Alergia na pszenicę
Objawy

Alergia na pszenicę to immunologiczna nadwrażliwość na białka pszenicy, manifestująca się objawami skórnymi (pokrzywka, świąd, obrzęk), oddechowymi (przekrwienie błony śluzowej nosa, świszczący oddech, kaszel), żołądkowo-jelitowymi (nudności, wymioty, bóle brzucha, biegunka) oraz innymi symptomami, takimi jak ból głowy czy świąd jamy ustnej. Reakcje mogą pojawić się natychmiastowo (w ciągu minut) lub opóźnione (do 48 godzin) po ekspozycji na alergen. Szczególnie istotna jest anafilaksja, zagrażająca życiu reakcja wymagająca natychmiastowego podania epinefryny, objawiająca się m.in. obrzękiem gardła, trudnościami w oddychaniu, spadkiem ciśnienia i wstrząsem. W niektórych przypadkach występuje anafilaksja indukowana wysiłkiem zależna od pszenicy (WDEIA), gdzie czynniki takie jak wysiłek fizyczny, alkohol czy leki nasilają reakcję alergiczną.

Objawy alergii na pszenicę

Alergia na pszenicę to nieprawidłowa reakcja układu odpornościowego na białka zawarte w pszenicy. Objawia się ona różnorodnymi symptomami, które mogą wystąpić w ciągu kilku minut do kilku godzin po spożyciu lub inhalacji produktów zawierających pszenicę. Reakcje alergiczne mogą być wywołane zarówno przez spożycie pszenicy, jak również, w niektórych przypadkach, przez wdychanie mąki pszennej.12

Typowe objawy skórne

Reakcje skórne stanowią jedne z najczęstszych objawów alergii na pszenicę i mogą obejmować:12

12

Objawy ze strony układu oddechowego

Alergia na pszenicę może powodować różnorodne symptomy ze strony układu oddechowego, które przypominają objawy alergii wziewnych:12

  • Przekrwienie błony śluzowej nosa (uczucie zatkanego nosa)
  • Wyciek z nosa
  • Kichanie
  • Świszczący oddech
  • Kaszel
  • Trudności w oddychaniu
  • Ucisk w klatce piersiowej

123

Objawy ze strony przewodu pokarmowego

Objawy żołądkowo-jelitowe są powszechne i mogą obejmować:12

  • Nudności
  • Wymioty
  • Bóle brzucha i skurcze
  • Biegunkę
  • Wzdęcia
  • Niestrawność
  • Refluks żołądkowo-przełykowy

123

Inne częste objawy

Alergia na pszenicę może również manifestować się innymi objawami, takimi jak:12

  • Ból głowy
  • Obrzęk, swędzenie lub podrażnienie jamy ustnej lub gardła
  • Świąd i łzawienie oczu
  • Zmęczenie i osłabienie
  • Zawroty głowy

123

Anafilaksja – zagrażająca życiu reakcja alergiczna

W niektórych przypadkach alergia na pszenicę może wywołać zagrażającą życiu reakcję zwaną anafilaksją. Jest to poważne powikłanie wymagające natychmiastowej pomocy medycznej.12

Objawy anafilaksji

Oprócz typowych objawów alergii na pszenicę, anafilaksja może powodować:12

  • Obrzęk lub ucisk w gardle
  • Ból lub ucisk w klatce piersiowej
  • Poważne trudności w oddychaniu
  • Problemy z przełykaniem
  • Bladą lub siną skórę
  • Zawroty głowy lub omdlenia
  • Nagły spadek ciśnienia krwi
  • Przyspieszone tętno
  • Uczucie nadchodzącego nieszczęścia
  • Wstrząs
  • Nagłe osłabienie

123

Anafilaksja wymaga natychmiastowej pomocy medycznej i zwykle jest leczona za pomocą zastrzyku z epinefryny. Nawet po otrzymaniu pomocy, konieczna jest dalsza opieka medyczna.12

Progresja i charakter objawów alergii na pszenicę

Czas wystąpienia objawów

Objawy alergii na pszenicę mogą pojawić się w różnym czasie po ekspozycji na alergen:12

  • Natychmiastowe reakcje – występują w ciągu kilku minut po spożyciu pszenicy
  • Opóźnione reakcje – mogą pojawić się w ciągu kilku godzin, a nawet do 48 godzin po ekspozycji

12

W przypadku anafilaksji objawy zwykle pojawiają się bardzo szybko, w ciągu kilku sekund do kilku minut po kontakcie z alergenem.1

Nasilenie objawów

Objawy alergii na pszenicę mogą być:12

  • Łagodne – ograniczone do jednego układu organizmu (np. tylko wysypka skórna)
  • Umiarkowane – obejmujące kilka układów organizmu
  • Ciężkie – w tym anafilaksja, która może obejmować wiele układów jednocześnie

12

Nasilenie reakcji alergicznych może być różne, a ta sama osoba może reagować różnie w różnych momentach. Reakcje mogą nasilać się z kolejnymi ekspozycjami na pszenicę.12

Szczególne formy alergii na pszenicę

Alergia na pszenicę zależna od wysiłku fizycznego

Niektóre osoby z alergią na pszenicę rozwijają objawy tylko wtedy, gdy wykonują ćwiczenia fizyczne w ciągu kilku godzin po spożyciu pszenicy. Jest to stan znany jako anafilaksja indukowana wysiłkiem zależna od pszenicy (WDEIA – Wheat-Dependent Exercise-Induced Anaphylaxis).12

Zmiany w organizmie wywołane ćwiczeniami albo wyzwalają reakcję alergiczną, albo pogarszają odpowiedź układu odpornościowego na białko pszenicy. Stan ten zwykle prowadzi do zagrażającej życiu anafilaksji.12

Oprócz ćwiczeń, inne czynniki takie jak alkohol, leki (przeciwbólowe), stres czy czynniki hormonalne mogą również przyczyniać się do wystąpienia reakcji.12

Nieimmunologiczne (nie-IgE) reakcje na pszenicę

Reakcje nie-IgE zależne na pszenicę mogą wystąpić w ciągu kilku godzin do kilku dni po spożyciu pszenicy i obejmują:12

  • Biegunkę
  • Zaostrzenie egzemy
  • Eozynofilowe zapalenie przełyku (EoE)
  • Eozynofilowe zapalenie żołądka (EG)

12

Populacja dotknięta alergią na pszenicę

Alergia na pszenicę jest jedną z najczęstszych alergii pokarmowych i występuje częściej u dzieci niż u dorosłych.12

Większość dzieci wyrasta z alergii na pszenicę przed osiągnięciem dojrzałości – około 65% dzieci z alergią na pszenicę wyrasta z niej do 12 roku życia.12

Im później w życiu rozwija się alergia na pszenicę, tym bardziej prawdopodobne jest, że będzie to stan trwały.12

Opieka medyczna i dalsze postępowanie

Osoby doświadczające objawów alergii na pszenicę powinny skontaktować się z lekarzem w celu prawidłowej diagnozy. Jeśli objawy są poważne, konieczna jest natychmiastowa pomoc medyczna.12

W przypadku ciężkiej alergii na pszenicę, lekarz może przepisać zastrzyk z epinefryny (np. EpiPen) do użycia w sytuacjach awaryjnych. Epinefryna szybko odwraca objawy anafilaksji.12

Po zdiagnozowaniu alergii na pszenicę, kluczowe jest unikanie produktów zawierających pszenicę. Oznacza to dokładne czytanie etykiet i informowanie personelu restauracji o alergii.12

Regularne wizyty kontrolne u alergologa mogą pomóc w monitorowaniu stanu i dostosowywaniu planu leczenia w miarę potrzeb. Nie należy próbować samodzielnie wprowadzać pszenicy z powrotem do diety bez konsultacji z lekarzem specjalistą.12

Niektóre dzieci mogą wyrosnąć z alergii na pszenicę w miarę zbliżania się do okresu dojrzewania. Ważne jest, aby przeprowadzić nadzorowany test – taki jak prowokacja pokarmowa – w celu ustalenia, czy dziecko musi nadal unikać tego pokarmu, czy można go wprowadzić do diety.12

    https://kidshealth.org/en/parents/wheat-allergy.html
    When someone is allergic to wheat, the body’s immune system, which normally fights infections, overreacts to proteins in the wheat. If the person eats something made with wheat, the body thinks these proteins are harmful invaders and responds by working very hard to fight off the invader. This causes an allergic reaction. […] When someone with a wheat allergy has something with wheat in it, their body releases chemicals like histamine. This can cause symptoms such as: wheezing, trouble breathing, coughing, hoarseness, throat tightness, belly pain, vomiting, diarrhea, itchy, watery, or swollen eyes, hives, red spots, swelling, a drop in blood pressure, causing lightheadedness or loss of consciousness (passing out). […] Allergic reactions to wheat can differ. Sometimes the same person can react differently at different times. Some reactions can be very mild and involve only one system of the body, like hives on the skin. Other reactions can be more severe and involve more than one part of the body.

    Although rare, WDEIA (wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis) is a special form of wheat allergy that can progress to a very severe stage. The strange thing about WDEIA is that adults and adolescents with this allergy can normally tolerate wheat. They only experience allergic reactions when they engage in physical activity after eating foods containing wheat. In addition to exercise, other triggers have been identified such as alcohol, (pain) medication, stress, or hormonal factors such as menstruation in the case of women. If one of these exacerbating factors coincides with wheat consumption, allergic reactions occur 30 minutes to six hours later. These can include itchy skin, wheals, hives or facial swelling. There may also be abdominal pain, diarrhoea or vomiting. In some cases, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, heart palpitations and even circulatory collapse may occur.

    If you get a stomachache after eating cereal, bread or pasta, you may have a wheat allergy. A wheat allergy, like every allergy, is when your immune system identifies wheat proteins as harmful. Therefore, when you eat wheat, your immune system responds and releases histamine and other chemicals, which then causes your allergic symptoms.

    When someone is allergic to wheat, the body’s immune system, which normally fights infections, overreacts to proteins in the wheat. If the person eats something made with wheat, the body thinks these proteins are harmful invaders and responds by working very hard to fight off the invader. This causes an allergic reaction. […] When someone with a wheat allergy has something with wheat in it, their body releases chemicals like histamine. This can cause symptoms such as: wheezing, trouble breathing, coughing, hoarseness, throat tightness, belly pain, vomiting, diarrhea, itchy, watery, or swollen eyes, hives, red spots, swelling, a drop in blood pressure, causing lightheadedness or loss of consciousness (passing out).

  • #2 Wheat Allergy – ECARF
    https://www.ecarf.org/en/information-portal/allergies-overview/wheat-allergy/
    Although rare, WDEIA (wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis) is a special form of wheat allergy that can progress to a very severe stage. The strange thing about WDEIA is that adults and adolescents with this allergy can normally tolerate wheat. They only experience allergic reactions when they engage in physical activity after eating foods containing wheat. In addition to exercise, other triggers have been identified such as alcohol, (pain) medication, stress, or hormonal factors such as menstruation in the case of women. If one of these exacerbating factors coincides with wheat consumption, allergic reactions occur 30 minutes to six hours later. These can include itchy skin, wheals, hives or facial swelling. There may also be abdominal pain, diarrhoea or vomiting. In some cases, difficulty breathing, low blood pressure, heart palpitations and even circulatory collapse may occur.
