Does having an allergic reaction increase your TDEE?

I'm wondering.
I have a wheat allergy and yesterday i knowlngly wheated myself with bbq wings at the bar, this morning i had a krispy kreme donut and by noon my allergy symptoms were kicking in : pressure behind the eyes, watery eyes, coughing, itchy ears.
SO i decide that i might as well be hanged for a sheep as well a lamb and ordered a pizza.
the only problem (well besides the itchiness, coughing and inevitable hives) is that i remembered sunday is weigh day :frown: and i'm hoping there's going to be some metabolism boost from the allergic reaction.
what do you think?
PS the pizza was delicious as were the donut and wings. :smokin:

Technically it would, but it would most likely be a very very small amount. Your body expends more energy when sick trying to heal you.0

thanks all.. this was mainly a tongue in cheek post, but i also was a bit curious because if it did mean an increase, i could market the GlutenFull Diet and become a millionaire0 -
