Gluten Allergy

Presentation

Presentation. May 4, 2018. Igbinedion SO, Ansari J, Vasikaran A, et al. Non-celiac gluten sensitivity: All wheat attack is not celiac. World J Gastroenterol. 2017;23(40):7201–7210. [nationalceliac.org]

It can present with life-threatening hypotension, diarrhea and other atypical symptoms. [jems.com]

Gluten is present in any wheat-based foods. It is also added to some foods that are based on other grains. Wheat-sensitive people may need to avoid products that contain any grain flours because it is likely that gluten is still present. [nyallergy.com]

Gluten is present in wheat (including spelt, kamut, triticale), barley, and rye. Oats are not related to gluten-containing grains. [allergycliniclondon.co.uk]

A wheat allergy is an immune response to any of the proteins present in wheat, including but not limited to gluten. It’s most common in children. Around 65 percent of children with a wheat allergy outgrow it by the age of 12. [healthline.com]

Gastrointestinal

  • Choking

    Web sites devoted to the topic are choked with warnings: Steer clear of oats, which might contain traces of wheat gluten ; only buy pre-packaged meat, so as to avoid the contaminated deli-slicer ; don’t trust the “gluten-free” labels at Trader Joe’s or [slate.com]

Treatment

The treatment is a strict gluten-free diet and may also include medications to manage symptoms. [nationalceliac.org]

Treatment Avoidance – First and foremost, the most important treatment for any form of gluten allergy is avoidance. A single exposure to gluten in someone with celiac disease can produce an inflammatory reaction that can last 3 months. [greenmountainhealth.com]

The treatment for celiac disease is adhering to a strict gluten-free diet. The treatment for a wheat allergy is to adhere to a strict wheat-free diet. [healthline.com]

Epinephrine is currently the only treatment for anaphylaxis. Having your epinephrine auto-injector with you at all times is required when suffering from a severe food allergy. [nyallergy.com]

Understanding Its Causes, Symptoms, and Treatment Wheat allergy is commonly conflated with having celiac disease or a gluten intolerance — and sometimes a “gluten allergy” (there’s no such thing!) [everydayhealth.com]

Prognosis

This can show up as diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, skin rash, anemia, fatigue, or osteoporosis—and the long-term prognosis isn’t so good, either: Celiac patients have almost twice the normal risk of cancer, and one-third of them suffer from another [slate.com]

It should be started as soon as possible to improve the prognosis. [1] The death of neurons in the cerebellum in ataxia is the result of gluten exposure and is irreversible. [en.wikipedia.org]

Prevention

Timely diagnosis and treatment of CD is crucial to prevent grave consequences such as osteoporosis and even cancer. CD is almost always associated with anemia. About 50% of patients with gluten-sensitive enteropathy are found to be anemic. [news-medical.net]

Just make sure all of these alternatives are made in a gluten-free facility to prevent potential cross-contamination. [uk.news.yahoo.com]

If you’re diagnosed with celiac, the only treatment available right now is a strict gluten-free diet, which will allow your small intestine to heal, relieving symptoms and preventing nutritional deficiencies that can arise from problems absorbing food [everydayhealth.com]

And up to a third of Americans are cutting back on it in the hope that it will improve their health or prevent disease. Is This Really a Myth? To call something a myth, it's important to define the term. [health.harvard.edu]

[…] wheat allergy reactions, like other food allergy symptoms, can develop when a child is not with his or her family, parents need to make sure that their child’s school, day care or other program has a written emergency action plan with instructions on preventing [acaai.org]
