I itch after eating foods with sugar

[thopkins]

I first started developing symptoms of itching and breaking out in small bumps in a few places on my body after eating about 3 years ago.
I had all kins of tests done to make its nothing serious and the doctors ended up telling me it urticaria and tht there isnt anything i van do about it. She told me to take antihestamines when i start itching.
3 years later and i still have the same problem, at times better than others. The moment i eat anything with sugar in it i will start itching for hours and will have to take antihestamine.
It causes me great discomfort at times and i would really like to find out why this ishappening.
Does anyone have advice on this for me?

Solution : To,Everyone! who wrote in this thread or reading this,about itchiness issue after sugar consumption or any other food that converts into sugar,

In this thread,someone has probably referred to candida,someone probably referred to food allergy,whatever it is..


Only Solution I will tell is "PROBIOTIC."

Get as many brands you can find,wherever you find.test them all one by one,because our body is not exactly same,i wouldn't know which brand would work for you.

But Stick with probiotic EVERYDAY... (you know why these two words in my post are capital letters,because i'm shouting)

I know how i developed my problem,may not be same for,but i believe the solution is most definitely the same,there is no side effects with consumption of probiotic known medical science yet,So don't worry.

Make sure you get atleast (10 to 15 billion CFU) probiotic. I know which brand is working for me,but i won't mention that,as i said previously,not all brand suits everyone,plus it would sound like,i'm promoting a specific brand,that would completely spoil the credibility of my post and my willingness to unconditionally help others with my experience.

Caution : don't try all brand all together,stick with one for atleast a month.it takes atleast 2 weeks for your stomach to adjust with that specific probiotic,within that time you may not feel comfortable,stomach hurts little bit,don't stop taking that.I bet you if you can endure that much itchiness, to figure out if that your final solution now,you can live with little discomfort for a few days,that phase is only temporary.

again, i don't know if eventually that will completely fix your issue,i don't have itchiness for a 4 months now,i can eat everything else now,except i still can't consume direct sugar.Don't even think about sugar in liquids,that takes even less time to impact.

This is my 3 years of research in suffering,so don't waste your valuable time,doesn't mean you i suggesting you to just run to pharmacy now,Alteast search for probiotic on google,and find out what it is.

I wish you all the best to discover your own probiotic that suits your stomach,and definitely! pray so you can have a peaceful life...well,that's my limit.

I have had a problem for many years and only recently thought about it being caused by sugar.  I think I noticed on days when I really restrict my sugar intake that the itching is better.  I don't have a rash, just patches of skin that itch for no reason.  One doctor gave me a medication cream called Triamcinalone and told me to use as much as I want, but he had no other answers.  One or two successful applications will help and last for a day or two, but then have to be reapplied.  It's very frustrating and dare I say embarrassing also.  But this is the only semi-solution I have come up with.

Sounds like you may have yeast overgrowth, or Candida Albicans. Google for some anti-candida diets. I have it myself and have discovered some great meals. Take good quality probiotics and eat probiotic foods (eg: pickles, kefir - Google for that info too). You may have to make a major diet change but it's worth it.

Cut out eating grains that contain gluten which is in wheat, barley, rye, and oats. Sounds like you have dermatitis herpatiformis. Also, I would cut out eating sugar, except organic sparingly; I use raw honey. And no dairy and see if this helps.
Get checked for celiac disease. If you can eat only organic.
I was checked, but refused the biopsy (endoscopy) because I know from my body I am very sensitive to gluten. This started with me 3 years ago .
I can stop the itching if I do these things I mentioned.
It's got to related to all the GMO's, and processed foods we eat.  
Pray to God, He will help you. I prayed for you. God wants you to be healthy.

A few months ago I started getting severe itching all over my body. My skin would dry, crack, and fall off to the point my bed sheet felt like it was covered in sand. I lost many hours of sleep and felt fairly tired throughout most of the day. I tried taking Benadryl but it would only make me drowsy and did nothing to help with the itch. I ignored the itching at first having suffered from eczema my whole life but started to get worried after I realized my whole body was literally getting inflamed and my skin color was getting darker/redder. Usually I can control my eczema but this flareup feels like it is something completely different. I'll probably go to the doctor eventually but I've managed to get my symptoms under control. I used Diptozone 0.05% on my neck just to hide the visible nasty rash. At the same time, after researching a bit online, I decided to start fasting. After only one day, the itching has subsided and coupled with the Diptozone the rash on my neck has completely disappeared. The rest of my body is still a bit discolored and inflammed but I'm just glad I'm able to get some sleep now. The itching has also subsided mostly and only comes back after I eat something. Since I know the inflammation is caused by something I ingest, I've been slowly testing different foods. Sadly, nothing I eat sits down well. However, to keep myself from starving, I'd just eat a Subway sandwich packed with veggies. It doesn't cause that much inflammation but I still feel much better while fasting even if it means I have to go through the day hungry. Lucky for me, I'm a slacking college student and so I don't have to spend much energy during the day and am pretty used to going hungry. If you're still reading this and have the same symptoms as me, try fasting and drinking lots of water, I realiy hope it helps you like it helped me. Also, I've been thinking this inflammation might have something to do with stress. I didn't realize it until looking back now but I started playing in the stock market recently and lost a good amount of money. A part of me feels like I held down my anger and stress to the point my body couldn't handle it and literally heated up. I've been managing the stress now and cut back on focusing on stocks and am learning how to enjoy life while trying to maintain this hobby. If I have a big loss again, and suddenly feel like my skin is burning, I'll come back here to let you guys know its definitely stress related. BTW, the condition I found that most closely resembled what I was feeling is called Erytheroderma. If this does not resemble your condition, still try fasting and see how it works out. If that doesn't work, see how exercising and eating healthy works, because that usually cures/treats most illnesses/diseases. Thank you for reading and good luck.

Hey guys,

I, after struggling with these issues myself, recently found out that a major root cause surrounding this whole "candida overgrowth epidemic" along with the extreme sudden food allergies and itching all over is this - pesticides in our food.  And though I am sure that some people develop these same issues by being exposed to other "toxins" that can disrupt the natural flora and function of their bodies, the symptoms typically come from the same cause.  

All of these issues are developed simply because the protective lining of their intestines  slowly becomes eroded by some type of chemical toxin, and then whatever you eat becomes directly absorbed into the bloodstream and in the case of carbohydrates and sugar can cause massive candida overgrowth in the body.  New food allergies can also occur, as with me, I very suddenly developed an allergy to the mold on peanuts. My new peanut allergy presented very unusual symptoms though.  I began having fits if terror and horrible panic attacks, and sometimes my whole brain would seemingly go "numb" and I would lose my entire ability to speak (could not think at all or answer simple questions).  One day after having one of those terrible attacks the night before, I started thinking about the last food I had eaten before my sudden panic attack.  I had eaten a snickers ice cream bar.  I thought, "what if all these years, I just have a peanut allergy?".  So I went into my kitchen and ate another one, and within minutes I had an attack.  I was actually very happy to figure this out, because my doctor had me on a very high dose of narcotic anxiety medication (benzodiazepines).  I was able to completely come off of my medications which took several months (because after 3 years on benzodiazepines...you cannot cold turkey off of them), and now I just avoid peanuts 100%.  No more attacks!  
I have also been battling full body candida for a while also, so my deep investigative research has led me to all of this information.  My mother has been battling auto immune issues, and yes candida also, for almost 20 years, and it all started in her 30s after she had bronchitis and was treated with antibiotics.  But whether it be antibiotics (it can only take 1 or 2 times of taking an antibiotic to develop these issues) or just eating foods that have pesticides in and on them as well as any other toxic cause - those things can damage the protective lining of your intestines and stomach. And just so you know, If it's not organic, it has pesticides in it!!! (Yes, even bread and juice!). What can you do once the damage is done?  Well, as another person suggested,  people really need to be sure to take a very good probiotic every day, and eat something pickled like pickles or sauerkraut.  

And Research "Leaky gut syndrome".

However, if you are pregnant and have developed severe itching all over your body, especially on your hands and feat, you need to make an appointment and tell your doctor about these symptoms.  It is very likely that you could have obstetric cholestasis, which carries a high risk of having a still birth if you deliver after 37 weeks.  I ALSO developed this issue, and I am very glad that I went and got tested for it, because my mind was trying to convince me that I was just having my usual yeasty body itches.  Could have saved my babies life.  I was induced into labor at exactly 37 weeks, and had a very healthy baby. :)

I really hope this information sheds some light on the issue, and maybe helps in some way......

Bye For Now.
