A naturopath put me on an anti-inflammatory diet. Biggest change for me was no sugar. It's been a year. The diet itself didn't help but I have been eating better. What I probably should be doing is a low histamine diet. I follow it loosely. It's hard. I find an anti-histamine every day helps me sometimes. I sometimes get worse just preparing food, cooking. Sometimes I have to rest and eat very slowly. Sometimes I leave the table mid meal to lie down and do diaphragm breathing, then return.
My symptom gets worse with minimal exertion. I walk the dog, play with the toddler grandchild, lift weights at the gym. That's one of the worst things. I am getting ready to go to the mountains for the summer and want to hike without too much effort.
