You are describing an allergic reaction not an intolerance with the runny nose, watery eyes etc. My advice it to wait 3 or 4 days and then try the alpen again just like this morning. If you get the same reaction, you should look at the ingredients, wait another few days and eat something with just one of the main ingredients in it and keep doing it until you find out which one you are reacting to.
Good luck being food detective.
Alpen has loads of stuff in it. You could be reacting to any of them. Could you narrow it down by keeping a diary of such 'episodes' and noting what you've eaten. That would give you a better picture
Wheat intolerance doesn't usually cause these symptoms. Have a look at any other triggers you may have exposed yourself to. Check out Wheat-free on the internet. They usually give symptoms of wheat intolerance.
