Wheat flour is a basic foodstuff. Food allergy has been especially described in children, in the form of atopic dermatitis. Food allergy in adults is rare and especially described in the form of anaphylactic shock sometimes induced by effort. Four observations of adult food allergy are presented. The IgE dependent mechanism is documented. The positive oral provocation tests needed doses of 17 to 30 grams. One crossed sensitivity between rye and barley was seen. The major allergen was probably gluten, particularly gliadines. Sensitization was probably due to prolonged inhalation of wheat flour. The authors stress the possibility of food allergy to wheat flour by other mechanisms, the difficulty of diagnosis, needed for a diet without cereal and gluten that is now non reimbursable. |
