been logging everything since january and finally noticed something. i was so focused on the low-histamine diet that i completely missed the stress pattern.
i’ll have a totally clean food day, then we hit a big job at work and by the end of my shift i’m flushed, heart racing, sometimes the dermographism shows up. my allergist said that’s normal when mast cell load gets high from exertion, but i wasn’t expecting it to outpace food triggers.
now i’m wondering if i need different h1 blocker dosing on stressful days, or if i just accept the flares. anyone else dealing with exertion being your biggest trigger?
