Hi everyone! I eat radishes everyday and today I bought some with the greens attached.
Has anyone here had success with eating the greens from low nickel root vegetables like beet greens or radish greens without triggering a reaction?
Hi all, so I've been questioning if I have a nickel allergy / food sensitivity, due to reactions to oats and coconut.
I have MCAS and histamine intolerance, and I didn't realise but when I went low histamine and felt loads better, I was also by default cutting out most high nickel foods, so an elimination diet can't really help me at this point. I have already cut out oats and coconut because of my reactions and there aren't many low histamine high nickel foods left, I think I've already cut them all out. 😬🤷♀️
I wore a nickel sensiband for a week and this was the result. I had a similar but less intense reaction when worn for 2 days on the other arm. I wore the cobalt one for a week with no reaction so I know it's not the strap or just sweat/irritation from metal in general. Would you think this is such a small reaction it makes nickel sensitivity unlikely, or does this look significant enough to you that maybe I'm onto something?
Is there any point in going to the next step and getting patch testing, when my primary concern is food reactions, not metal sensitivity? What are your thoughts? This looks minor compared to some of the reactions described here, especially after wearing the band for a week.
Thanks all!
Any braces recommendations for allergies to nickel? I am in my early 50s and allergic to nickel. I am having the hardest time finding an orthodontist who is not just a sales person asking me to come in.
I have never had braces and would really like to improve myself the best I can in my 50s. I cannot afford to try braces with minimal nickel in it and then later have to switch to some alternative. I would rather get what I need from the very beginning, so as to avoid medical and dental concerns surrounding nickel allergies.
In the past, I was told I am not a candidate for Invisalign, so I need braces only... At least at this time.
Hi! I have been having skin issue, mostly on my face and back and after a lot of testing, I found out I am allergic to nickel. I got the patch testing done and BOY did my back FREAK out.
I don't know if this is causing my cystic like issues on my face. I am 32 and have tried everything for my skin, eventually making me think it has to be some sort of allergy issue. If I touch nickel and then touch my face would that cause issues? I don't get rashes on my hands though, is this because the hands are tougher skin?
Just wondering where to even begin and how wild I have to go with eliminating Nickel. Like is my stainless steel fridge a problem or my cookware since I see that contains a small amount of Nickel? Where do I begin?! Send help!
I’ve done some internet research and apparently getting canned kidney beans, and draining and washing them well, can be the least offensive of the beans in terms of nickel content. Apparently the nickel seeps out over time? I don’t know how accurate this is.
I’m curious if any of yall tolerate kidney beans still. This would be huge for me because I could easily get a ton of fiber from beans.
My 10 year old daughter just tested positive to nickel allergy in patch testing. She has chronic eczema including her palm. Basically since she's born. Her allergist suggested to ignore the diet and just focus on obvious contact surfaces.
We've done that for over a week and yesterday she had a flare on her palm that made her bleed. She got very upset because she didn't touch anything. She wore cotton gloves for a large part of the day and had been working so hard all week to he careful. She did eat some high nickel foods in succession so she is now convinced she wants to try the diet. She had peanut butter, chocolate, beans and barley. All within a few hours of eachother.
Long story short, for starting out, what is the most important to focus on? Most likely culprits generally?
Thanks in advance!
I'm wondering if anyone has gotten better if you remove any furniture with a lot of metal or a metal bed frame. Wondering if this can be causing breathing issues. I do notice an improvement when I'm in another room that doesn't have so much metal and has more wood.
