Rye is one of the most unusual and hardy cereals available. Rye is widely used in bread-making, alcohol fermentation, paper production, the timber industry, as well as fuel and livestock feed. Rye allergens have a lot of cross-reactivity with other cereal grains, including wheat and barley, but only a little with oat and potato extracts.
Common rye allergy symptoms could include:
- hives
- itching
- swelling of the tongue, lips, or throat
- rash
- diarrhea, nausea, or vomiting
- in severe cases, anaphylaxis
