Re: wheat dependant exercise induced anaphylaxia

Yes and no. I am so new to this as well. I have just been diagnosed with an adult Wheat allergy. I noticed the onset of asthma symptoms, especially after exercise, that increasingly got worse. That is not my only symptom. I also get hives, swelling of the mouth and gums, severe stomach cramps and diarrhea followed immediately after eating wheat. After ages of tests, biopsies, CT scan, colonoscopy, ruling out everything else I got transferred to a specialist who after an elimination diet, determined it was wheat, not gluten unless it's from wheat. And that is where I am utterly lost. I meet with a dietitian next week but in the meantime they sent me home with a prescription for a rescue inhaler, 2 epi pens, and a list of foods to avoid. I'm terrified to eat anything because the pain is so overwhelming and I can't breathe. I am discovering that foods that are gluten free are not wheat free. I don't know what to do. I'm excited to finally have answers for my poor health but I am making a HUGE lifestyle change and I don't feel I have all the info I need to stay healthy.
