Protocol summary

Summary
This is an interventional study investigating the efficacy, safety and immunological mechanisms of oral wheat desensitization therapy in wheat allergic children. Wheat allergic children who meet the inclusion criteria, are recruited to the study. Patients having uncontrolled asthma, other lung disease, cardiovascular disease or other significant systemic disease and patients having poor compliance are excluded. Anaphylaxis is confirmed by DBPCFC in all patients. At first all patients take Loratadine and Montelukast, to prevent the severe adverse reaction, three days prior to admission.then OFCs (oral food challenges) is performed to determine the initial dose of OIT. In build up phase, patients take cake. if they can take it without severe reactions, they were asked to take bread A, which contains 5.28 gr gluten in 100gr ( start from 15 , increase up to 30gr). the amount of bread increase twice a week . in third step they start from 20 gr of bread B, which contains 8.8 gr gluten in 100g. After finishing build up phase, they were asked to take 60g of bread in a day (maintenance phase). If they can keep taking wheat products without adverse reactions for 3 months, they will aske to eliminate wheat for 2 weeks, then they receive OFCs. If this challenges were negative, we regarde them as tolerant. If positive, we regarde them as desensitization conditions. In addition to clinical measures, some immunological mechanisms of desensitization (Skin prick test, Wheat sIgE, and total IgE) is measured at the first day, at the end of build up phase, and Maintenance phase.
