Wow! That's quite a list. In the past have you reacted to any of the forbidden "tech" ingredients? i.e., AS, soy oil, corn products, wheat,??? The cleaner your system the worse your reaction will be to the offending foods. This would be easier had you eaten only one offending food. Yes, I've had the itches, w/o the hives, after eating an offending food and had a tough time sleeping. I got up and took a long soaking bath and drank a quart of water. Your best defense is to take your own food or stick with cold drinks. Oliva P.S. Not paleo but benedryl would have taken care of those hives. Probably 25 mg. although 50 wouldn't hurt. ----- Original Message ----- [log in to unmask] Last night my husband and I were invited to a barbecue About 3 hours later I broke > out in huge hives all over, intensely itchy and awful.
