For both wheat allergy and coeliac disease the dietary avoidance of wheat and other gluten‐containing cereals is the only effective treatment. Estimation of the maximum tolerated amount of gluten for susceptible individuals would support effective management of their disease.

Systematic review: tolerable amount of gluten for people with coeliac disease
TLDR
The threshold amount of gluten in ‘gluten‐free’ products that can be tolerated by people with coeliac disease is unclear and this work aims to clarify this status.
Celiac disease and risk management of gluten
Helping Adults With Celiac Disease to Eat Well
TLDR
This review focuses on helping adults with celiac disease to manage their eating and to achieve a high quality of life.
Gluten in Celiac Disease—More or Less?
TLDR
The literature was reviewed to evaluate the upper limit for gluten content in food, which would be safe for patients with celiac disease and most health authorities define gluten-free products as containing less than 20 parts per million gluten.
The Gluten-Free Diet for Celiac Disease and Beyond
TLDR
Signals, proven benefits, and adverse events of a gluten-free diet are reviewed to establish a connection between the brain and gluten and to assess the effectiveness of the diet in managing mental and cognitive disorders.
Clinical trial: gluten microchallenge with wheat‐based starch hydrolysates in coeliac disease patients – a randomized, double‐blind, placebo‐controlled study to evaluate safety
TLDR
These products contain low amounts of residual gluten and it has been questioned whether they are safe for coeliac disease patients.

Wheat is one of the major crops grown, processed and consumed by humankind and is associated with both intolerances (notably coeliac disease) and allergies.
Complete recovery of intestinal mucosa occurs very rarely in adult coeliac patients despite adherence to gluten‐free diet
TLDR
It is shown that following a gluten‐free diet with a probiotic supplement increases the likelihood of healing of small intestinal mucosa in coeliac patients and reduces the risk of disease in adults.
A Case of Gluten Allergy in a 4-Year-Old Boy With Recurrent Urticaria
TLDR
A case of a 4-year-old boy with gluten allergy who presented with urticaria after ingestion kneaded wheat flour is reported with a brief review of the literature.
Innate and adaptive immunity in childhood celiac disease
TLDR
A person diagnosed with celiac disease is likely to have aversions to wheat gluten and related proteins in rye and barley, as well as to have an immune response to these proteins.

The safe threshold for gluten contamination in gluten‐free products. Can trace amounts be accepted in the treatment of coeliac disease?
TLDR
This work has shown that gluten contamination in gluten‐free products cannot totally be avoided and the safe threshold for gluten remains obscure.

Background Cereal‐associated allergy is particularly considered a serious problem, because cereals are essential in our daily diet. Wheat proteins are classified into albumins, globulins and…
Wheat‐starch‐based gluten‐free products in the treatment of newly detected coeliac disease: prospective and randomized study
TLDR
The safety of wheat‐starch‐based gluten‐free products in the treatment of coeliac disease is debatable and further studies are needed to determine whether these products are safe and effective in the presence of gluten.
IgE binding to soluble and insoluble wheat flour proteins in atopic and non‐atopic patients suffering from gastrointestinal symptoms after wheat ingestion
TLDR
The IgE‐mediated hypersensitivity reactions in the genesis of gastrointestinal symptoms after ingestion of foods containing wheat have been rarely reported and the role of gluten is still poorly understood.
Antigliadin IgE – indicator of wheat allergy in atopic dermatitis
TLDR
This study has investigated the allergenic fraction of wheat in AD and found that gluten-related diseases and baker's asthma are major underlying causes of atopic dermatitis.
IgE antibodies to ω‐5 gliadin in children with wheat‐induced anaphylaxis
TLDR
Wheat can cause severe immunoglobulin E (IgE)‐mediated systemic reactions including anaphylaxis but knowledge on relevant wheat allergens at the molecular level is scanty, so research is needed to understand the mechanisms behind these reactions.

Background Cereals are among the major foods that account for food hypersensitivity reactions. Salt‐soluble proteins appear to be the most important allergens contributing to the asthmatic response.…
Evaluation of a gliadin-containing gluten-free product in coeliac patients.
TLDR
A cross-over study was carried out in which ten treated coeliac patients ingested six slices daily of home-baked gliadin-containing gluten-free bread for 6 weeks, while jejunal biopsy morphometry and 51Cr-EDTA excretion were similar after the test and control periods.
Skin‐prick test and RAST responses to cereals in children with atopic dermatitis. Characterization of IgE‐binding components in wheat and oats by an immunoblotting method
TLDR
Background Hypersensitiviiy to cereals may occur via inhalation or ingestion and only little information is available of the allergens causing symptoms in patients with atopic dermatitis (AD).
Concurrent cereal allergy in children with cow's milk allergy manifested with atopic dermatitis
TLDR
This work has shown that multiple food sensitization, such as cereals, is very common in patients with cow's milk allergy (CMA), and evidence is lacking, however, as to its clinical relevance.
