Is it possible that my gluten intolerance has become an allergy?

Question

I have irritable bowel syndrome and I have several intolerances (gluten, lactose, soy). Sometimes I eat gluten. Lately, when I eat it, my throat gets tight, itchy and I start coughing.

Good morning, ma'am, The underlying mechanisms of an allergy are quite different from an intolerance. However, the symptoms of an intolerance can resemble those of an allergy in some people That being said, the next time you want to consume gluten, I suggest that you try a very small amount, and that you pay attention to the other ingredients that are in it as well.
