Can you be allergic to bread?

Question

I work as a waitress, and a girl ordered Ceaser salad but without bread, saying she is allergic to it...

Answer 1

Yes, it is very possible being allergic to both wheat and gluten if you are allergic to gluten called siliacks disease were you can't have: wheat, oats, malt, barley, and rye. I know this because my boyfriend is allergic to gluten which means that he can't have beer, pasta, bread, and other wheat products. If you have any other questions e-mail me.

Answer 3

Yes, you can be allergic to a bread ingredient. I'm allergic to brewers yeast and eggs which are used in several types of breads.

Answer 4

Yes, I know someone who is allergic to wheat germ, so she is allergic to wheat bread.

If the customer failed to make you aware of their allergy, you are not at fault. You can't read their mind nor do you have access to their medical history. Anyway, I always figure if they don't want bread (or anything else) that's just saving the company money!

Answer 5

You can't be allergic to bread. You can only be allergic to one of its ingredients. Wheat probably. Yeast possibly.

Answer 6

Alot of people are allergic to ingredients in bread like wheat or eggs.

Answer 7

I am allergic to eggs. When i order something with eggs in it like bread and such, I tend to just say I am allergic to it instead of going into detail about being allergic to eggs.

Pizza, macaroni, breads, crackers, cereals, and spaghetti are among many children’s favorite foods. These foods and many others can be sources of gluten (protein found in wheat, rye, and barley). When some children eat gluten-containing foods, their bodies mistake the grain protein for a foreign invader and launch an attack on the protein, damaging the lining of the intestines in the process.

This condition is called celiac disease. Although only about 1 in 2000 or 2500 people have been diagnosed with celiac disease, a study published in the June 19, 2003 issue of the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that the condition is far more common than previously thought. In this study, apparently healthy children were tested for celiac disease. How common was undiagnosed celiac? Shockingly, 1 in 99 children tested positive for celiac disease, making it quite a common condition. Some children with celiac have severe symptoms, such as failure to thrive, vomiting, diarrhea, and muscle wasting. Many children, however, have only subtle symptoms, such as clinginess, tiredness, or irritability. Some have only skin rashes. Because celiac disease is now known to be so common, I am in favor of testing children who have unexplained tummy or intestinal troubles, skin rashes, slow growth, or behavioral problems.

Often children who have celiac disease (and their parents) have been miserable for years before the child is tested. When the test becomes inexpensive enough, it might be wise to routinely test children for celiac disease to prevent long stretches of time before starting the celiac diet and letting the child know what it feels like to feel comfortable, healthy, and strong.

Answer 9

try gluten free foods, they use rice flour in their products, not wheat. Health food stores and some grocers such as albertsons, jewel and domonicks have a gluten free section with cake mixes and bread mixes and etc... has he been tested for celiacs disease? If he is allergic to wheat, does he have problems with oats, barley, or macaroni products? Google Celiacs disease and check the symptoms. Now if he only has allergy to wheat, you can still make gluten free foods. That for sure is wheat free. Good luck!

Answer 10

You can be allergic to yeast, a main component of risen breads. Yeast allergies can be very severe.
