However, in
several cases of wheat allergy, the symptoms could appear a few hours
later. Other reactions to wheat allergy that involve your children
intestines include diarrhea, vomiting, nausea, indigestion, and stomach
cramps.
Wheat Allergy & Gluten Allergy
There are
four proteins that is contained in wheat, they are :
albumins,
globulins, prolamins and glutelins (or gluten). So, gluten is one of the
protein that is contained in wheat, which is difficult to digest by some
people, and that’s why becomes the predominant allergen in wheat.
Besides in wheat, gluten is also found in
rye, barley and oats.
Actually, wheat allergy and gluten allergy is slightly different. Gluten
allergy is known as celiac/coeliac disease/celiac sprue, an auto-immune
disorder. People with celiac disease will not lose their sensitivity to
gluten substance, and that’s why requires a lifelong restriction of
gluten. While people with wheat allergy have an IgE-mediated response to
wheat protein. They must only avoid wheat.
