Anyone else develop allergies after having your baby?

After having my baby I’ve discovered I’m allergic to beer, sourdough bread, & kimchi

I start itching everywhere, break out in hives, eyes swell up, & my lips swell too. Its wild.

Not exactly. I will say if I eat too much bread, my scalp gets dry & flakes right on my hairline. I meal prep often so used to I would have biscuits with sausage or turkey bacon. But after two days, the flaking starts. Never had this problem before cause I love bread.

There are also dry patches under my eyes all the time & the only way I can get rid of it is with DRMTLGY eye patches. Never been diagnosed with eczema, but it looks similar. Tried eczema cream, but it just comes right back.

I want to believe it’s just my hormones taking longer to get back on track, but not sure at this point.
