I suffered from pollen allergy for all of my life. This year, still no sign
of it. It might be the paleo diet, a homeopatic cure I've started in
february or the fact that this has been a quite cold spring and pollination
might be late this year. I can't tell. All I know is that for the first time
ever I could mow the grass around my house without taking antihistamines...
no sneezing at all, no skin rash...

Oggetto: [PALEOFOOD] allergy and paleo diet

I'm wondering if anyone has found relief from air-borne allergies from
eating paleo? Before I started being seriously paleo, I met someone who was
a total vegan who said she had cured her spring allergies through diet.
While I didn't buy into being vegan, I have thought perhaps being a
paleo-diet eater might heal them.

Since I live in the grass seed capital of the world, it's definitely a
concern of mine. I can say my spring allergy reactions are still occurring
though I seem to suffer less than in past years. It's almost manageable
though I use an OTC medication at times as otherwise I would simply be
incapacitated by sneezing and histamine reactions. I assume it's a grass
pollen reaction, though never been tested.

To the extent I've read discussion on this, the idea seems to be that
overall immune system load, such as reactions to gluten grains or dairy
causes an over-reactive response to all allergens. Heal the gut, heal the
allergy.

While that might be true, paleo eating just hasn't resulted in a cure for me
though I do feel better off than most of my adult life around this. I've
been given a 'natural' product containing herbs such as nettles and
quercetin to assist my immune system and am somewhat conflicted about using
it. I've been pill-free for awhile except for the OTC medication which makes
me drowsy and somewhat sluggish mentally and physically.

Any information about successful approaches to easing air born pollen
reactions would be of interest. Thanks.

Todd
