Exercise-induced anaphylaxis
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Exercise-induced anaphylaxis (EIA) is a syndrome in which the symptoms of anaphylaxis occur related to exercise.
In some incidents, individuals experienced anaphylaxis only after combination exposure to a triggering agent and increased physical activity shortly after the ingestion of the triggering agent. In these individuals, either the exercise or ingestion of the triggering agent alone does not cause anaphylaxis. Triggers include foods (commonly celery, wheat, soy protein, cheese, and shellfish) and medication (aspirin and NSAIDs).
In other incidents, individuals experienced anaphylaxis with exercise and no triggering agent.
Exercise-induced anaphylaxis is the result of an allergic (IgE mediated) response to the ω-gliadin component of wheat glutens (and homologous proteins of the grass tribe Triticeae)[1] and is similar to another condition known as baker's asthma.[2] Neither disease is necessarily linked to gluten intolerance, although both involve IgE subclass of immunoglobulin. Baker's asthma is triggered by the inhalation of flour, and EIA is triggered by the circulation of wheat gliadin peptides in the blood that occurs during exercise or after prolonged use of aspirin or NSAIDS (e.g. ibuprofen).[3]
