How Long Before I'll Notice a Difference?

[paulpelican]

I've had dark circles under my eyes for my entire life.  It seems that two of the main causes of dark circles are wheat and dairy allergies.  As part of a lifestyle change, I completely cut out wheat from my diet about three months ago.  Now that I know wheat isn't the cause, I'm going to cut out dairy to see if anything changes.  I'm just wondering how long it might be before my raccoon eyes start to go away, assuming that they are actually caused by some sort of dairy allergy?  Two weeks, a month, two months?

There can be other causes for the dark circles.  Lack of adequate rest is a biggy.  Airborn allergies can also cause the circles.  I used to not be able to conceal my circles at all, no matter how much make up and powder I used to keep in in place.  After two years of agressively treating my airborn allergies with allergy shots and antihistamines the circles a barely noticeable without makeup.

Allergy shots, or immunotherapy is a 100% natural (non-medicinal) treatment.  The dr decides on a formulation for your serum based on your allergy testing.  The serum consists of actual allergens in small quanitites that are injected into your arm.  You are carefully monitored for adverse reactions for about 30 minutes and then allowed to go home.  The treatment retrains your immune system to not identify the allergens as substances that require attacking.

Take care and look better.
