Can you be allergic to buckwheat?!
Question: Can you be allergic to buckwheat.?
am vegan so I had buck wheat pancakes for lunch, I've NEVER had buck wheat before and after I ate them my stomach started to feel very odd and I got a little bit light headed.
So, can you be allergic OR is it just because I wasn't used to it.?
It is gluten free, wheat free, dairy free, egg free, yeast free, GMO free, soy free, cane sugar free and is vegan.
SO it is none of those things.Health Question & Answer

Answers:
An allergy can't occur if you've never had something before, as it's caused by a reaction to something which you have already been exposed to. As it says in Wikipedia, allergies are "acquired" which means you aren't born with them.
Having said that, you may have an intolerance to buckwheat. Or maybe it's monocalcium phosphate...
WHAT are all those chemicals doing in there.? I know vegans have to take in more chemicals to make up for things they don't eat that have particular properties, but that one doesn't sound great. I just looked that up, seems it's there to make the baking powder rise. But it's also found in fertilizers...
Then there's that unnamed raising agent - or is that raising agent (monocalcium phosphate).?
Buckwheat is not even a cereal, although it's used as such. It's a member of the same botanical family as mountain sorrel, bistort and Japanese knotweed. The latin name is Fagopyrum esculentum.Health Question & Answer

Yessss...and wheat can be troublesome to a low-immune system...of which I have...
Because my body has low-immune deficiencies... not AIDs ... but symptoms similiar to lupus and I suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, swelling of the joints, wounds are so to heal. Soooo... I have to refrain from eating BREADS and wheat products ... such as cake... and ...pancakes...I substitute with oat bran ... and reap the digestion benefits as well
....AND...exactly what is buck "wheat" if "no wheat" Is it similar to oats...and YES...YOU CAN BE ALLERGIC TO ANYTHING..YOU CAN EVEN BE ALLERGIC TO A CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS... Soooo...I wouldn't rule it out...but...unlikely...

Yes, you can be allergic to any protein. Did you make them yourself.? Did you have anything on them.? (butter, syrup.?). What did you have to drink with your meal.?
If you have this reaction again, or it gets worse the next time you eat any (if ever), I strongly suggest that you see a doctor about it.Health Question & Answer
