Hives Again...hormonal?

So I've had a theory i might be salicylate sensitive for a while...I had a hives reaction one time that lasted 3-4 weeks from something. I had my last period....and the hives stopped just before that started...then i had some swelling in one of my toes and a couple hives right when my period ended. I had also started eating fish and sweet potato etc. Fish supposedly high in histamine and sweet potato high in sals. Ok..so i kept eating these things and drinking coconut water etc and I've been fine for about 2 and a half weeks now. Thing is..i think i've ovulating now and i've started to get a random hive here and there. Today i had one on my upper lip..that went away and then another one formed to the left just below my mouth..that's now gone too...so far i'm not seeing anything else. I know that sals can be cumulative in the system but i was able to tolerate more than this about a month and a half ago after a long time of being off anything but low sals foods. So it seems unlikely to me that it's the salicylates..but maybe i'm wrong? The thing i'm noticing now is it seems to be when my hormones are changing possibly....The first time i got these it was just before my period. They lasted (as i said) 3-4 weeks. Ended just before my last period...had a little bit right after my period and now is right around when I ovulate. Had anyone else had anything like this before?

In retrospect (and at the time I noticed it), my hormones were all messed up at the time my DH and celiac and thyroid was at their worst.

I suggest hormone testing, saliva and blood...and cortisol testing. I suspect you need adrenal support. I'd check thyroid, too. You may need hormone supplementation - probably progesterone.

This is what i'm thinking. Can adrenal issues cause hives? I was going to do my saliva test tomorrow and send it off friday. I'm getting thyroid tested soon and i'm just a little worried....I hope it's not salicylates because honestly....i can't deal with the low salicylate diet..i tried it..it doesn't make me feel good body wise. I'm also getting checked for the mthfr gene defect with the blood test.

After all these weird symptoms after all these years...I'd say "sure, why not?".

Bottom line - off is "off". If your body is off, alls fair.

Truth. I've heard some people with food sensitivities to sals say their symptoms were better on hydrocortisone and worse when they got off so maybe it does go back to adrenals...

      Unusual bright yellow but odourless discharge

      Yes, I, too, have osteoporosis from years of malabsorption, too.  Thiamine and magnesium are what keep the calcium in place in the bones.  If one is low in magnesium, boron, selenium, zinc, copper, and other trace minerals, ones bone heath can suffer.  We need more than just calcium and Vitamin D for strong bones.  Riboflavin B 2, Folate B 9 and Pyridoxine B 6 also contribute to bone formation and strength.   Have you had your thyroid checked?  The thyroid is important to bone health as well.  The thyroid uses lots of thiamine, so a poorly functioning thyroid will affect bone heath.

      That sounds so very likely in my case! I will absolutely ask my doctor on my next bone check coming up in March... Thanks a lot!

      Calcium levels as measured in the blood can be quite deceiving as the body will rob calcium from the bones to meet demands for it by other bodily functions. Also, supplementing with calcium can be counterproductive as it tends to raise gut pH and decrease absorption. More often than not, the problem is poor absorption to begin with rather than deficiency of intake amounts in the diet. Calcium needs an acidic environment to be absorbed. This is why so many people on PPIs develop osteoporosis. The PPIs raise gut pH. And some people have high gut PH for other reasons. Low pH equates to a more acidic environment whereas high pH equates to a more basic (less acidic) environment.

      Kind thanks for all this valuable information! Since my Folate was/is low and also my Calcium, there IS a chance I am low in B vitamins... My doctor only measured the first two, oh and Zinc as I has twisted her arm and guess what, that was mega low too. So who knows, until I get myself tested properly, what else I am deficient in... I did a hair mineral test recently and it said to avoid All sources of Calcium. But this is confusing for me as my Ca is so low and I have osteoporosis because of this. It is my Adjusted Ca that is on the higher side and shouldn't be. So am not sure why the mineral test showed high Ca (well, it was medium in the test but relative to my lowish Magnesium, also via hair sample, it was high I was told). But anyway, thanks again for the VitB download, I will look into this most certainly!

      Allergy medication: cetirizine by the HealthA2Z is it gluten free?

      By ElisaAllergiesgluten · Posted

      Hello good afternoon, I was wondering if anyone has ever brought their anti-allergy pills? I have been wanting to use their Cetirizine HCI 10mg. They are called HealthA2Z and distributed by Allegiant Health.I’m also Asthmatic and these allergies are terrible for me but I also want to be sure they don’t have any sort of gluten compound.    I have tried calling them but to no avail. Has anyone ever used them? If so, did you had any problems or no problems at all?    thank you
