We eat so many wheat products each day that it’s hard to imagine how anyone with a wheat allergy could manage to live a normal life. But many wheat allergy sufferers do. That’s because they took the time to understand their condition, recognize the ways it manifests, and seek out wheat alternatives to replace the foods that cause an allergic reaction.
What allergies share some symptoms with other food allergies, but they also have symptoms that are very different – and sometimes alarming. For example, someone with a wheat allergy might experience chest pain and dizziness. Others find that they have to urinate more than usual after eating wheat products. Still others might suffer from a swollen tongue, irritated eyes, or mood swings. More common symptoms include gastrointestinal complaints, nausea, skin rash, and vomiting.
Whenever a food allergy is suspected, the sufferer needs to investigate which food is causing the problems. This is done by cutting out one food at a time and watching for a corresponding decrease in symptoms. Then foods are added back to the diet until the symptoms reappear. Then the food causing the allergy is revealed, and can be avoided. Some people find that keeping a written record of their food consumption helps them pinpoint problem foods. If this method is unsuccessful, a physician can perform allergy tests.
If it’s determined that you do have food allergies, don’t despair. You can find relief from your symptoms just by cutting problem foods from your diet. It might sound daunting to remove wheat from your diet, but it’s easier now than ever. There are wheat-free alternatives for almost every food. Even better – they taste great.
Don’t let a wheat allergy make you miserable. Go online or to your local health food store and ask about wheat-free or gluten-free food products. You’ll be back to eating bread and pasta in no time!
