Has anyone’s hives gotten increasingly worse when going gluten free/dairy free/sugar free?

It’s strange to think that doing something healthier for my body would result in worse symptoms.

Has anyone’s hives gotten increasingly worse when going gluten free/dairy free/sugar free?
I was in remission (zero hives, no medications) for 2.5 years, and the last June they started coming back. For a while I would just wake up with them on my back or legs and they’d go away through out the day. September 18 I started GF/DF/SF and the hives are now AWFUL huge welts almost all day long the worst time is usually around 7-9 pm.

If I take Allegra I’m hive free for 24 hours but try to only take it on days I have to work because I don’t want to build a tolerance to it

If you have a problem with histamine, that could be the culprit. Unfortunately, many healthy foods, fruits and vegetables are high in histamine, or histamine liberators.

When I tried the Joe diet ( The guy who juiced organic vegetables and cured his hives ) mine were 100 times worse .

Michelle Pitts Caldwell it was terrible you juiced them in the expensive Joe juiced. Beets were the worst and probably worse for hives!

Michelle Pitts Caldwell
Sharon Kiser Gillespie Yep!

Did you substitute anything when you went GF? I react to histamine, Salysilcate & Oxalates when my histamine bucket is full. I found that out on a mostly plant based AIP diet. Also Allegra never ever worked for me. I’d look to dietary or environmental changes around your flare up. Also you may find this website helpful.

I apologize to the group if I’m being a broken record about vitamin D. It is involved in immune function and dairy is a significant source of vitamin D. It might be worth getting your vitamin D status checked to see if supplements may warranted.

Samantha Christine How on earth can that happen? Drs don’t check squat! But I bought my own tonight.

Vitamin D supplements for CIU is controversial and medical professionals can’t outright recommend it. My MD only checked my status because i inquired.
