Take locally grown honey from your area so u can strengthen your amune system. I did 4yrs of allergy shots, it's the same treatment except your not paying, I wish I would have known then, Bc I was diagnosed with chronic urticaria, not cured but controlled;-) also ginger tea green tea. No fragances, Period. No chemicals. No fumes. Get an air purifier

Vitamin C from sago palm is the only vitamin C I can take. Twin Labs used to make their sago palm Allergy C but stopped making it. Now I find my sago palm vitamin C from Pinnacle Labs. Call rather then ordering online for better shipping rates.

I have problems with citric acid, but I am also fructose intolerant. Sounds like you may be as well?

I had a vitamin c facial in my early 20's and had all red rashes on my face that night. So I stayed away from any vitamin c on my face since then. I recently started to use Boscia luminizing black charcoal mask, I didn't realize it had vitamin c in it. I have used it 2 days in a row with no issues, but I used smash box primer that had vitamin c in it for a week and ended up with acne under my nose.
This is why I'm confused, should I stay away from vitamin c or keep using the mask?

I have know I can't take vitamin C for the past 40 years but only in the past few years have found any other references to this condition. Medical doctors have always looked at me like I was crazy but I get severe congestion headaches with vitamin c tablets, oranges or any other food source that has a lot of vit C.

Anyone has gotten plenty of rashes in skin after sun exposure?
One to three day after i receive sun, it gets pretty ugly.
I just suspected it was the vit c. I have been taken 500-1000mg for 30 years.
Stopped taking the vit 15 days ago and watching to see if the symptoms fade

I have been placed in the same exact situation as you. About 2 years ago I was taking vitamin C supplements every day in the winter and then weaning off over the summer so as not to catch a cold during the winter months. Then 2 years ago I noticed that the muscles I fatigued most like my feet from snowboarding would turn rock hard and swell up. I stopped taking the supplwnts and it stopped happening but over time my allergy to vitamin C has continued to get worse. At first i couldn't drink glasses of OJ and now I'm to the point that even eating broccoli or anything with vitamin C in it will give me a rash or make muscles in mainly but not only my feet, hands, arms legs. Allergen specialists, doctors all have been clueless to diagnose it or tell me anything about it never mind if I will be ok not taking vitamin C ever again. If you have found answers I would love to hear them.

Yes I am convinced I have become allergic to vitamin C. While the cold sores don't seem to be much of an issue my feet and hands will turn rock hard and swell up a day or two after ingesting vitamin C. It has gotten worse over time and is no longer in just my feet and hands. It seems to effect the muscles that I fatigue the most.

Vitamin c allergy is real. I get a lower reaction from potatoes and sweet potatoes, but everything else from fruits and veggies, gives me nasal congestion and respiratory distress. I have tried everything. Only complete avoidance of any natural or synthetic vitamin c gives me normal breathing back

Hi I know you wrote ages ago but I also have a vit C allergy which runs in my family. Chelsea Hospital in London did research into this and found it is probably the 2nd most common allergy. Because in most people it just produces sneezing and sore throats it goes unnoticed. They, and I can confirm, if you realise you had some an aspirin taken immediately can fend off the worst of it.

Over two years Inhabe witnessed that ifbIntake too much orange or other citrus juices the second finger on my left hand breaks out in a rash which no cortesone will fix.
Stop the citrus and it disappears in three days! No doctor read it correctly!

You might have iron deficiency. Try some iron supplement or add more red meat in your diet
