CLINICAL OBSERVATION OF A PATIENT WITH A GLUTEN ALLERGY

Abstract

It is customary to distinguish several types of pathology associated with gluten intolerance: autoimmune (celiac disease, herpetiform dermatitis, gluten ataxia); wheat Allergy (bakers’ asthma, allergic rhinitis, Quincke’s edema, contact urticaria, gastrointerstinal form); congenital non - autoimmune non allergic variant of intolerance. Accurate diagnosis and a restrictive diet for gluten intolerance saves the patient from the clinical manifestations of the disease and improves the quality of life. The selection of a diet is carried out taking into account the mechanism of intolerance. This clinical case demonstrates the process of diagnosis and the effectiveness of elimination therapy.
