I've been having Hives for the past 4 weeks and am currently only on Allegra and Benadryl and off all other prescription and OTC meds I was on. Now that I know its not a drug Allergy my doctor is trying to see if I have a food Allergy and has put me on a very restrictive diet. I think that dairy might be the trigger. How do I find that out from the diet?
Thanks.

After giving sufficient time for your system to clear (I think they say 2 weeks) then try reintroducing one food at a time like you would a baby just starting to eat solids. Add one food, and eat some of that every day for 3-4 days. If there is no reaction, add another food and do the same thing. Once you add the food that is the problem, you will have a reaction within that 3-4 days and you will know what it is you cant eat! Dont be surprised if you find more than one food that is a trigger. Alot of different foods are related to eachother.

The other option, if you just cant stick with the slow pace of reintroduction, is to request allergy testing.
