PLEASE READ THIS - I THINK I HAVE CURED MY CHRONIC IDIOPATHIC URTICARIA

I used to eat sweets everyday - cookies, chocolate, cake, etc. Doctors told me to live on Zyrtec, which works great, but I want a cure, not something to cover the symptoms. I happened upon an article about things in our diets causing inflammation. DUH!@#$ So I started an anti-inflammatory diet. After one week, I really think it is almost gone. Pacific salmon (not farm raised), oatmeal, almonds, flaxseed, walnuts, berries, sweet potatoes, green tea, and 4-8 glasses of water a day. My diet did not consist of just these items, but I ate a serving of at least 2 of these a day. What a difference! Look it up - I hope it helps.

Mary, Can you please tell us more about the anti-inflamatory diet?

Thank you,
Tatiana

I have had this skin condition for 12 years now, and have had to increase doses and take stronger types of histamines. I've been doing a " no sugar" challenge with my husband for three months now, (which feels like forever) and have also gone grain free, sweetener free, dairy free, live an active healthy lifestyle and am not over weight.and the diet change doesn't seem to have done anything. I feel like it's still steadily getting worse. Just wanted to throw that there

Have you watched Joe Cross in "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead"? He had nothing but fresh juice for 60 days, and is no longer on medications for chronic urticaria.

I was doing everything "right" to lower the inflammation in my body and my symptoms were getting worse. I am now doing a Low-Histamine elimination diet and I feel optimistic that this will solve the puzzle.

Hi Mary & Everyone here. I too am suffering from this skin thing. I am on Lisinopril for high blood pressure. Doc wants me to try changing to Bystolic instead. Afraid to make the change. I scratch my arm and long red lines appeared today and won't go away fast enough. Yesterday I had round red rashes on my inner thigh. I have a smaller rash right now on my neck. My upper back along going horizontally is itching now. Itching below stomach area also. I've had this going on for about 4 months straight now. They are either long red lines, round circles or just patches of rash. I take Zyrtec now before going to bed. It helps some. But HELP! What should I do? I do eat chocolate, drink wine, tea, mild, cheese, nuts, strawberries. Do you think eliminating these things will help? I have like one good day a week before all heck breaks loose.

Have you tried eating green vegetables and salmon? See if it helps you. I hope it helps.
