Hello,

Thank you for asking at HCM.

I went through your history and would like to make following suggestions to you:

1. Wheat allergy is fairly common, but diagnosis has to be confirmed by an experienced allergist as allergy testing can sometimes be misleading.

2. If you have confirmed wheat allergy, the best strategy is avoidance as unfortunately there is no satisfactory treatment for food allergy in modern medicine as yet.

3. Allergen immunotherapy (prescribed by allergist-immunologist) may help but not always, chinese medicine, ayurvedic medicine, etc can help but they are experimental at present and not scientifically proven yet.

Hope above suggestions will be helpful to you.

Should you have nay further query, please feel free to ask at HCM.

Wish you the best of the health.

Thank you & Regards.
