Thanks! Pam, many people have reported that as their guts healed, the incidence of allergies significantly reduced.

Guest guest Posted September 22, 2010 Report Share Posted September 22, 2010 I've had a major improvement in my seasonal allergies on SCD. I used to be miserable in spring and fall, mainly with very itchy eyes, nose, and throat. Now, I sometimes get mildly itchy eyes, but not often. Really the only thing I still deal with is drainage down my throat, but it's not bad enough that it bothers me. Oh, and I eat raw local honey as well. That may be part of what has helped me.

I'm thinking my 6 year old son might suffer from them (a STRONG genetic link in the males of the family), and has had a lot of blinking/dry/red-ish eyes lately. At this point, they are unknown allergies, but likely environmental. There has never been any overt reaction to anything, just these little smalls signs. I'm slowly including more SCD into my family's diet, but just want to know if there is more specific information regarding how it might help alleviate allergies.

Guest guest Posted September 25, 2010 Report Share Posted September 25, 2010 I had TERRIBLE allergies and had to take allergy shots for 31 yrs. Don't need them after SCD. I DO have to take antihistamines at times like these... ungodly mold count after a huge amt. of rain here the past month... YES!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Wow! I'm also hoping to get my husband more on SCD...eventually! He has allergies, and is totally set in his thinking that it's genetic (both parents have it bad) and therefore nothing will help but drugs. Silly boy....I'll get him there....eventually!

Guest guest Posted September 26, 2010 Report Share Posted September 26, 2010 Just wanted to chime in. My husband used to need a Claritin D every 24 hours like clockwork for 30 years from spring to fall. He started SCD in Feb. of this year and has only needed allergy meds about once every 3 weeks except for this last week in which he has used one every other day. I understand it is one of the worst hayfever seasons in many years. I should also mention that my husband used to take antibiotics for his rosacea and since starting the diet, he has not taken any at all! He is very happy since he decided to do SCD to support our 13 yd with Crohn's and never expected to benefit so much himself. Josie Mom to 13 yd Crohns SCD 2/10 > > > > > > Hello all!
