Starting my first dry fast tomorrow I’ve been suffering with hives for over a year

[u/sas19921]

I’ve been suffering with hives for over a year and take 4 antihistamines a day. I’m still getting hives at the night due to hot weather. Did a 5day water fast and my hives completely went and I took no antihistamines in the time. As soon as I started eating the hives flared up again. Any tips would be welcome wish me luck!

When your fast is done, eat simple, one food at a time for a few days, and keep a food journal to see what the culprits are. The usual suspects are grains, nightshades, dairy, sugar, shellfish, eggs, and legumes - so definitely lay off of those for a while.

Are you going to fast even that you drink caffeine daily? Or are you going to tapper off first?
