What worked for me...

Have had Delayed Pressure Urticaria, DPU, for 7 years. White male, 60 years old. Active surfer before DPU.

A couple years ago I started using montelukast, 10mg daily. Montelukast helped make life tolerable. I learned to always sit on a cushion and not do anything that involved either hard pressure on any flesh or long pressure on any flesh. Montelukast did not remove all symptoms but reduced the occurrence of major swelling. I still had 10-40 small hives occurring daily. My hands itched badly all day. During sleep I scratched all hives and my hands until the skin was broken. It was similar to having dozens of mosquito bites that had been scratched to bleeding, then scabbed over, then scratched to bleeding again. This pattern of repeatedly scratching the same spots left many small scars. Extreme fatigue was a major component of my DPU. A trip to the grocery wore me out and required a couple hours on the couch to recover. Many days I spent 15 hours laying down (including nighttime).

3 months ago I started receiving monthly shots of Xolair. From the first day my symptoms completely disappeared. No hives, no itching, no fatigue. No recurrence in 3 months. I stopped taking montelukast after the second dose - now 2 months ago.

Hi
Me too as many of you told myself if i found something that treated my chronic urticaria/ hives then i would share that info.

First just a bit of background on my condition. Started getting a breakout of hives since March last year and progressively got worse after a few weeks to the point where it would come on everyday for at least a few hours if not for most of the day. I think the trigger was the washing powder i started using, Unfortunately i realized it too late (i just moved houses so a lot of factors changed- it was hard to guess what was the reason)

Was waking up every day with hives and face or body swelling and they were fading away during a day. At first.
But with time it got worse.
Doctors gave me Prednisone and antihistamines. The first one worked but had terrible side affects. Compromised my gut totally as now i understand.
After that for about 4 months i was trusting doctors and trying to heal with their pills. Did not help. In addition i have developed multiple chemical and food sensitivities to the point that i could not eat almost anything.

I was keep looking and researching online anything I could find about it.
I realised that i probably have leaky gut and histamine intolerance. Stopped eating histamine reach foo. Helped a bit but not cured.
Started taking multiple supplements and Vitamins. What helped: Vit C, D, Magnesium, Ashwagandha, DAO supplement, Probiotic(histamine degrading ones only),L-glutamin, L-Lysine, Zinc, B12.(all higher dosage than recommended).I different diets : tried keto (got worse), AIP (a bit better), water fasting 10 days and juice fasting 2 weeks and many more.
You can research yourself about that it is not why i am here today smile

My true HEALING came from CELERY JUICE.

I know..hard to believe smile)

Every morning I start with a large glass of Celery Juice
.
I used to take pills twice a day (antihistamine 1block*2 2 block*2 and Montelukast*1 )

In 1 week I was able to skip my morning pills, after 3 weeks was taking them 1 time in 2-3 days, after a month - no pills at all!! with no symptoms, no hives or angeodema!!!

Eating very clean though - no sugar no gluten no eggs no dairy no soya no pork.
Please check out Anthony William (Medical Medium) books and online/soundcloud/YouTube for full list of recommendations.

I was sick for 8 months and almost cured in 1 month without any pills!!
. I am still in my 2 month of taking celery juice as i want to make sure i am fully recovered .
I feel much better and I can eat almost anything with no flare ups smile

Hope you'll get the same results as I did with this. And do let me know how it goes smile

Hi All
40 year old male here, suffering with hives for 2 years. Pretty much healthy before outbreaks, no fast food or cigarettes etc. However, I did have food allergies I was diagnosed with years earlier, as I was experiencing migraines. Like a fool I decided to ignore the food changes so when I went to my holistic doctor and was blood tested my Ige and igG were off the chain for dairy, wheat, corn and soy. I then switched up my diet last year, Trifecta nutrition helped with preparing allergy free food. The hives were still there but def got better as I switched my diet and added supplements Vitamin D, B3 , probiotic (non histamine) , Magnesium and quercetin. What I noticed is when I took oregano it would help very much. I then put two to two together with the help of this forum and figured I had some sort of bacterial infection. BOOM, my last trip to dentist my dentist said my gums were sore from inflammation from a bridge a had put in years ago. I went straight to bathroom and cleaned the hell out of the bridge and the gum area. In a few hours 80% of my hives disappeared. Still get three or four a day, but def better than all over. Just my story hope it helps.
