Antihistamine Drugs

Hi. I've just finished day 3 of my whole30. Doing ok and sticking to it. I am waiting on allergy test results at the moment as I've had to take antihistamines for the past 7 months due to a reaction to my skin- itchy lumps that burst. Possibly dairy or/and coeliac the docs say ????? I am hoping doing the whole30 will help this. I stopped taking my antihistamine drugs on day 1. I've survived til now but I am a bit itchy. Hopefully the itchiness will subside over the 30 days at least that's what I'm holding out for. If things get worse can I take my antihistamines without ruining my whole30 plan.

Any advice would be appreciated

Yes, you can take antihistamines. There may be some consequences. I hear that antihistamines can reduce stomach acid which can make digestion more difficult. Not everyone will have a problem, but it is something to be aware of. 

 

I don't encourage people to jump into a specialized Whole30, but you may want to look at the low histamine approach to eating. There is some basic info at http://whole9life.com/2013/06/expanded-iswf-shopping-lists/ and the specialized shopping list is here: http://whole30.com/downloads/whole30-shopping-list-histamine.pdf

 

It wouldn't hurt to emphasize the safe foods and avoid the high-histamine foods from the shopping list to the extent you can.
