Hives have almost gone
Posted , 5 users are following.
I have had hives (CIU) for almost 4 years. I think initially brought on by stress. I have been on steroids, fenofexadine and now Xolair for the past 2 years injecting myself every 7 weeks. I have been wanting to get control of this condition forever, so I started an elimination diet after reading about how it had helped others. My injection was due 5 weeks ago and I am still managing without it. I get small itchy bumps in the evening but nothing i cant cope with. I have started introducing new foods and so far so good. Ive eliminated all processed sugar and dairy/wheat though. Ive lost over a stone and feeling really positive. When i first started the diet I had severe hives but over the weeks they have gradually gone. I eat super healthy now and Im sticking with it if it means I can stay off the injections.

Hi there
when you say steriods are you on them daily? My Urticaria came back in January after taking some vitamins and my fexo isnt working so maybe i should try them .
Im waiting for my referal to come back to hopefully get Xolair but my doctor isnt very helpful and i have to look at ways to help this situation myself .
Im so glad yours has got so much better

While its possible that dietary habits can cause spots. They do not usually cause hives.

are you still off the xolair ?? i heard if you go off and try to go back on it will not help.. i have been on it for 6-7 years.. I wont go on prednisone which would be my only option if they came back.. where do you live that you can give yourself the shot.. I have to go to the hospital

That’s great! A healthy diet must be followed to complement the medications for hives. Are you resuming the injections?
