Wheat-dependent exercise-induced anaphylaxis (WDEIA) is characterized by severe allergic symptoms from physical effort performed after wheat ingestion in patients allergic to wheat. The most important allergen in WDEIA is represented by u-5 gliadin, although low- and high-molecular-weight glutenins have been described as causative allergens. This report describes 3 patients with WDEIA, in whom the causative allergen was a 9-kDa wheat lipid transfer protein (LTP
