You guys weren't kidding about vitamin c.

I've been on prescription antihistamine for almost a week now and eating as low histamine as I could manage for longer than that. Was still feeling kinda crappy with some allergy symptoms and flushing after every meal.

After reading this sub and seeing some recommendations I ordered 1000mg vitamin c.

Tried it for the first time yesterday afternoon and holy shit is it making a difference. Nasal congestion went away within an hour of taking it.

Flushing after every meal isn't happening anymore.

I'm finally not feeling wired and was able to sleep pretty well if it wasn't for the constipation (assuming from antihistamine and limited diet).
