Is there food that I should avoid if I have nickel allergy?

Could someone help me figure out what supplements I can take?
I take a whole bunch thinking it would help my hives but I now know I have a nickel allergy that could be causing my hives. The ones I really don’t want to go without are
1. Probiotics
2. Fish oil or Krill oil
3. Vitamin d3
These are 3 but I take probably 20 or more a day currently.
Thanks, Elizabeth

Just recently found out about metal drinking cups and metal straws. My tongue kept getting raw. I was taking amoxicillin, so I thought it was that, but still after being through with the meds for a week, my tongue was still so raw! My digestive issues were horrendous. Started to take my Nexium again and I thought about how the metal straws made my throat sore a few months back. So I stopped drinking from my Yeti cup and within hours my tongue started feeling better! I now use a glass or plastic drinking cup and I feel so much better. Thank you for your comment about foods though. I never thought or have I ever been informed about nickel content in foods. I am going to try to avoid some of these for awhile and see how it goes. I may never have to take a Nexium again!

I have been steadily reading the lists of things to avoid much like my own after being diagnosed with contact dermatitis. I was never aware that I was allergic to much growing up with the exception of some fruits and costume jewelry. Now it seems I am allergic to everything. I understand now what to avoid, what I am looking for is information telling me What I CAN eat and drink please. I am tired of my refrigerator having only milk and water.

I would very much like your translated version. I never knew why I was always breaking out until I just recently did the patch test. I’m very allergic to Nickel in food. Thank you so much hon!

Contact an integrative medicine doctor. They will help. They have helped me and my family and friends with all types of metal sensitivities , some life threatening. Only a few visits, no chemicals, no pain.

It's not that hard. I just ate meat and dairy for two months. I always felt like I had motion sickness, and my low nickel diet got rid of it. I also have celiac and get neuropathy if I eat gluten, so the diet works well. Unfortunately, it turns out I'm also sensitive to tyramine. I had to give up all aged foods to get rid of headaches: no aged cheeses including cheddar, dried meats, or wine. After two months, I added in apples, celery, cucumbers, strawberries, and blueberries in moderation. Sometimes cherries.

The payoff of not feeling like I have chronic fatigue or fibromyalgia is well worth it.

I started drinking more Coffee and eating more chocolate and things became so much worse for me, that is how i discovered that there is nickel in food. My allergy is confirmed by my allergist. It’s so difficult to avoid nickel

Hi – I’ve created this account to publish my experience with Pompholyx also known as dyshidrotic eczema or hand eczema which has the symptoms of small itchy fluid filled blisters on your hands (and sometimes feet). I’ve had it on my hands since I was in junior high school on occasion (I’m nearly 60 years old now) and it always went away after a short time. Forward 40 years… my pompholox got worse, staying longer and worse breakouts. Every morning a new set of blisters. Every evening my hands throbbing and burning. I had zero eczema problems on any other part of my body. The past year (save the last two weeks) was pure hell. I canceled my vacations to warm places because my hands were so bad. I also play guitar and had upped my practice time to over an hour a day the past couple of years (steel guitar strings are nickel coated – play with cotton gloves to see how much sloughs off the strings). My fingers didn’t get “contact dermatitis” from playing so I had no connection to nickel being a problem for me. I am going to now experiment to see if nickel from guitar strings causes blisters on my hands through absorption through the skin.

I’ve been down the road of doctors, dermatologists, elimination diets, leaky gut diet, candida diet, anti-fungal course of medication, and thank goodness after a year of horrible “hamburger hands”, the problem turned out to be too much NICKEL in my diet! Not an allergy, just too much nickel.

I was eating a rather healthy diet to address what I thought was a candida overgrowth - Nuts, sunflower seeds, green peas, avocados, whole grains, brown rice, spinach, beans, leeks, green leafy vegetables, bean sprouts, dark chocolate,… the problem? All of these have HIGH NICKEL content.

The biggest clue came when I noticed that the backs of my hands began to develop the blisters after wearing cotton gloves (my hands were really bad) and using a favorite cocoa butter formula cream on my hands several times a day covering it with gloves – it contained cocoa extract, cocoa seed oil, and sunflower seed oil (all high in nickel!). The red bumpy rash ended at my wrists. The last 3 weeks I did notice the red bumpy rash migrating to my forearms where I began to have small red itchy patches as well, but those have also subsided.

I stopped eating all the high nickel content foods and after a week and a half, I’ve had three days with no new blisters! My hands are nearly back to normal.

The human body is very complex. It could be any number of things that (my theory) the body tries to eliminate through the hands . Why the hands? Never had a problem anywhere else on my body.

Try a Low Nickel Diet! There are a few resources out there that explain it well, as a short summary:

Nickel is accumulated in the husks or shells of seeds and nuts. e.g. Wheat when “polished” loses most of the nickel content. White flour is okay, whole wheat flower is not. Peeling root vegetables significantly reduces nickel content...

Search the Internet for “nickel allergy sensitivity” to get a (surprising) list of high nickel foods and try avoiding those or minimizing them. It’s working for me!

I have been diagnosed with contact nickel/cobalt allergy in 1990 by an epicutaneous test at the hospital. Does anyone know if there are specific tests to test for Nickel/Cobalt allergy in food?
