Chronic Urticaria?


Does anyone have this or know any treatment . Basically its very itchy unbelievably unconfortable hives on the skin that are caused by warm artifical (heater) temperature or very active physical motion . ( running , heavy lifting ; etc )

Without seeing it, it sounds like exercise induced urticaria. The warm temp. mimics the basal body temp increase with exercise. You can take anti-histamines like claritin (over the counter), allegra, zyrtec, etc. to help prevent the hives. I would talk with your doctor to confirm the diagnosis and think about trying one of those medicines.

I had chronic urticaria a few years ago. I tried everything, with very little relief. My doctors were good for antihistimines, but little else.

Finally, I came upon an article that suggested that some cases of chronic urticaria could be caused by a yeast infection in the intestines. With time, the yeast begins to damage the lining of the intestines and, as a result, proteins which have not been fully digested get into the bloodstream and cause all types of allergic reactions.

I wasn't completely sold, but I had tried everything else so, why not? For two weeks I cut out all "large protein" foods, especially foods containing gluten (wheat, barley, oats, etc.) and dairy. Also no meat and no refined sugar, and no supplements or vitamins. This left only a few foods, but I did quite alright on a diet of veggies, fruits, rice, and eggs. The idea was to starve the yeast of its favorite foods (sugar and starches) and give the lining a chance to heal.

Well, within a week I thought I was seeing some improvement. Within three I was able to decrease my meds, and eventually I was completely hive-free. Anyway, I'm not saying that what worked for me will work for everyone, but it certainly is worth a try. If you eat lots of sweets, or have recently taken an antibiotic or birth control pills, your body may just be crying out for a break and a chance to heal itself.
