[…] If your child has a wheat allergy (or any kind of serious food allergy), always keep two doses of epinephrine available in case of a severe reaction. […] The doctor can also give you an allergy action plan, which helps you prepare for, recognize, and treat an allergic reaction. […] Every second counts in an allergic reaction. If your child starts having serious allergic symptoms, like swelling of the mouth or throat or trouble breathing, use the epinephrine right away.

  A wheat allergy is an adverse immune response to wheat proteins. This allergic reaction can cause symptoms ranging from mild (like hives and itchiness) to severe (such as anaphylaxis). […] Wheat allergy occurs when the body’s immune system mistakenly identifies wheat proteins as harmful and triggers an allergic reaction.

Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor or nurse advice line if your child is having problems. During a mild reaction, give your child a non-drowsy antihistamine, such as loratadine (Claritin), as your doctor recommends. During a severe reaction, give your child an epinephrine shot.

[…] Nowak-Wegrzyn said she was encouraged by the results but was not ready to say they should be implemented in clinical practice. […] There is hope that with more research we will be able to provide a treatment that will reduce the risk of life-threatening allergic reactions caused by small amounts of wheat to keep patients with severe wheat allergy safe and with longer duration of treatment, allow them to eat and enjoy regular wheat products in their daily diet, she said in the interview.
