			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><i>Question by 2010</i>: What is the harm of eating wheat if you tested positive for a moderate grain allergy?</strong><br />
My 6 year old tested positive for barley, corn, rye, rice and wheat. Doctor did say that these are moderate allergies and there is no risk of Anaphylactic shock. I forgot to ask &#8220;what if&#8221; Does anyone know.</p>
<p><strong>Best answer:</strong></p>
<p><i>Answer by caz</i><br />I guess it sort of depends on what type of &#8216;Dr.&#8217; you have seen and what type of &#8216;allergy&#8217; testing you have done.<br />
I am &#8216;guessing&#8217; perhaps that you have not seen an allergist for these tests if your Dr is giving you an assurance that you have no risk of anaphylaxis based on your &#8216;moderate allergies&#8217;. With allergies diagnosed by skin prick tests and Rast (IgE) (ie diagnosed by an allergist or immunologist)  then there is no way to determine what type of reaction you may have ie one time it may be a rash the next time may be anaphylaxis-it is dependent on how much is eaten and previous exposures.It is also based on your previous reactions when ingesting these substances. It is impossible to say based on the results of these tests if you will have anaphylaxis or not.<br />
My son for example has a &#8216;moderate&#8217; reaction (spt) for barley-he has had anaphylaxis once to it and lip swelling on another 3 occasions. He also had &#8216;moderate&#8217; reactions to rye grain but cansafelyy consume these-these grains were tested in relation to real life reactions that he was having when eating foods with these grains in them<br />
If you have gone to an alternativepractitionerr for your allergy tests you may find your child has been tested for IgG allergies-the results of these testing will often come up &#8216;positive&#8217; for many many things as they are really only looking at past exposures rather than allergic response.<br />
I guess what you really need to know is-are you dealing with immediate allergic reactions that require antihistamines/epipens etc or have you been diagnosed based on IgG testing-often used bypractitionerss but not proven to be useful in mainstream allergic testing.<br />
So,&#8230;&#8230;the only way to answer is to check with the person who did the testing. They know your individual circumstances and only they can advise yousafelyy.<br />
good luck caz</p>
