Symptoms of wheat allergy in women
Don’t take directly the conclusion to diagnose what have you suffered. The diagnosis of wheat allergy may not be enough just through some symptoms that you experience. Always talk with your doctor, especially if the symptoms are getting worse or you experience severe symptoms (but it’s much better not wait until the worse symptoms).
There are some wheat allergy symptoms in women, which may be also almost similar with the symptoms in men. These symptoms may include; allergic rhinitis, eczema, bronchospasm (the smooth muscle in the walls of bronchioles & bronchi gets contraction, which then can cause narrowing of the lumen), and stomach upset.
Like other allergies, people who suffer from wheat also have chance to experience anaphylaxis. It may be the worst symptom and even can lead to potentially life-threatening. It can be the combination of multiple symptoms and usually comes in rapid progression. Therefore, people with allergy should keep prepared for emergency (talk with doctor for more tips about this issue!).
Celiac disease and wheat allergy
Furthermore, sometimes wheat allergy may be also associated with celiac disease. It is a disease that will not allow people who have this disease to eat gluten foods, and they must do gluten-free diet or celiac disease diet. And gluten can come from rye, barley and wheat!
People with celiac disease will be difficult to absorb nutrient from the food that they eat, which eventually can lead to malabsorption and malnutrition.
But don’t worry, not all people with wheat allergy might have celiac disease. Even people who have some symptoms of celiac disease can get ‘negative test result’ of celiac disease, and this situation is always associated what we call as gluten sensitivity. Consult with your doctor for more detailed information!
And women with celiac disease have higher risk to experience infertility, getting more than one miscarriage, and osteoporosis that comes more quickly (due to poor performance of their body to absorb calcium from the food that they eat)!
