261: Chronic Hives: Why They Aren't Going Away

If chronic hives, dermatographia or angioadema have got you down – I hear ya.

They are extremely frustrating skin conditions especially when all the testing to look for an environmental trigger doesn’t yield much helpful information.

If you’re anything like my clients, you probably don’t want to be stuck on endless combos of antihistamines and feeling helpless to make this type of rash stop.

My clinical experience supporting people with these conditions has shown me that there are a lot more underlying the frustrating skin symptoms than what you’ll hear from your doctor.

I’m going to share with you how I view these conditions from a functional clinical nutrition perspective AND what first steps you can take that my clients find incredibly helpful!

In this episode:

• The main reason the hives/urticaria will not stop
• Thyroid connection to chronic hives
• Research on hives + autoimmunity
• Is your body OVER-producing histamine?!?!
• First 4 steps to get urticaria to stop

Quotes:

Histamine Overload is a situation where your body is no longer able to handle the immense amount of histamine present.

A 2019 paper noted that 25 to 30 percent of urticaria cases also had underlying Hashimoto’s along with anti-TPO antibodies.
