Sir,

In response to the above letter we are detailing the available patient information. Our patient had chronic urticaria for past 8 years with a few episodes every month. Her wheat intake was mostly restricted to weekends. The oral challenge was carried out only after her urticaria stopped. Since both prick testing and oral challenge confirmed her allergy, the allergic item needed to be stopped. The patient was lost to follow up after this, hence we do not know the course of her urticaria at present.
