Best homeopathic medicines for Gluten(Wheat) Allergy, causes, symptoms
Gluten is a protein in wheat, barley, and rye. Wheat is a grain used in bread, pasta, and cereal. Wheat often appears in foods like soups and salad dressings as well. Barley is used often in beer and malt foods. Rye is often found in rye bread, beer, and some cereals. One of the common problems today is wheat allergy. This means that the person is allergic to proteins that are present in wheat. A person who is also allergic to wheat will not be able to have anything that contains wheat. In some cases, even by inhaling wheat flour. In this blog, we will discuss the best homeopathic medicines for Gluten(wheat) Allergy.
Wheat allergy is common in children; about two-thirds of them outgrow it at a young age. Wheat allergy is most likely outgrown by adulthood — about 65 percent of children with a wheat allergy will have it by age 12. Though many patients with wheat allergies can eat other grains, that does not apply to everyone. You’re also often at risk of developing an allergy to any food, including whole grains, if you come from a family with a history of allergies or diseases, such as asthma and eczema. If both parents have allergies, you may also have more food allergies than one allergic parent.
Causes of Gluten(wheat) Allergy:
Wheat contains four types of protein – albumin, globulin, gliadin, and gluten. An allergy to one of these four proteins can cause a grain allergy. Like I said before, a wheat allergy is harmful to the body for some good and bad things. In this case, the immune system is also immune to one or more of the four proteins. When a person is allergic to whole grains that contain small amounts of grains, his body becomes ill. There are many common causes of this grain allergy. Some sources of wheat protein are obvious, like bread, but whole wheat protein — especially gluten — is found in many processed foods and even in some creams, body and bath products, and pasta.
Foods that may include wheat proteins include Cakes, muffins, cookies, Breakfast cereals, Pasta, Couscous, Farina, Semolina, Spelt, Crackers, Hydrolyzed vegetable protein, Soy sauce, Meat products, such as hot dogs, Dairy products, such as ice cream, Natural flavorings, Gelatinized starch, Modified food starch, Vegetable gum, Bread and bread crumbs.
Symptoms of Gluten(Wheat) Allergy:
A child or adult with wheat allergy is likely to develop signs and symptoms within minutes to hours after eating something containing wheat. Wheat allergy signs and symptoms also include Swelling, itching or irritation of the mouth or throat, hives, itchy rash or swelling of the skin, Nasal congestion, Headache, Difficulty breathing, Cramps, nausea or vomiting, Diarrhea, Anaphylaxis (less common), a potentially life-threatening reaction that can impair breathing and send the body into shock.
Certain factors may also put you at greater risk of developing wheat allergy:
- Family history: You’re at increased risk of allergy to wheat or other foods if your parents have food
allergies or other allergies, such as asthma. - Age: Wheat allergy is common in babies and toddlers, who have immature immune and digestive systems. Most children develop a wheat allergy by 16, but adults can develop it, often as a cross-sensitivity to grass pollen.
- Some people are allergic to wheat only if they exercise a few hours after eating. Exercising – due to changes in the body that lead to an allergic reaction or a decrease in the body’s immune system and wheat protein. These conditions often lead to life-threatening anaphylaxis. Most allergy symptoms to small grains can sometimes be severe and can even be fatal, which leads to the proper diagnosis and management of the allergy.
