diarrhea and cramping, and progress to more serious symptoms.<\/p>\n

Usually, high exertion such as jogging trigger symptoms, but for some people walking or other low-level exercise may be enough.<\/p>\n

The best way to reduce symptoms is to immediately reduce physical exertion.<\/p>\n

Studies show that \u03c9-5 gliadin is particularly good at passing through the gut-blood barrier.\u00a0 It enters the blood stream undigested, and causes a range of health problems.\u00a0 Different types of allergies can result, including wheat-dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis.<\/p>\n

Allergy tests, unreliable at the best of times, seem particularly poor at revealing a gluten allergy because gluten is made up of several proteins, and unless these proteins are separated out, they may not indicate on an allergy test.\u00a0 This makes a rare condition like WD exercise induced anaphylaxis particularly difficult to diagnose.<\/p>\n

Ketotifen, an antihistamine, may prevent symptoms if taken before eating wheat.\u00a0 I feel that this may simply mask symptoms and possibly allow other health problems to grow and would prefer to see more research on this approach, since avoiding wheat seems like a safer approach.\u00a0 Since avoiding wheat is not always possible, it is good to have additional methods for fighting symptoms.\u00a0 Work with a doctor if you are thinking of trying this.<\/p>\n

While gluten allergies are relatively common, based on anecdotal evidence, wheat-dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis is rare but distressing and even life-threatening to those who experience it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
