I hope it helps you. Please give it 100% for at least two months. That's how long it took for me to find relief from the red bumps and severe itching. I still have some small hives but they are tolerable. GOOD LUCK!!!
My re-occurrence cycle is 6 months symptom free and 6 months symptomatic. No medical prescription has ever made a noticeable difference. I was only a month into a new outbreak, not severe yet when I started the daily fresh cilantro smoothie (I have learned on this site it freezes well so if out of fresh I make up a frozen smoothie). It only took me 2 weeks to notice my emerging outbreak stalled. Yet months for the scabs to start to fall off. I still have a few scabs after 6 months that won't go away, if the scab comes off in the shower it crusts over again, but only extremely minor itching at those sites. The true GD itching stopped in a few weeks after beginning the smoothie and it never got to the pain level. Pain is my most miserable symptom. You have a full blown outbreak and perhaps it will take longer to notice improvement, but as others say keep it up for months before you give up. Please keep us updated.
I think you’ll be pleasantly surprised. I was diagnosed in January, started cilantro in February and now symptom free as of August. Good luck!
