Ketosis urticaria Antihistamines weight loss Atkins Cambridg

Yes that's right! I post in 2013 this message 4 years ago- I being for 3 years witha low histamine diet and I recover my health and peace! Also I'm taking homeopathic remedies and I feel that I'm cure ! I'm very careful what I'm eating now! Thanks for replying.

I've been coming back to this thread for about 3 months after I broke out in hives from a ketogenic diet. I had been doing a moderate carb (less than 100g), high fat (ie. "good" fat like fish, olive oil, almonds), with plenty of veggies for over a year and had no problems. I then switched to a fattier approach by eating 4 strips of bacon every morning and about a week into it I started developing hives (urticaria to be exact) all over my body. I would sit on a couch for a few minutes and the back of my thighs would be covered in welts. At first I thought it was pet dander or dirty sheets, but after cleaning the house entirely it didn't make them go away. I had two sessions of steroid shots plus a 6-day drug called Methylprednisolone. The drugs and shots worked temporarily, but the hives came back (less aggressive after the second shot, but still prevalent). I tried all the aforementioned remedies like spurlina and eating bread or eating things to counteract the histamine imbalance, but still they would come back. Usually everyday in the evening, they would start popping up. Even in the morning, soon as I woke up they would start appearing. I thought it was environmental because I seemed to get it more at my boyfriend's place than at mine, but they wouldn't disappear entirely at my place. Anyways, long story short, turns out I may have developed a vitamin D deficiency. I do remember taking vitamin D almost everyday when I was on a moderate keto diet and entirely forgetting to take them after I started eating things like bacon and pork fat. I use a lot of sunscreen so getting enough vitamin D was important to me. I googled "urticaria vitamin" and a study on linking vitamin D deficiency and patients with urticaria came up. I took a multivitamin and a vitamin D last night, and I've had no signs of hives or itchiness all day. I hope this is helpful, as I was at my wits end and couldn't imagine living any longer with a dependency on Benadryl to get through the day. Good thing I cancelled my skin scratch test (I don't have any allergies). Beware of going to derm doctors who don't have any experience or knowledge about urticaria or low-carb diet side effects, it seems they just prescribe antihistamines and steroid shots without understanding the root problem. Good luck to those looking for solutions!

Hi there! I was reading your post and remind me my own situation! I believe that the only way to balance hives problem is through strict low histamine diet and be relax! Because stress makes the problem worse!

i don't eat fermented at all ( vinagre, alcohol,mature cheese). No red tomatoes! But I can eat green or yellow tomatoes. The problem with red tomatoes are that ripe very fast and is high histamine! No chocolate, no spinich! Look the site of the low histamine chef, Yasmin's has been doing loads of research collecting information from specialist and researchers in this issue!

I'm staying away of artificial colorant and preservatives! I eat very fresh an most clean food that I can! Left overs are full of histamine I never eat food that has been cooked for long time! When my level of histamine is low I can cheat a little bit!

I feel much better! I have peace! Blessings to all the people that are in the same situation! Rosie

I suffer with the same thing. Ever time I gym and diet I get swollen lips and tounge. I have bee to allergists and I have a lot of allergy but I avoid these foods and when I diet and eat healthy I have it and when I eat normal it goes away.. I really want to loose weight because of the steroids

Sounds like a nutricional deficiency if you don't eat the vegetables.

I also went on the keto diet and suffered from severe hives after losing 15 pounds. Never have had hives before and now I'm taking xyzal every day to keep them under control. Went off the diet and have gained 10 pounds, , but my hives seem to better. So frustrated ....any one have success with natural supplements to prevent this? Need to get this weight gain under control and be healthy doing it.

For me it was definitely the sugar substitutes. I had fat bombs made with erythitol and had hives on my feet for three to four days. Going to try something different for a sweetener from now on. Stopped the erythitol and stevia and hives are gone. Also, dehydration will also cause hives on my feet mostly and armpits. When dehydrated, I can drink a large cup of water and itching subsides in about 20 minutes. This is how I knew it was sweeteners- I was hydrated and still had hives. Hope this helps.

Thank you for sharing this information. I am suffering from Urticaria now that I am 3 weeks into a keto diet. I read elsewhere that the rash can be due to something released once in fat burning phase. Taking Spirulina and resolving the problem would make some sense. Also I have had Urticaria before which was linked to histamine production and lack of DAO enzyme which breaks down histamine naturally I supplemented with DAO to resolve the problem. Taking an antihistamine only suppressed the histamine rash but getting off the histamine caused worse itching I would never advise using antihistamines for this problem. I was on Zyrtec with the blessing of my dermatologist and the withdrawal from Zyrtec was awful because a massive amount of histamine was generated once it wasnt being suppressed. I dont think Zyrtec should be an over the counter drug.

I am going to try a detox . If that doesnt work I will try supplementing again with DAO before meals The Urticaria I have is of the type that looks and feels like midge bites - very itchy and scabs if the skin breaks. Some spots come and go in a day but most sray put for several days before fading. No large patches yet but may get 2 or 3 together. Usually in places where clothing was tight or pressing on the skin for long eg at night. So far have had no Angiodema.

I have been told I have angio edema. I got it after i was on the Optavia diet. Both Optavia and Nutri-system and many others are soy based. Every product primary ingredient ids soy. I now g gf ave a soy allergy which presents as angio adema. Many names for soy and almost all processed foods have soy. Soy is cheap, that’s all they care about.
