I, J. D. Pin number: 15863, was suffering from urticaria since last 6 months and would have hives almost daily and had to take Cetrizine (Antihistamine medications) almost daily. I would develop hives after taking food items like spinach, tomato, spices like red chilli and non veg food like eggs, chicken, meat, fishes and prawns. Fruits like oranges, grapes, pineapple, toor daal, curd and tangy foods triggered the Urticaria. My hives would get triggered before menses and with excessive sweating. It was affecting my routine life as I was not able to tolerate a lot of food items. The itching was so severe that it caused disturbance in the sleep. Within 6 months, there is about 90% of improvement in my hives, the frequency and intensity has reduced to a greater extent. Now the eruptions occur only if I eat the food items which are extra spicy, prawns and something tangy and tight clothing, other time there are no hives, only before menses, I still get it. I am able to tolerate a lot of other food items which in past caused the Urticaria. I was taking Cetrizine daily but now the dosage and the dependence has reduced with the treatment. I am still continuing the treatment but I am positive about being fully cured of the Urticaria and also being able to eat all other food items which were acting as a trigger factor in past.
