Buckwheat
Buckwheat intolerance is a relatively rare condition where the body experiences difficulty digesting buckwheat, leading to various digestive symptoms. Unlike a buckwheat allergy, which involves an immune response and can cause severe reactions, intolerance is generally limited to gastrointestinal discomfort....
Description
Buckwheat intolerance is a digestive system issue, where the body struggles to process buckwheat, leading to discomfort. This differs from a buckwheat allergy, which is an immune system reaction to proteins in buckwheat, potentially causing severe and immediate symptoms like swelling, hives, or anaphylaxis. Buckwheat intolerance typically results in milder, digestive-focused symptoms and does not pose the same level of risk as an allergic reaction.
- Abdominal pain and discomfort
- Bloating and gas
- Nausea
- Diarrhea
- Headaches
- Fatigue
- Hives or skin rash
- Itching or swelling of the lips, tongue, or throat
- Stomach pain, nausea, or vomiting
- Diarrhea
- Nasal congestion
- Wheezing or difficulty breathing
- Anaphylaxis (in severe cases)
Since buckwheat is often used in gluten-free products, it’s important to read labels carefully. Inform restaurant staff about your allergy when dining out. Carry antihistamines for mild reactions and, if prescribed, an epinephrine auto-injector for severe reactions. Consider wearing a medical alert bracelet. Lastly, educate friends and family about your allergy to ensure your environment is safe.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the UK. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.
