What is wheat allergy? How is it different from Celiac disease and Gluten sensitivity?

Wheat allergy is a food allergy that occurs when the immune system overreacts to proteins found in wheat. Although it is more common in children, it can also be seen in some adults.
Wheat allergy is different from celiac disease and gluten sensitivity. In celiac disease, the immune system attacks the small intestine, whereas in wheat allergy, the immune system directly perceives wheat proteins as a threat and triggers a general allergic reaction. Gluten sensitivity and wheat allergy have similar symptoms and can therefore be easily confused. However, there are differences in reaction time and pathogenesis.
Wheat allergy is an IgE-mediated immune response to wheat components and usually causes a reaction within minutes to hours. Longer response times are rare.
Individuals with gluten sensitivity also develop similar symptoms after consuming gluten-containing foods, but the results are generally milder.
