Cholinergic Urticaria

Probiotics and Hives?

by

What kind of probiotics are members taking for hives? I am 28 years old and have had chronic hives since my 7th grade year. I am trying new things to try to help it and considering the candida cleanse. I am looking into probiotics and for those who take it, may I ask what kind you are taking?

Thanks,

  1. Hi I have aloe Vera gel have a shot every morning and beta- carotene at night still get out breaks but soon clears up a have had it very bad in the past. The first I had urticaria and angoedema it was so scary as my face swelled and raging welts all over me ended up at hospital twice I found no tablets worked I think they made it worse. So I ware loose clothes to bed as my worst outbreaks are I in the night never the day and then fade. I have camomile tea and porridge oats for breakfast. If Drink alcohol mainly wine I have an outbreak every time but they fade. It’d a nightmare just found out today my Auntie has had it for 20 years. Oh and another tip uv light help me before I went on holiday had a sunbed and they went.

  2. I’ve used most all big brands: Align, Digestive Advantage, Culturelle, Probiotic Pearls, etc. I’ve had mixed results in terms of digestion.

    With respect to hives, that’s a different story. Some research has shown that probiotics may have an affect on allergic disorders. I do think they help some. After all, most of the human immune system is located in the intestinal system. Nevertheless, probiotics alone probably won’t cure your hives.

    I like Digestive Advantage best. It seems to give me the best results, and it’s relatively inexpensive. Always check with a doctor before supplementing, however.

  3. Hello,
    I know my experience may be not strictly be a hives related problem but I have recently commenced using a probiotic called Eczema Relief.
    It is sold here in Australia by Ethical Nutrients and contains the probiotic lactobacillus rhamnosus.

    It’s only day 5 since I started and I’ll let you know if I succeed in overcoming my current skin problems.

    Great forum.
