13 Serious Problems That Hives Could Indicate

Celiac Disease

People with celiac disease are unable to digest gluten, which is a protein found in wheat, rye, and barley and present in many common foods. This autoimmune disease is characterized by a variety of symptoms, particularly gastrointestinal, but also including hives. People with celiac disease are required to avoid all products containing gluten for proper management and to avoid the uncomfortable, and sometimes debilitating, result of their consumption. An allergist can make a diagnosis with a blood test.
