Had a reaction to antibiotics 6m ago, since then have had hives on and off, mainly on over the past 3m. Saw an allergy Doc who thinks I'm reacting to salicylate ( a chemical in fruit and vegetables) he has put me on a low salicylate diet which is really horrible and boring, and which doesn't agree with my system generally, as I feel rubbish on it. However I am still coming out in hives daily. (I've been on it nearly 2 months). The doc prescribed triple dose antihistmines but I tend to react badly to meds so am only doing the diet, am wondering now if there is in fact some other trigger. Has anyone had hives go on and on like this? If so did they go away? Last night I had weals all over my back and felt horrible, had to take piriton to calm it down. I'm eating far too much sugar and fat as I can't eat many types of fruit and not having any herbs or spices is hell. I am gluten intolerant and a veggie so the diet is very hard.
