4 year behind the times son diagnosed beside wheat allergy?

My 4 year old sons pediatrician had my son take a routine series of allergy test. The tests taken from blood samples. The wheat allergy test come back positive.
uestion is, do we absolutely own to take wheat out of his diet? He's been eating wheat his unharmed life. His pediatrician said that while he may not have a severe reaction or run into respiratory shock, the wheat could cause other things like sinus congestion and perhaps ear ache's or fluid losing his ears (which he currently has).

Another question I have is whether or not there are other test and if the test he's taken is really accurate. We have cut wheat out of his diet until we get more information. As I mentioned above, he's eat wheat his whole life and never showed any overt problems.

Sensitivity can result in inflammation. Inflammation can cause things like restricting the drainage of the inner ear through the eustacian tubes. This inflammation can also head to more infections, increased risks for asthma, or futher allergies. There are chemicals that the immune system uses to communicate their level of agitation, which changes normal immune function.

I'll use an analogy here - when allergens are low, next its like a quite room with a few those in it. It is easier for the immune system "bouncer" keep the peace. When a severe infection sets in, some guy runs into the room and scream "fire" or "fight" and action is quick and focused. Having a lot of trigger allergens around is similar to a loud, crowded night club and it is tough for your immune system (the bouncer) to quickly determine what the problem is and neutralize it. As a result, mistakes can be made. It may create more problems and damage trying to protect your son than what it would usually do. This includes developing other allergies (letting in the rif-raf accidentally), having more infections/colds (more fights capture bigger than they should), or your son putting more energy than he should into the immune system at a time when his other cells should be growing.
