Abstract

Wheat is the most consumed and the most common allergic nutirent among grains in the world. It is included in many daily consumed products and difficult to remove from diet. Since it is consumed with many foods, different nutrients are accused in anamnesis and it is not regarded as allergic food by many patients and their relatives. Allergic skin tests applied with commercial preparats of wheat may not always yield result. Here, we discuss a 26 years male patient showing wheat allergy and anaflaksi induced by exercise. In this case, there is no reactions when a small amount of wheat consumed, however if a large large amount of wheat consumed, urticarial lesions occur. Moreover if exercise is done after wheat intake, it causes anaphylaxis. Although giving positive reaction to many foods that are not compatible with anamnesis in skin tests, there was no reaction to wheat. Therefore, It was diagnosed with provocation test.
