Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 Wow, Barb, sounds like you have identified a possible trigger. I've noticed the same thing with tomatoes - cooked tomatoes, that is. I too can eat raw ones without any problem. I've always summed it up to the old salicylates. Perhaps not? Sorry you're feeling bad, and hope this goes away soon!

Guest guest Posted April 13, 2001 Report Share Posted April 13, 2001 Most cases of CU are idiopathic....they have no known cause. My specialist says it's rare for CU to be caused by allergies, especially when it's long term. > from what i am understanding cu is usually some type of food allergy , we > have done > or at least tried food elimination with my son,, Who knows > > Annette Hickey > > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > If you do wish to unsubscribe then you can click on the following link: > <mailto:urticaria-unsubscribeegroups> > ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ > > This list is in the service of those who suffer from Chronic Urticaria (hives).

Guest guest Posted April 14, 2001 Report Share Posted April 14, 2001 I'm glad you're able to identify one of the " culprits' for triggering your symptoms Barb! This can be so mystifying.

Guest guest Posted April 12, 2004 Report Share Posted April 12, 2004 Dear Annette Actually, it's the opposite. Acute urticaria (lasting for a few days) is often due to food allergies, or other allergies - but the chronic kind is usually absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with what you are ingesting. In my humble opinion, it is not worth putting your little son through food elimination diets.
