Hives And Chronic Constipation?

went to the derm today and he said my 'hives' are not DH. he thinks i have chronic urticaria. i think he's an a**. i explained that i believe that wheat causes me to break out and he said i could have an allergy, not necessarily have celiac. i only get hives 'everywhere' (literally) from the waist down. they look like huge mosquito bites and then fade into small, red bumps. when i have a 'flare up' they burn and itch uncontrollably.

i refuse to take zyrtec my whole life!

does anyone have just a wheat allergy? what are your symptoms?

I have the same problem! Every time I eat anything containing wheat or touch wheat or walk into a bakery I breakout into hives and get massive stomach problems. I took myself off of wheat for 2 years. I finally got great insurance and got allergy tested. I do not have a wheat allergy. My allergist told me I had "very sensitive skin" and no allergies. She also did a blood test for celiac... even though I told her I hadn't eaten gluten for 2 years. Since the test was negative, according to her I am just a "very allergic person" but she told me to go ahead and eat gluten. I do not think she is very educated.

I would go ahead and get tested for food allergies. At least you would know for sure.

Ive had the hive problem for 9 years both wheat and dairy. If I stay away from both (which is very hard to do since those are the 2 main ingredients in most everything)...I am fine as long as Im far from the two. Only I break out on my face which is very annoying and the only topical solution which is not a cure all I use 2.5% hydro-cortisone I apply it at night and it usually stops the weeping from the hives....I break out in spots like 2 to 3 at a time but it looks as though Ive been shot in the face by a shotgun. Most of the time its accidental intake of one or the other. If it is in a large dose I break out in a rash on my forearms and inner thighs which does not weep but itches like there is no tomorrow and wont stop for days on end it seems. The cure for that is foot spray which soothes the itching. Other than that since I have no insurance I try to watch what I eat and touch.

It doesn't specifically have to be an allergy to cause hives. Food intolerances (apart from food allergies) can cause all sorts of dermatological symptoms. Gluten makes my face break out.

      She used to take supplements, but her abdominal pain is so debilitating that she hasn't been able to continue.  Her primary care team has been suggesting liquid supplements rather than pill form to help.  They just drew a lot of blood Friday and we are slowly getting all that work back.  I will definitely check into thiamine!  Thanks!

      They have not done that yet.   We are looking at some other treatments to help. And you are correct.  The tickborne illness has been a wild ride.  Our whole family has been battling different tickborne illnesses.  Its expensive and exhausting.

      I cannot tolerate it at all - triggers burning and nausea, ditto aspirin.  Here in the UK I take Paracetamol.

      For back pain, I take a combination of Cobalamine B12, Pyridoxine B 6, and Thiamine B 1 (in the form Benfotiamine), which have an analgesic effect.  These three B vitamins together work way better than those over the counter pain relievers.  Theses are water soluble B vitamins that are easily excreted via the kidneys if not needed.  Thiamine will also help the nausea.
