Started getting hives about two years ago. Got pretty bad with it and finally went and got tested they gave me a whole list of stuff that I react to . After about 6 months I pretty much have figured out what works now but have had to put my foot down on everyone trying to accommodate me as they were going to extremes not to have some of that stuff around. Told them not to do it as I know what I can tolerate and what I can't and not worry about it. Eating something that affects me is like touching something hot now, I just don't do it. But they gotta live their lives and don't need to scrub their whole kitchen or some such truck.
Having figured out my malady has worked well for me though I eat simple good for me stuff and lost about 25 lbs. Some of the stuff on the list I can have in moderation and some of it will make me swell up like a toad and I have to avoid it. I nearly have everyone trained now not to worry about me ....
