They don't work!.....Steroids or antihistamines! and Dermatoligists are lost for treating the disease.....after years of Flare ups I speak with experience!

GD: I've now been trying cilantro for around 10 days and I think I'm starting to feel a little less itchy, so I'll keep it going for a bit. I found an easy way to down the cilantro without making a smoothie that adds lots of carbs and sugar. In a Nutribullet I mash 15 - 20 grams of fresh cilantro with 1\2 cup of frig-cold water, then I drink it in about 5 - 6 gulps. But here's the trick - I keep my epiglottis closed while I do it, so I taste nothing. It's the same as pinching your nose, only easier. Anyone who's done a little snorkeling will know what I mean. When I finish drinking, I rinse the cup with a little tap water then rinse my mouth and spit it out. Then, with my epiglottis still closed, I rinse my mouth with a little Listerine or similar mouthwash. Then I start breathing through my nose again and there's no cilantro aftertaste. The last couple of days I've tossed some parsley into the brew. I might even try some kale. HTH 🙂

I’ve tried just about everything suggested and the only thing that has worked is Triamcinolone but since steroid I have to limit my use. I have not tried cilantro so I’m going to see what happens with it. Tried that French cream Avene, a friend tried it and did nothing for them and passed it to me, but nada 😕 I have been diagnosed for GD by a biopsy…
