Wheat allergen

Wheat is among the most common food allergens.

MedlinePlus lists wheat among the foods that most often cause food allergies. Wheat allergy is an immune reaction to wheat proteins.

Wheat allergy is not the same as celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity. Those involve gluten, which is also found in barley and rye.

Avoid wheat if you have a diagnosed wheat allergy and follow your clinician's guidance.
