What does the Wheat Specific IgE test measure?

Q: What is Wheat Specific IgE?

Wheat specific IgE recognises water-soluble albumins and globulins and the alcohol-soluble gliadins, among them omega-5 gliadin (Tri a 19), the dominant allergen in wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. IgE sensitisation to wheat is immunologically and mechanistically distinct from the T-cell-mediated, HLA-restricted response of coeliac disease and from non-coeliac wheat sensitivity.

Q: Why is Wheat Specific IgE measured?

Wheat sIgE supports evaluation of immediate IgE-mediated wheat allergy and exercise-induced reactions, but it does not diagnose coeliac disease, which requires tissue transglutaminase and endomysial serology on a gluten-containing diet. Cross-reactivity with grass pollen profilins frequently produces positive wheat IgE without clinical food reactivity.

Wheat Specific IgE (f4 Wheat sIgE) is a clinical biomarker used in food-sensitivity-allergy assessment. Wheat specific IgE recognises water-soluble albumins and globulins and the alcohol-soluble gliadins, among them omega-5 gliadin (Tri a 19), the dominant allergen in wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis. It is measured in 1 laboratory test on BiomarkersLabs.com.
