What is a malt allergy?

Answer 1

I have wondered the same thing.

My 3 year old twin daughtershave eczema. This led us eventually to an allergist. As a child I had milk, soy, bean, egg, and a litany of other Allergies long since forgotten. It was my own curiosity that had me have them tested...mainly for milk and soy allergies.

They came back clear for that. However tested positive for egg white, corn, malt, pineapple, peanuts, and a few others.

So with the removal of the family pet and the bulk of the allergens in the house, one of the twins cleared up. Almost completely. She develops a spot or two but doesn't give her much trouble.

The other twin just continues to get worse. The only egg product she gets are in baked goods and I'm looking for a way to elminate that. Peanuts weren't difficult to eliminate at all. Corn is difficult. Very difficult because they love it....corn cereal, corn bread, corn in and of itself.

We discovered pineapple and kiwi on our own but she tesed negative for Oranges.

Anyhow, I'm stumped by the malt. I'm not sure what I should be elminating. Malt, malted barley, malted vinegar, maltodexterine????

So I'm with you....if someone has an answer I'm begging you to share.
