Abstract
Background Wheat is one of the six most common foods causing allergy in children. Tests used in clinical practice to diagnose wheat allergy have limited value in predicting allergic reactions when eating wheat. A poor correlation between the outcome of oral wheat-challenges and the levels of IgE-antibodies (IgE-ab) to wheat has been observed. The wheat allergen ω-5 gliadin has been found to facilitate the diagnosis of wheat dependent exercise induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) in adults and also wheat allergy in children.
