Chronic hives for YEARS, Daily (Solved)

I had hives for many years, they would appear daily and were really itchy.
I have tried many things, too many to list.
The only thing that solved them was my diet! I would suggest to try carnivore diet for 90 days. I no longer have hives, it is really hard to believe but it is true.

Hopefully this will help someone out there.

  1. Hi ,
    Thanks for chiming in. I'm glad to hear this dietary adjustment has made a difference for you.
    Certain diets may be useful to try as an added treatment for chronic hives.
    For those that may want to try a diet to control your symptoms, we recommend discussing these and other options with your healthcare provider.

    1. Thank you Steve! I will try anything right now, except for strong medication.
      Are you talking about the Paleo diet? What is a carnivore diet?
      How did you come across this idea? Did it work for someone else with chronic hives?
      Thank you!

      1. ,
        Keep in mind, what works for one may not work for everyone.
        We always recommend checking in with your healthcare team before starting any new diet.
        We hope you'll keep us updated.

    2. Hi Karen,
      A little bit more about myself. I started having daily hives out of the blue when I was 19. They would appear all over my body. That was over 30 years ago...
      Back then I started researching it and doing what you are probably doing. I have done allergy tests and went to doctors and even took steroids (btw they didn't help at all) I decided not to give up and make it my life's goal to find something to stop them.
      I can now say I have found it and the answer is probably reducing inflammation in the body. I went through being a vegetarian for 2 years, nothing helped if anything it got worse. So little by little I got to a carnivore diet. It means no vegetables, no vegetable oils, no carbs. I suggest that you watch videos on YouTube and read thru 1000s of comments to see what it does. You don't have to eat that way for the rest of your life but I would suggest 90 days to see how it goes.
      Use butter/ghee/good olive oil if you must to cook your meals. I bought an air frier (best stakes I have ever made) even my friends rave about it.
      As far as costs go, you will save money because you can't eat as much...
      One important thing is to eat fatty meats. (meat, eggs, butter, salt, water)

      If you decide to do this please keep updating this post, I really want you and others to feel as good as I do. (Side effects will be lost weight, lower blood pressure, lower A1C....)

      I am not a doctor if you do your research about the diet, contact your doctor to see what he says.

      1. ,
        Thanks again for chiming in and sharing your experience.
        I'm glad to hear you are doing well and this diet is making a difference for you.
        As you mentioned, it's important for everyone to do their own research and reach out to their healthcare provider before trying any new diet or supplement.
        Stay well, Doreen (Team Member)
