ABSTRACT
PURPOSE OF REVIEW Buckwheat (BW) allergy is a significant issue in Asia. This review delves into three types of BW allergy immediate food allergy; food-dependent, exercise-induced anaphylaxis (FDEIA) as a subset of immediate food allergy; and food protein-induced enterocolitis syndrome (FPIES); by comparing data from Asian and non-Asian countries. RECENT FINDINGS:
Most studies on BW have been published in Japan and Korea, and only a few studies on the topic have been done outside Asia. To date, seven components of common BW (Fagopyrum esculentum) and four components of Tartary BW (Fagopyrum tartaricum) have been implicated in BW allergy. Although BW-sIgE has limited utility for evaluating immediate BW allergy, Fag e 3-specific IgE, one of the components of common BW, and the skin prick test are diagnostically useful. The present review aims to shed light on the current state of knowledge, highlight research gaps, and suggest future directions in the management and understanding of BW allergy.
