When Wheat Matters: Allergy, Celiac Disease, and Intolerances

Wheat allergy, celiac disease, and non-specific gluten intolerance all share overlapping gastrointestinal symptoms that can confound primary care diagnosis. This episode addresses the core diagnostic challenge of distinguishing IgE-mediated wheat allergy (including ω-5 gliadin–associated wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis) from celiac disease and non-celiac gluten intolerance. We cover epidemiology, clinical presentations and timing of IgE reactions, component-resolved diagnostics, serologic algorithms for celiac disease, when to refer for biopsy, and management implications including gluten-free diet counseling and emergency planning for anaphylaxis. Practical takeaways emphasize improving diagnostic yield in primary care, appropriate use of specific IgE testing, and when specialist referral is necessary.
