Chronic Hives.... not driving me nuts anymore!

Hello Everyone...
I posted some time ago about my chronic hives (dermographism).  As of right now I have not had an antihistamine for 6 weeks!!  Now that is huge for me!!  
I don't exactly what I did to make it better.  But I made a strict decision and stopped eating certain types of food.  I was sure it was a yeast problem.  So I decided to stop eating all wheat, dairy and anything with yeast in it... and especially sugar.  I went on supplements which consisted of Oregamax (which is wild oregano), Aged Garlic supplements, Complex B vitamins and I took Echineca/Goldenseal supplements by Natures Way.  I believe that really has helped me.  It boosts your immune system dramatically.  I also took a Candida Cleanse too.  
Its been about 3 months now since I started my regimen.  I feel pretty damn good too!!
Seen that you can not take Echineca and Goldenseal all the time I alternate it with Astragalus (chinese herb).
All my bloodwork came back fine.  Nothing is wrong anywhere.. my kidneys, my liver.  I also took a very strong probiotic/prebiotic as well.  100 billion count, (CFU) colony forming unit.  Plus some Vitamin C/Quercetin as well.
Also I use bee pollen everyday in my smoothie... started out in very small amounts, building my way up.  Some people can have severe allergic reactions to it, so tred carefully with that one.
But so far so good for me.  I will keep working on it.  Keep building that immune system up there!
So I hope my information might help others out there,
All the best and feel free to ask me any questions :)
