Wheat Allergy Symptoms and Avoidance
Wheat products are staples of the American diet. Unfortunately, some proteins found in wheat are allergens (especially gluten). Avoiding wheat and wheat products is the only way to prevent a reaction in allergic people. Wheat allergy symptoms include upset stomach, hay fever, eczema, asthma and even anaphylaxis. Because wheat products are ubiquitous, it is not easy to avoid them..
Always check food label ingredients before use. Lots of processed foods, including ice cream and ketchup contain wheat flour.
