Wheat Allergy

[skurtz]

if diagnosed with a wheat allergy can you somewhere down the road develop Celiac or can you have both??

[Rachel--24]

A wheat allergy is a completely different immune response. Its not related to Celiac at all. An allergy cannot turn into Celiac. Celiac Disease is autoimmune . It is possible to have both conditions though. Some Celiacs also have a wheat allergy.

I had a wonderful weekend. I tried some new suntan lotion for the sun tan machines, because I need a base tan before I get to jamaica. Well I contacted the company who said there was no wheat or wheat gluten in it. Well, I tried it on my leg, it felt like my flesh was burning off, welts rose on my leg and I quickly had a shower. However, my face swelled up and was burning, I have a killer headache and runny nose, then my stomach started burning and the big D started to come back. I believe along with my wheat allergy which has probably gotten worse since going gluten-free and my Celiac, along with maybe something else chemical.

At first I thought I had the flu but the doctor said it was a very violent allergic reaction and it more than likely had wheat in it somewhere. I read every label and still it happens.

my daughter has both Celiac and a wheat allergy. She breaks out into hives if she even touches anything with wheat.

I dont have a wheat allergy but sometimes my skin is affected from gluten. I've gotten rashes or tiny bumps on my face....they dont itch. I dont have DH.

[skurtz]

so do you also get mini blisters? on face??

[Rachel--24]

I dont think they're blisters. They're very tiny clear bumps but they dont pop or oooze or anything. They just go away on their own. My skin will sometimes burn slightly before they show up. They're so small though...nothing even very noticeable.

I get a rash and/or hives from gluten. They look a lot like chicken pox, but they can blend together to form a rash. Sometimes they are itchy and somethimes they aren't. I'm not sure if the reaction is due to celiac disease or my wheat allergy. The spots don't look like dh, so I'm assuming they are a result of my wheat allergy.
