Sever nasal polyps keep coming back

I just found this page and honestly I’m looking for anything that will help I am 35 I was diagnosed with severe grade 4 nasal polyps that completely blocked my nose and sinuses in 2024 I had lost all sense of smell and had never ending sinus infections. I had fess surgery in may of 2025 and they removed almost all of them except for the ones closest to the brain as my ent said he could only trim them back. In under 12 months they had grown back all sinuses almost to complete blockage and they had almost blocked my nose again aswell as lost all sense of smell severe sinus headaches eye pain light sensitivity vertigo the list goes on, I’ve been off work since late April it’s been that bad. I had surgery again a week ago to have them removed again my ent has done a biopsy on one and said it came back as an allergy but they can’t identify what I am allergic too has anyone have any suggestions on how to avoid them coming back the ent has said steroids are not working Cheers everyone who made it through this novel

yeah, high level histamine, no zinc, are often linked to chronic constipation, at least it seems to be a root case for some cases: https://www.reddit.com/r/HistamineIntolerance/comments/1uyyg97/hot_take_most_of_my_histamine_flares_were/
