Allergy Symptoms and Food Sensitivities

hi! I've been experiencing allergies much worse this week, along with a pounding heart (not usually fast though), waking up too early and falling back asleep after maybe an hour and then feeling fatigue for a long time. These are all on the list to watch for with reintroducing foods on the elimination diet I'm doing. I have a lot of food sensitivities and I did try to reintroduce almonds the day before this all started. I also was outside more than normal that day, though. If it's just from being outside, I wouldn't have these other problems, would I? I'm also wondering if it could be a sensitivity to histamine foods; anyone have that? thanks!

I know in Boston the pollen counts have been crazy. Even the rain we have had hasn't washed it away. I have oral mouth syndrome. I can't eat peaches, plums, cherries or it seams like stone fruits definitely make me have the itchy mouth, lips and asthma acts up. I usually take my allergy medicine before eating these type fruits and usually ok. If they are canned or cooked never a problem. I hope I explained my allergies enough to understand

Hello, I have delt with allergies for many years. My first question is what are you taking to help your allergies? Also are you on any meds can have a side effect of a racing or fast beating heart? If you spent more time outside recently you will most likely have more allergy symptoms! Are you keeping a chart with symptoms for reintroducing foods back into your diet ? Chicken is a high histamine food. If you google high histamine foods... you should stay away from those. You seem to have many factors here operating at once!

I know, it's so confusing! Yes, I'm keeping records of foods and symptoms daily. I am on levothyroxine but this has never happened to me (pounding). I'll tell my doctor.

Yes there are many foods that create histamine in your body... are you on an anti-histamine for your allergies ?

I have RA so I am always figuring out foods that make me feel good or not so much. That is why I eat chicken. Red meat makes me feel ill.

rheumatoid arthritis is RA? You might want do have a food allergy test done! Sometimes people can have issues with foods they eat often! What is your biggest issue currently?
