Hi, I am a 42 year old female with asthma, GERD, and severe food allergies. Three years ago, I broke out in severe hives all over my body. The chronic hives continued and would progress with areas of edema and trouble breathing and swallowing. Since then, I have eliminated all foods but 8. I have lost 28 pounds, have low iron and vitamin D. I weight 115lbs. Further testing cannot be done because I cannot go off of the antihistamines? Because of the food elimination, I now only take one to two 60mg Allegra per day and have only a small few hives a day. Hardly noticeable, but still itchy. One allergist suggested I have Eosinophilic Esophagitis and gave me a QVAR sample. A different allergist said I may have Mastocytosis and only ordered that ONE test. I was given baby formula by one clinic and other elemental diet "drinks", but still get hives from those. I don't get the hives if I don't eat/drink the foods. The OBSTACLE is getting the EE diagnosis thru endoscopy. I am allergic to something in the IV! I had an anaphylactic reaction right after the IV was started! I also need my gall bladder taken out, but the surgeon said I am at such high risk of anesthesia complications that he is afraid of ME? Is there any hope or help for ME? I am raising young children and I cannot work due to low energy. i have NO insurance. Your best advice?
