IgE-mediated wheat allergy is a gluten-related disorder. Wheat is one of the five most common food allergens in children. However, the natural history of IgE-mediated wheat allergy has seldom been described in the research literature. This study presents the current state of knowledge about the IgE-mediated wheat allergy in children.

Background Wheat is one of the six most common foods causing allergy in children. Tests used in clinical practice to diagnose wheat allergy have limited value in predicting allergic reactions when eating wheat. A poor correlation between the outcome of oral wheat-challenges and the levels of IgE-antibodies (IgE-ab) to wheat has been observed. The wheat allergen ω-5 gliadin has been found to fac...

The oral desensitization using hypoallergenic wheat was performed for twenty children with a history of wheat allergy. The enrolled subjects were divided into three groups: children with severe wheat allergy, group S; children with mild wheat allergy, group M; children receiving no desensitization, group C. The oral desensitization was performed with increasing doses starting at 25 mg (group S)...

Background Wheat protein is responsible for various kinds of allergic disease. Wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is one of the most important clinical phenotypes of adult wheat allergy. Relatively homogenous clinical and immunological presentations of this phenotype have already been described. More recently, some studies have shown that sensitization to hydrolyzed wheat prot...

UNLABELLED Few studies concerning the importance of wheat allergy affecting the course ofatopic eczema in adolescents and adult patients exist. AIM The evaluation if wheat allergy can deteriorate the course of atopic eczema. Follow-up of patients with confirmed food allergy to wheat. METHOD Altogether 179 persons suffering from atopic eczema were included in the study: 51 men and 128 women ...

BACKGROUND Wheat allergy has been suggested to represent an important allergic disease. This study collates clinical and laboratory aspects in patients with wheat allergy in Al-Kharj city, Saudi Arabia. METHODS Total and specific IgE were measured in 15 suspected cases of wheat allergy. Protein allergenicity was assessed with Western blotting. RESULTS Significant elevation of total and spec...

BACKGROUND Allergy to wheat can present clinically in different forms: Sensitization to ingested wheat via the gastrointestinal tract can cause traditional food allergy or in combination with exercise, Wheat-Dependent Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis (WDEIA). Sensitization to inhaled wheat flour may lead to occupational rhinitis and/or asthma. METHODS We retrospectively reviewed the case notes of...

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 avoida...

BACKGROUND  Non-celiac wheat sensitivity (NCWS) is a new clinical entity in the world of  gluten-related diseases. Nickel, the most frequent cause of contact allergy, can be found in wheat  and results in systemic nickel allergy syndrome and mimics irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).  Objective: To evaluate the frequency of contact dermatitis due to nickel allergy in NCWS patients  diagnosed by a d...
