      Gluten is the protein that is present in processed flour, it gives bread its elasticity (springyness), this would have no negative affects on somebody with hayfever, as they would be allergic to pollen particles… You can have both hayfever and a gluten intolerance but I don’t think there’s a link between them

      I agree with Judith, I don’t think there’s a link between them.
