Why It’s Done:
• To identify a wheat allergy in individuals showing symptoms such as skin rashes, hives, stomach cramps, vomiting, or breathing difficulties after consuming wheat-based foods.
• To differentiate between wheat allergy and other conditions like celiac disease or non-celiac gluten sensitivity.
• To assist in the diagnosis of food allergies in children and adults.
• To monitor changes in allergic response over time, especially in growing children.
Preparation:
• No fasting required.
• No special preparation needed.
• Continue with your regular diet and medications unless advised otherwise by your doctor.
• Inform your healthcare provider about any recent allergic reactions or ongoing symptoms.
