HOW TO LIVE WITH WHEAT ALLERGIES

It is quite common to find children suffering from food allergies. The symptoms can also vary from mild to moderate to severe. Wheat is one of the top eight foods which cause allergies. Most of the food that is available contains wheat as an ingredient in one form or the other. Normally, children are the main sufferers of wheat allergies though they soon outgrow the condition. However, adults suffer from wheat allergies too.

The time taken for wheat allergy to show up after the food is eaten, is normally anywhere between a few minutes to a few hours, and the symptoms also can be mild or severe. Anaphylaxis is a life-threatening allergic symptom which needs immediate medical help. Common symptoms of wheat allergy include nasal congestion, swelling of the airway and inflammation, irritations on the skin or hives, or even nausea, vomiting and diarrhea. When the symptoms are severe, the person can experience shock, dizziness, rapid pulse and constriction of the airway. Anyone suffering from these symptoms requires immediate medical help.

If you are suffering from wheat allergies, the best thing to do is to avoid all wheat products in your diet. This will reduce your chances of getting an allergic reaction. The more the reactions, the more severe the allergy is, and therefore it is advisable to see your doctor immediately even if you experience mild symptoms. Your doctor will then carry out a series of tests to find out if wheat was really the culprit. You too will find it easier to avoid wheat products from your diet as most manufacturers make it a point to list it on their food packages.

If you have a severe wheat allergy reaction, your doctor may advise you to take what is called the Epipen treatment. In this treatment, which is done as an emergency measure for wheat allergies, an injection is given. You can also wear a bracelet which alerts people about your wheat allergy problems. Wheat allergy sufferers are normally told to avoid all wheat products in their diets and to take antihistamines if they are stricken by the allergy.
