Developing food alergies

Second Opinions. I'd get a second opinion from a health/nutritionist. If you have eaten gluten before without adverse effects, why now? Stress might be a cause as well. Whatever is the cause make sure you handle it naturally. Good luck!

I agree..... I'd get a second opinion. If you've eaten products with gluten for such a long time, I would be surprised if that was the cause of it. Hives can come from so many different sources...I once got them from using a different laundry detergent. Think about your eating/cleaning/etc. habits lately and see if you've done anything differently.

Yes!. That's absolutely how we develop food allergies/sensitivities. It's physically impossible to have an allergic reaction to something the first time we encounter it, as an allergic reaction requires that the immune system "remembers" a given protein from past exposure. You can eat something everyday for 30 years and become sensitive to it out of the blue. I'd suggest looking into a food rotation diet and even doing some research on Celiac disease, as gluten intolerance can be one of the most hazardous allergies/sensitivities.

yup. I developed allergies to raw fruit when I was a young teenager, and my Celiac disease (gluten-intolerance) didn't manifest until I was 22. It didn't show up in my mom until she was 45. I used to be able to eat all fruits, and then one day my throat started closing up and I couldn't eat anything anymore.
