Wheat or Gluten Allergy
Wheat or Gluten Allergy

Gluten is a protein found in grains primarily wheat, barley, and rye. Gluten allergies, like any other allergies, develop when our body’s immune system becomes over sensitive and overreacts to gluten.

It causes several digestive issues such as gassiness, bloating, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.  It is not essential that people with a wheat allergy will also be allergic to other grains. They may or may not be allergic.

Do You Know?
Wheat is listed among the top eight allergens in the world. As per information given in the Indian Express article, an “International Symposium on Wheat Related Disorders (ISWD) 2019” was organized in the Capital by the Celiac Society of India (CSI) from January 10-13, 2019 to create awareness about early diagnosis and management of the disease.

 SYMPTOMS

Symptoms usually appear within a few minutes of consuming the wheat in any form. Symptoms can range from mild to severe life-threatening such as anaphylaxis.

– Nausea / Vomiting
– Stomach cramps/ abdominal pain, indigestion
– Diarrhea
– Irritation of your mouth and throat
– Hives and skin rashes
– Nasal congestion or runny nose
– Eye irritation
– Difficulty breathing, in most severe cases anaphylaxis may occur

TREATMENT

A Gluten or Wheat allergy is an IgE mediated allergic response. IgE antibodies get released against the Gluten Protein present in Wheat after being consumed by people allergic to it, triggering an immune response associated with several symptoms.

According to CELIAC INDIA, there are no biopsy changes with no damage to the intestines in people suffering from Wheat Allergy. The database also states that nearly 0.1% of the population is affected by this condition.

The only treatment method for wheat or gluten allergy is to follow a strict gluten/wheat free diet. Nowadays, several alternative grains are available even in the form of bread, pasta, cereals.

FOODS TO AVOID

The Gluten protein gives the dough texture and helps it to rise. People with gluten allergies must avoid the main grains and their preparations such as bread, cookies and biscuits, pasta, semolina-based products, couscous, and some beers.

Gluten may also be present in some non-obvious cereal-based products such as soups, salad dressings, marinades, seasonings, sauces, canned foods, and spices. The only thing is to do is to make sure that one reads food labels carefully to check the ingredients present.  A gluten-free diet does not lack any major nutrients and is not inferior in any way to a gluten-containing diet.

FOODS SAFE FROM GLUTEN

People with gluten allergies should consume foods that are totally sure to not contain any gluten protein. These could be pulses, beans, rice, quinoa, fruits and veggies, oats, millet, flax, corn, chia potatoes, and soy along with plain meat, poultry, and fish products.

Although it may be difficult to live with a gluten allergy, it is not impossible. We @dattmediproducts recommend to consume any micronutrient supplements as asked by your allergist/ physician and follow a gluten-free diet to avoid any unwanted symptoms.

We also recommend people to not follow any special gluten-free diet unless diagnosed with the condition. This could make it difficult to confirm the diagnosis later on.

Wound during physical activity

Recovery doesn’t mean slowing down. Staying active while recovering from an injury or managing a wound doesn’t have to be an impossible task. With the right products and strategies, you can keep moving while ensuring that your recovery stays on track.

Whether you’re returning to your workout routine after surgery, dealing with an orthopedic injury, or healing a wound, we’ve got you covered.  Let’s dive into how you can integrate orthopedic and wound care products into your active lifestyle to keep you on the move and in the game.

The hidden risks of being active during recovery

Exercise helps circulation and mental health, but certain movements can disrupt healing. 
For wounds, bending, twisting, or sweating can weaken dressings and delay recovery.

EXAMPLE

Imagine a wound that’s healing well, but every time you move, the bandage loosens or moisture from sweat causes irritation. That can delay healing, reopen a wound, or even introduce bacteria. Similarly, orthopedic injuries like fractures or sprains require careful management to avoid strain that hinders healing.

The first rule of staying active during recovery?

Keep wounds protected during physical activity. The right products will shield your injury from friction, dirt, and moisture while allowing the skin to breathe. Opt for dressings that stay secure, comfortable, and irritation-free.

Our top products for Active Healing

When it comes to active recovery, we understand that you need products that work with you, not against you. That’s why we recommend products designed for ultimate support and flexibility.

  • Velpore™, Pressure-Sensitive Adhesive Tape:
    Hypoallergenic and breathable, it keeps dressings in place during physical activity without skin irritation.
  • Velfix® T+Pad, Waterproof Dressing:
    Ideal for post-surgical recovery, this waterproof dressing provides a bacterial barrier while you stay active.
  • Velfix® -T Film, Transparent Dressing:
    Clear, waterproof, and flexible, it offers protection while maintaining full range of motion.

When dealing with an orthopedic injury, immobilization is essential—but that doesn’t mean you have to sit on the sidelines.  Whether it’s a sprain, strain, or fracture, finding the right orthopedic product can help ensure that your recovery stays on track, even as you navigate through your day-to-day activities.

Hygiene: Clean up after movement

Excess sweat and dirt can compromise wound care. Velfix® -T+Pad helps manage moisture and ensures easy post-workout cleaning, preventing infection while maintaining healing.

While staying active is crucial, some exercises may be more beneficial than others during recovery. Low-impact activities like walking, swimming, or cycling can promote healing without overstraining your injury.

Recognize when to pause

Pay attention to swelling, redness, or increased pain after activity. If these occur, rest and assess—early intervention ensures faster recovery.

Holistic Healing: Rest & Nutrition

Healing requires proper rest and nutrition. A balanced diet, hydration, and enough sleep support tissue repair and overall recovery. Include vitamins, protein, and antioxidants to aid healing. Stay active and heal efficiently by using the right wound care and orthopedic products. With proper protection, hygiene, and mindful activity, your recovery journey can stay on track.
