This is the list that my doctor gave me when I was diagnosed.

Also, I found that the best place to get belts is from REI. They have some that have a plastic buckle instead of a metal one, which has extremely decreased the rashes on my stomach.

I can't believe no one has mention it before, smoking cigarettes is a major cause of being over exposed to nickel. Cutting back on certain foods, like chocolate, and touching silverware and drinking tap water on a regular basis can cause to outbreaks that are happening. Everyone needs to examine their eating habits, contact with metals, and cigarettes smoking, and don't forget atmosphere during the changing of the seasons from spring to summer, when the ground starts to heat up. This causes a lot of nickel from the soil to be released into the air, and we breath this in. Especially around chemical plants and high industrial areas. One more reminder, major nickel content in tap waters, avoid like the plague, and drink filtered bottled water...

Thank you for your post - I have just discovered I have this allergy and am suffering with terrible dyshidrotic eczema on my hands. I have always controlled symptoms with steroid creams but we are trying to have a baby and they are not safe during pregnancy, so I am trying to get to the root cause of the issue and find safer ways to manage my symptoms.

Unfortunately, I couldn't open either link - is it possible for you to repost with a translated version?

Thanks again!

That is so weird, my list does not contain broccoli or corn or mushrooms.
Do you know where your study came from? I would like to get more information. I have had this food allergy for several years but still get hives and a swollen tummy when I eat.

my list contains coffee and chocolate, and stakes that beer will make a reaction worse if you eat something. This is the same for red wine. very interesting that everyone has such different lists.

I followed the diet and nothing changed. Got a second opinion from a dr in the city, she has me watching for sodium/potassium metabisulfite, now i notice the difference. just saying if the nickle diet doesn't make a difference get a second opinion.
good luck everyone.

If you are allergic to nickel in any form (food, jewelry, etc.), be aware if you have to have any joint replacements such as knee, hip, shoulder. The normal replacements are made of stainless steel which has nickel in it. I have had both knee replacement and also shoulder. After being tested for nickel allergy, I decided to have titanium, oxynium replacements which have caused no problems at all.

Hello everybody,  I have been allergic to nickel for years and also to lassix.  so can only use hypoallergenic band aids.  As far as I know, I only have rashes where nickel touches.  But I have psoriatic arthritis.  So was wondering if that could be a symtom of eating foods with nickel?  Does anyone have similiar symtons or any other symtons besides skin rashes?  My whole family seems to be allergic to nickel and its only from contact. But they have other problems at times, like panic disorder.
