A wheat allergy test checks your blood for antibodies that may indicate an allergic reaction to wheat proteins. It is usually ordered when you have symptoms such as hives, stomach upset, or breathing problems after eating wheat. The test helps your clinician decide whether wheat is likely causing your symptoms.

What it measures

  • Wheat-specific IgE — Antibodies made by your immune system that target wheat proteins.
  • Total IgE — A general measure of allergic antibody levels, not specific to wheat.
  • Omega-5 gliadin IgE — A wheat protein linked to a type of wheat allergy triggered by exercise.
  • Gliadin IgE — Antibodies against a component of wheat gluten.
  • Tryptase — A marker sometimes checked after a severe allergic reaction.

Who it is for

Primary care clinicians, allergists, and pediatricians typically order this test. It is most often used for people with suspected food allergy symptoms.

Preparation

No fasting or special preparation is needed. Tell your clinician about all medicines you take, especially antihistamines, as they may affect results.

Results and what they mean

Results are reported as a number for each antibody, often with a reference range. A higher number may suggest allergy, but results must be interpreted by a clinician along with your symptoms and history. This is general information, not medical advice.
