DIFFERENCE BETWEEN WHEAT ALLERGY & CD
1.  If a person has a wheat allergy, they will not get a positive blood test
result and a biopsy would not show flattened mucosa.  RAST testing is useful
in diagnosing wheat allergies.
2. A person does not have CD if blood tests do not show elevated levels (or a
positive reading), but a person could still have a wheat allergy.
3.  Wheat allergies will show symptoms in approx. 1 hour while CD reactions
show maximum symptoms upto approx. 3 days after ingestion.  Then, it will
take the micro-villi another 3 days to regrow.  The total time between
ingestion & end of symptoms can easily be a week or more with CD.
