(60,148 posts)I have always had hives off and on at points in my life.
But in last 10-12 years, I would get different forms of hives from different foods, which is really weird.
If I eat more than a few bites of chocolate, for instance, my lip will puff up by next morning.
And stay that way for 12 hours, even with Benedryl.
If I eat more than one strawberry, I get hives on body.
Now, I knew about strawberry hives, so have mostly avoided them over the years, but damned if suddenly raspberries caused problems, and more than a small glass of orange juice.
My hands and feet swelled and itched within 12 hours of ingestion.
Pineapple seems ok for me. I don't eat grapefruit, but lemons are now a problem, as I found out when I made lemon tarts a few months ago.
Benedryl works fine when needed, mostly.
Oh, and milk now is a problem, in any form, more than the few teaspoons i put in my coffee, I have intestinal upsets from ice cream, yogurt, but not cheese. I think it is amount related, since one does not eat a LOT of cheese at one sitting, but a glass of milk, a cup of yogurt bothers me. There are enzymes I can take which prevent the problem symptoms, to.
