I had several tests with immunology specialists none of the prick tests found anything so had to have the blood tests which discovered the wheat allergy. I have been prescribed with epi pens and loretadine antihistamines to take every day.
I have always eaten wheat and always played rugby, done running and been to the gym. My allergy started at the age of 30 after I had and operation where i had been put under anaesthetic so it was like my immune system had restarted itself. Anyone experienced this. Will it go away again as it is making my life hell.

The test which was done to find out my allergy type is called:
“ImmunoCAP Specific IgE 0-100”
My printout of the result states:
Testcode: “f416” (Omega-5 gliadin)
Testname: “rTri a 19”
The Company which conducted the test is:
Phadia GmbH, Freiburg (Germany)
I hope this helps already – let me know if not.

Sounds very distressing. I’m with you on food allergies vs. airborne, good luck!

Thank you all for your replies. Since this happened, I have been freaking out. He has been on Benedryl and Zyrtec and has a rescue inhaler. He doesn’t have an epipen yet, but he is going to go to an allergy/immunologist and I’ll get a script from them. I took wheat out of his diet Fri. evening after I read this. I hope this is a food dependent allergy because if it is outdoor/oak or grass then I don’t know what we will do.

And Benedryl. Epipens are only half of what you need to manage an allergic reaction

Does your son have an epipen? If not, I highly suggest asking his pediatrician for one immediately, especially if he’s experiencing such severe symptoms. Anaphylaxis is no joke – it’s terrifying and life threatening within minutes. I know – it’s happened to me. I passed out, and was going into shock by the time the paramedics arrived. It took two doses to stop mine. I’m not trying to scare you but he needs to carry an epipen.

A skin prick test for wheat confirmed it for me, although eating wheat without exercise afterward doesn’t result in any issues. You might be interested to know the first time I recall having any issues with this type of thing was in middle school. Perhaps the onset of puberty triggered it.

As far as I know, the only truly reliable test is to do just what you suggest: cut out wheat for a few weeks and see if there is an improvement. You may even want to stick with a wheat-free or better yet gluten-free diet for up to two months before deciding. Read through the other comments on the Wheat, Gluten and Asthma thread. While not the same thing you may get insight from that thread as it is related.

I just stumbled across this site after searching for days for help with my son. so far the treatments given by his doctor have only helped inconsistently, pretty much just treating him as an allergy asthmatic. He started with what looked like typical outdoor allergies 1 year ago. Stuffy nose, globs of mucus, hives and facial angioedema with exercise/playing outside(he is 10 and very athletic, plays competitive soccer). Then he started wheezing and now he is getting angioedema in his throat and possibly his stomach because he complains of cramps. He is now experiencing anaphylaxis with exercise almost weekly and passed out at school last week. We were blaming oak trees despite negative blood test and his blood test were only done on outdoor allergens because his symptoms are almost exclusively outdoors. I’m going to cut wheat out of his diet immediately, worth a try anyway- got nothing to lose.

I have to avoid Omega 5 gliadin if I want to do any exercise.
So, I just eat rye bread, for example, before the excercise and nothing happens. I have never had this anaphylactic shock again.
Now, I am trying to find answers for two sorts of questions:
1.) Do other types of Wheat (kamuth, spelt, “Einkorn” wheat, …) or include Omega 5 gliadin? Where can I find out the protein components (-> gliadin) of the various plants?
2.) How does it work that this kind of allergy gets worse and if possible how can I avoid this?
