Since beginning to eat Peat style in Jan, I've gradually developed an allergy problem to the point where my nose is now blocked most of the time and I have to breathe through my mouth. I sniffle and sneeze a lot in the morning and if I have to go anywhere during the day that is not well ventilated, it lasts all day long. For some reason I breathe pretty ok when outdoors though.
I've tried taking all kinds of antihistamines but none of them have any effect on the allergies... in fact Benadryl doesn't even make me sleepy anymore. (It used to but now I can take 2 at a time and feel nothing at all.)
I thought this allergy problem was due to the histamines I was getting from eating so much dairy, which I had previously avoided for years. So I stopped eating cheese and ice cream and switched to miniscule amounts of goat milk in my coffee.. but no change yet, I'm still suffering.
If the antihistamines don't work then is my problem really histamines? Is there something else that could be causing my allergies?
My typical diet is:
-coffee w/honey, gelatin & a tiny bit of goat milk, eggs, mango or grapes
-eggs, tomatoes, oj, grapes, coffee
-carrot salad once or twice a day with refined coconut oil & white vinegar
-shrimp or fish, rice or potato, oj, dark chocolate, fruit
-liver/oysters every 1-2 weeks
-supplements are thyroid, progest-E, Great Lakes gelatin, aspirin, Nutrisorb A, Thorne vit K
**I know it's not the ideal diet anymore on the protein side but without the dairy it's hard for me to get enough now
Suggestions for what I should start/stop doing would be much appreciated. thank you
