Angela Blythe Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Hi, I'm on day 2 of my first Whole30. Today has been ITCHY!! Arms, hands, ear canals, mouth, nose, and now I am getting little itchy blisters on my lips that are increasing in number with each meal. They aren't canker sores or cold sores, but more like the reaction I've had from mango skin and pineapple. Nothing I've eaten is unusual or non compliant. I'm 46, and have a history of several autoimmune issues - asthma, allergies, endometriosis, alopecia. Anyone else have this reaction? I wasn't expecting so much discomfort so early in the program.

laura_juggles Posted October 11, 2017 Share Posted October 11, 2017 Is there something that you used to eat on occasion that you've eaten frequently in the last two days? Definitely sounds like an allergic reaction to something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angela Blythe Posted October 11, 2017 Author Share Posted October 11, 2017 Bananas maybe? Or celery? So far today has been better (or at least not worse) in terms of itching. I didn't exactly jump into my Whole 30 all at once. I'd been a vegetarian then pescatarian for over 17 years, so about a month ago I started easing back into an omnivorous diet in preparation. I didn't cut out anything completely but did greatly reduce my grains, legumes, dairy, sugar, and alcohol for several weeks before Day 1. I'm hoping it's just a resurgence of symptoms that will fade away in then next few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
