Alixee Posted October 2, 2014 Share Posted October 2, 2014 I am hoping someone may have a suggestion. I have had mild hives infrequentiy. 4 days ago I had hives all over my body that were super itchy. It was so uncomfotable I ended up going to the Dr. He gave me a cortisone shot. I had relief for maybe 3 hours then it came back with a vengence. I ended up going to Urgent Care that same night. I still have them 4 days later. I am on day 17 of the Whole30. I have not eaten anything I haven't eaten before. Could this be my body detoxing? Any suggestions would be helpful. i am kinda at my wits end.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted October 2, 2014 Moderators Share Posted October 2, 2014 This is probably NOT a detox reaction. A likely possibility is that you are eating more of something that you ate only a little of before. More eggs? More peppers? Coconut oil? Nuts? You may have crossed a threshold of consumption that is provoking an allergic response. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alixee Posted October 3, 2014 Author Share Posted October 3, 2014 Thanks for responding. Maybe I shoud start writing down what I am eating. The only new thing I could think of was the coconut aminos. But I have not coconut cream and oil all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PuffinsMuffins Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I also got hives while in my second or third week of my Whole30. I thought it might be Whole30 related but couldn't figure out what new food I was eating. I went to both my rheumatologist and dermatologist and it turns out it was environmental. Apparently, a lot of folks with inflammation issues do break out with hives during the change of seasons. Who knew? This may not be your issue but, if you have inflammation issues, it might be worth checking that theory out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ktothev Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 I also dealt with a bout of hives recently, and was racking my brain trying to figure out what i could be eating or what other environmental factors could have triggered it. finally went to see my doctor. Dr. said he sees it quite a bit this time of year with the change of seasons. I haven't had a problem with it before, but we've had kind of a weird summer so that could explain it. A 5 day course of oral steroids along with a topical cream seems to have knocked it out of my system. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Catwhisperer Posted December 11, 2014 Share Posted December 11, 2014 I get hives whenever my skin gets very cold and starts to warm up. To combat this, I have been taking 10mg Zyrtec daily for years. Recently wanted to see what would happen if I went off the Zyrtec. Within 5 days, I had hives on any area of skin that had gotten cold. 4 Benedryl and warm pajamas, and an early night for me. Back on the Zyrtec. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Curvesclean Posted December 29, 2014 Share Posted December 29, 2014 I have been doing whole30 95% since my first one in August. I reintroduced some things along the way and only experienced stomach discomfort until the Christmas season and I have had hives for a week. No relief from steroid injection or antihistamines. Any suggestions for figuring out what might be causing this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
