indianrambo Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Hi, Today is the 8th day of my Whole30 program and I already got my first compliment that I am looking younger :-)) However it is also accompanied by severe skin rash and itching. Especially on the arms and neck. Maybe I am allergic to something? Or is it becasue the Whole30 diet in general is a High Histamine diet? Can someone advice if taking OTC pills like Allegra is OK duering this program? Or should I be seeing a Doc? OR just wait out for some more days and the program will make it alright?

Carlaccini Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 Sorry you are having these issues. Please understand that no one on the moderator staff are Doctors or medical professionals - so we can only advise based on what we know. Do you normally have issues with Histamines? Let's start from the very beginning - are you able to post a couple days worth of meals - please include portion sizes. It is also possible for skin issues to get worse before they get better - so that *might* be happening - but I somehow think you might be having issues with something.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted February 6, 2016 Moderators Share Posted February 6, 2016 It is not normal for anyone to develop a rash and itching. You sound sensitive to something. Maybe you are eating something new or you are eating a lot more of something you were eating less of? Figuring this out should be a priority.

indianrambo Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks Carla and Tom, I am religious vegan on Tuesdays, Thursday's and Sundays ( other days I eat everything) And I tried Tofu on a Tuesday for the first time in my life. Maybe that threw an allergy? But now it's been several days after that and the symptoms still remain. Is a visit to doctor called for? What are my non- steroid options? Or should I wait out? Please please suggest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators ladyshanny Posted February 8, 2016 Administrators Share Posted February 8, 2016 HI indianrambo, Just to reiterate what Carla said, no one here is a doctor so whether we think you should "wait it out" or should seek out medical attention doesn't matter and we cannot give out medical advice for non-steroid options. If your issue is causing you concern, please consult a medical professional. Are you doing the vegetarian Whole30? If you are doing the regular Whole30 and including meats and eggs and fish, the tofu you chose to eat on Tuesday would be non compliant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
indianrambo Posted February 9, 2016 Author Share Posted February 9, 2016 Hi ladyshanny I have to do a mix of vegan and classic Whole30. As I said before in my comments, I cannot eat meat or eggs or fish on Tuesdays, thursdays and Sundays for religious reasons. Hence I am doing vegan on these days and other days I am doing the meat, egg, fish thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ohio Chris Posted February 20, 2016 Share Posted February 20, 2016 My wife has also developed a rash on the back of her neck and wrist and in a few unmentionable places after about day 5. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angie Ohio Posted February 24, 2016 Share Posted February 24, 2016 Day 44 of Whole 30 and I've had a rash for about 9 days and it's gotten worse. Right wrist, along armpits, both sides of stomach from pits to hips, anus. Stopped coconut and eggs about 4 days ago. Treating symptoms with anti-fungal prescription cream, and calamine lotion. Can't figure out what I'm allergic to. Interesting that the rash didn't start until about day 40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
