Food allergy question

[Crankin]

I've had enough weird allergic reactions to say anything is possible. No doctor will confirm it, and it's often subtle, so I either avoid things or take a Clartin.
This happens more when I'm in a "reactive" state, as in now. I had an allergy based sinus infection, which just puts my whole body on high alert. I could sneeze, get hives, headache. Eventually, it stops and I go back to normal.

Remember that your total allergic load will increase your reactivity to everything. Weed pollens have been through the roof lately, with an occasional rain for relief. I don't typically get sneezing from foods themselves - though I do get massively congested, more so from foods than from inhalants. But if I eat something I'm allergic to when the pollen is high, that will definitely get me to sneezing.

I get sneezy/congested and my eyes get really itchy when I drink some kinds of beer. I don't know if it's the yeast, the type of hops, or something else entirely (it seems to happen more frequently with IPAs, but only some of them). If I've been taking allergra it isn't so bad.

My allergies (seasonal, not food) have all but disappeared since I started taking quercetin. It's a supplement available at health food stores. It has anti-inflammatory properties, and allergies have been tied to the body's inflammatory response in the literature I've read. Perhaps that's something that will help your allergies.

I want that!
I think taking Claritin made my tachycardia worse, so now I'm just congested.
