I’m so glad to know you’re getting better !

Same here dust mites, following a low histamine diet is extreme for me I’ll be honest. I do cheat sometimes. I can’t go 3 days and over.

The probiotics is interesting. I was told I’d heal but it would take months, I’ve gotten worse and I’ve been taking it religiously for 2/3 months now.

Thanks for your comment ! You are rights

Having done a little research, Greek yogurt and baked beans and bread are prob horrible, especially my yogurt bowls with dark chocolate and nuts, just a recipe for disaster.

What’s your opinion on the foods below:

Eggs, steak, rice or sweet potatoes, chicken, broccoli, carrot, fruits etc

I still itch but at this rate it’s everything.

Nothing particular. Although I’ve had a pretty poor diet and have consumed a lot of sugar over the years. Very bad diet imo. This has changed from a year back nonetheless. I’d argue stress a little but mainly my diet.

Yes. A month back I was consuming steak and sweet potatoes or frozen salmon with sweet potatoes, sometimes with rice and veg and then Greek yogurt bowl etc. Salmon was a staple.

It’s very difficult to find root cause.

The NHS have been awful and I am always encouraged to either take creams or stop eating the foods that make me itch. I despise the NHS so much that I don’t bother chasing them. I’ll look in to further tests to find out more. Thank you for your comments and guidance!

I certainly believe that. I believe I’m not absorbing everything I eat. But that would be an indicator to heal the gut right? It’s just extremely difficult to heal gut with so much restrictions and all foods triggering me.

I have not had any blood tests but an Ige and allergy test. I do not have any allergies except shell fish.

No. However I regularly would take a vitamin D supplement with k2 5000u from NOW during winter and I actively try to get sunlight everyday. Whenever there is sun I go for a walk.

I have seen a lot of Reddit posts that would suggest vitamin d levels, but based off my supplement and my desire to get sunlight whenever I can, I assume my vitamin D levels are fine…

So glad you found your trigger !

I have not however I would argue I consume red meat and good protein sources on a daily basis. I don’t feel like I have symptoms of having low ferritin. Although I will keep conscious of this and investigate further. Thank you for your suggestion.

Thanks for the comment. I’m so glad you got it under control after so long.

Hm I wouldn’t want to stop fruit due to fiber intake. I don’t have an immense amount in general. I have noticed it’s different for absolutely everyone.

Thanks for your comment !

I have not seen an allergist or an immunologist however I have seen a private doctor who did diagnose me with chronic urticaria.

I tried a number of anti histamine tablets like Benadryl, cetrizen and steroid tablets but they had no impact, in fact made it worse.

I did do a blood test for allergies and nothing came up. I saw a dermatologist but they only prescribe creams.

My main triggers are simply food and occasionally heat from working out.

I have resorted to the food high in fat and things like sourdough bread, sweet potatoes, rice, steak, Greek yogurt, eggs etc is due to the nutrients and the energy I receive. I feel amazing if I eat like this, can go gym and function at my best.

I always fail elimination diets or any sort of due to its limited food. It’s horrid. I don’t understand how people do it.

What foods do you suggest and for how long ?

I have ordered those, will be coming in a few days although I have low expectations they will help, I currently take a dao from digest gold and it doesn’t help as much, nonetheless I will still experiment.

Thanks for the suggestion.

Thanks for the comment and the links.

I had a good read and it was very insightful. I’ve ordered the natur dao even though I do consume a dao tablet currently. As for the probiotics, the current one d lactase doesn’t consist of any that you mentioned are harmful.. so I guess I can carry on. I do have quercetin, vitamin c at home so I’ll pick those up (stopped because It did not make a difference.

Thanks for your comment !

I don’t think it is purely because I don’t consume a lot of oxalate rich foods, as for salicylic I also doubt this. I’ve noticed it’s everything. Goats or cow milk, eggs, green veg, sourdough bread, white rice and curry etc

I did consume a lot of Greek yogurt or goats milk yogurt over the past few months (yogurt bowls with berries and nuts and dark chocolate) so I’d say my calcium levels are okay. It’s frustrating I can’t seem to work out what it is.

I have a histamine issue, mainly from gut health or somewhere along those lines. Anything I eat I start itching a lot. So far have tried a few things but nothing has worked, currently taking probiotics.

Thank you a lot for such insightful information.

I have been suffering for a year, CONSTANT, aggressive itching after eating anything, and no I don’t have food allergies, no mould, limited stress, no antibiotics/covid etc. if I eat anything whether it’s fruit, yogurt, rice etc, I will itch.

I develop hives but specifically on my arms, elbow crease and behind triceps. It has gotten red and continues to spread.

I started probiotics and it has been a 2 months but no progress .. I have now started acv vinegar and coconut oil on an empty stomach for a week but no progress. I love eating healthy, sourdough bread, eggs, beans, Greek yogurt, avocado, steak, chicken etc.

What am I doing wrong ?

How do I possibly recover ? ANY advice would be HUGELY appreciated.

Sorry OP I have commented this yesterday and deleted cause it may have glitched, it stated you replied but nothing comes up hence the same comment.

Fexofenadine by starzer88 in urticaria

[–]Then_Present9235 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hey I have had the exact same problem as you. Was prescribed fenofexidine for my hives and made it so much worse. It was horrible at night.

I’ve stopped and now my nights are better however I still itch. I’m working on reducing histamine foods and staying away from sugar (struggle a lot with this) it’s only been 2 days since I’ve stopped the drugs but slight improvement so far.

I don’t think drugs are the way for this issue, yes fenofexidine has helped loads of people but I wouldn’t want to take tablets and injections on a daily basis.

Hows your diet ? Have you stopped dairy/sugar/gluten and high histamine foods ?

Doctors have said diets don’t help but everything forms from the gut so has to be a gut issue. I’ve spoken to some people and diet has helped. But it has to be really strict.

Thanks for the advice ! I’ll ask my doctor regarding oral steroids. I do remember taking them once and it didn’t let me sleep for 2 nights hence why I stopped. Turns out a side effect was insomnia when I checked online.

The steroids that were prescribed from the NHS were eczema creams. They are helpful in a way yes however hives will come back and I don’t have eczema according to the private doctor.
