Yeah, it's a full-blown wheat allergy, which is something kids generally only get but grow out of. I got it when I was 34. I keep an epi pen on hand, and antihistamines help somewhat for mild reaction, but mostly I'm just really careful. I just can't understand why it hit me in adulthood, out of the blue. Nothing else gives me any reaction. I've pretty much resigned myself to never eating wheat again. Every time I've accidentally had even a crumb I react, everything from brain fog to heart palpitations. I'm mostly fine with it now, except it makes it very hard to eat out, and travelling is a nightmare.
