Many folks react to flour, and have a common allergy called a flour allergy. Protein from various grains will produce allergens and cause a reaction. This is unfortunate, for many products use flour. The fact that 90% of the flour used on earth is wheat flour. However, barley, oats, rice and other grains seem to have no real effect on most people. A number of internal and external symptoms tell you whether you have this allergy.

One good thing is that flour allergy symptoms are easily recognizable. Many people get hives, which is caused by fluid leaking from blood vessels, causing a lot of itching. Then there is Eczema, an inflammation of the skin - also very itchy. Asthma is produced when the allergens are inhaled - not a good situation. Stomach cramps usually accompany these symptoms, and it is wise to get it checked out. FlourAllergy.com can give you more information.
