Comparing wheat flour and commercial wheat extract skin prick testing in Wheat Dependent Exercise Induced Anaphylaxis
نویسندگان
چکیده
Background Wheat Dependent Exercise Induced Anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is a form of Food Dependent Exercise Induced Anaphylaxis. WDEIA occurs when there is an allergic reaction following the ingestion of wheat, coupled with exercise [1]. The suspected allergen that is responsible for WDEIA is omega5gliadin [2]. We report a series of adult clinical cases of WDEIA recorded between 2006-2009 at Health Sciences Centre (Winnipeg). The purpose of this study was to compare the results of Skin Prick Test (SPT) to commercial wheat extract and wheat flour in patients with WDEIA.

Resolution of wheat-dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis-case report
Case report A 62 year old male was assessed in 2006 with a 3-4 year history of recurrent acute urticaria. A month prior to consultation he developed anaphylaxis. No consistent trigger was identified, therefore a covariable with food, such as exercise, was suspected. Skin prick testing (SPT) to foods ingested within 4 hours of anaphylaxis was positive to wheat flour and negative to wheat extract...

متن کاملFood-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis due to wheat in a young woman.
Food Dependent Exercise-Induced Allergy is a rare condition. However, the occurrence of anaphylaxis is increasing especially in young people. The diagnosis of anaphylaxis is based on clinical criteria and can be supported by laboratory tests such as serum tryptase and positive skin test results for specific IgE to potential triggering allergens. Anaphylaxis prevention needs strict avoidance of ...
متن کاملIdentification of wheat sensitization using an in-house wheat extract in Coca-10% alcohol solution in children with wheat anaphylaxis.
BACKGROUND Identification of wheat sensitization by a skin prick test (SPT) is essential for children with wheat-induced anaphylaxis, since oral food challenge can cause serious adverse effects. Wheat allergens are both water/salt and alcohol soluble. The preparation of wheat extract for SPT containing both water/salt and alcohol soluble allergen is needed. OBJECTIVE To determine if a wheat e...
متن کاملManaging exercise food induced anaphylaxis
Food dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) is an IgE mediated adverse reaction to specific foods, where symptoms only appear in combination with physical activity. In absence of exercise, subjects with FDEIA tolerate the offending food. FDEIA can, as the nomenclature indicates, be life threatening, but most common symptoms are urticaria, flushing, pruritus and angioedema. The mechanism...
