A member asked:
If diet is going to have any affect on hives related to chronic autoimmune uticaria, when might i likely notice a difference?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diet Not Cause: Chronic idiopathic or spontaneous urticaria (hives) is not due to any medication or food triggers. Adopting a diet free of pseudoallergens is an alternative approach to managing chronic spontaneous urticaria. A pseudoallergen-free diet is not supported by most physicians, however, if you are very motivated to try this diet, some find it helpful. It is a tough diet to follow so good luck!
