I am Coeliac. My favourite restaurant where I live in Spain is owned and fronted by a lovely guy who’s sister has the same condition. He recently told me that his sister now had anaphylactic shock after a serious glutening and now has to constantly carry epi pens. Has anybody else heard of this ?

Hi taffy
I’ve come across one person with this problem, a young man. I think it’s unusual and wonder if it may be linked to a wheat allergy? Anaphylaxis is an allergic reaction not usually associated with an autoimmune disorder.
If you look on a science site like PubMed you should be able to find some information.
It's actually not all that uncommon for someone with Celiac's to also have a wheat allergy or to develop one. I suffer with both....and it's a tricky combination to deal with. Unfortunately, it seems no matter how vigilant you are, the best you can do is to expect the unexpected exposures and be ready.
Not what you're looking for?
