Crested Wheatgrass's nutritional content doesn't directly impact its allergenic properties. Its capacity to cause allergies majorly depends on the proteins it contains, rather than its nutritional content such as carbohydrates, fats, or minerals. Allergens are often proteins that can induce an immune response. Exposure to these proteins via inhalation, skin contact, or digestion can result in allergic symptoms in sensitive individuals. However, a plant's overall health, which can be influenced by its nutritional content, might indirectly influence its allergenicity. Healthy plants can produce more potent pollen, potentially raising the severity of allergic reactions.

If you find yourself reacting to Crested Wheatgrass, consider antihistamine allergy pills, nasal sprays, or even allergy shots and consult with a healthcare professional. But remember, each has potential side effects. Pills can cause drowsiness or dryness while shots might lead to a severe allergic reaction. Nonetheless, it's important to manage your allergy symptoms for the sake of your day-to-day comfort.

Lastly, an emphasis on proper nutrition and maintaining a healthy immune system is crucial. It won't prevent allergic reactions, but a robust immune system will help the body to cope better when an allergic event does occur.

Why prevention is more effective than allergy medicine

Exposure therapy:
Train your immune system to fight allergies rather than treat them with medications
Desensitization: Symptoms subside as your body desensitized to allergies reducing or eliminating the need for daily medication
Prevention: Immunotherapy helps prevent and fight allergies at the source
