Managing a Wheat AllergyHome>> Wheat Food Allergy
Wheat allergy refers specifically to adverse reactions involving immunoglobulin E (IgE) antibodies to one or more proteins of wheat, including albumin, globulin, gliadin and glutenin (gluten). Allergic reactions to wheat may be caused by ingestion of wheat-containing foods or by inhalation of flour containing wheat (Baker's asthma). If you are mildly allergic to wheat, you may be able to try wheat products again. First refrain from all wheat products for at least six months, and then try a small amount. If you don't have a reaction, you may be able to tolerate wheat occasionally. If you have had a severe reaction to wheat, do not attempt to reintroduce it.



If you have a wheat allergy, there are many suitable solutions for cooking wheat free, such as Oat Flour, Rice Flour, Corn Flour, and more. When baking with wheat-free flours, a combination of flours usually works best. Experiment with different blends to find one that will give you the texture you are trying to achieve with your particular recipes.

Try substituting 1 cup wheat flour with one of the following:

7/8 cup rice flour
5/8 cup potato starch flour
1 cup soy flour plus 1/4 cup potato starch flour
1 cup corn flour




Commonly asked questions about Wheat Allergies:
Q What is the difference between celiac disease and wheat allergy?
A Celiac disease and wheat allergy are two distinct conditions. Celiac disease, or "celiac sprue," is a permanent adverse reaction to gluten. Those with celiac disease will not lose their sensitivity to this substance. This disease requires a lifelong restriction of gluten.

The major grains that contain gluten are wheat, rye, oats, and barley. These grains and their by-products must be strictly avoided by people with celiac disease.

Wheat-allergic people have an IgE-mediated response to wheat protein. These individuals must only avoid wheat. Most wheat-allergic children outgrow the allergy.
Q Are kamut and spelt safe alternatives to wheat?
A No. Kamut is a cereal grain which is related to wheat. Spelt is an ancient wheat that has recently been marketed as safe for wheat-allergic individuals. This claim is untrue, however. Wheat-allergic patients can react as readily to spelt as they do to common wheat..


Keep in Mind
Read labels carefully. At least one brand of hot dogs and one brand of ice cream contains wheat. It is listed on the label.
Many country-style wreaths are decorated with wheat products.
Some types of imitation crabmeat contain wheat.
Wheat flour is sometimes flavored and shaped to look like beef, pork, and shrimp, especially in Asian dishes.

If you suspect that you have a wheat allergy, consult your physician or allergists and get tested!
