Symptoms of IgE mediated wheat allergy can occur from within minutes to up to 2 hours after ingestion and include rhinitis, asthma, hives (urticaria), swelling (angio-oedema) or anaphylaxis. There may also be vomiting, diarrhoea, abdominal pain and a flare up of eczema.
Some people only experience reactions to wheat when they have exercised after eating it, Allergy UK warns. These reactions can be severe and is known as ‘wheat dependant exercise induced anaphylaxis’. Inhaling wheat flour can also cause asthma-type symptoms.
