Abstract
Wheat dependent exercised induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is common in Asian adult populations especially in northern China and Korea. A classical WDEIA case is presented with detailed histories, investigations and management plans. Serum specific IgE to omega-5 gliadin is critical for the diagnosis of WDEIA. Avoidance from wheat and exercise are the keys for prevention of anaphylaxis. Omalizumab, a monoclonal antibody against IgE, is reserved for cases with recurrent anaphylaxis and active physical activity status and it is an off-label treatment.
