Benedryl is better for counteracting the effects of allergies, of which I have many. It was used when I started reacting to IVP dye during a test at the hospital. Keep some handy with you, and also check into an EpiPen (epinephrin). They are easy to use when needed, but a doctor must prescribe them. And as Charlee said, 'Get thee to an allergist!'

Yes, do what Charlee says!!! If you've had hives before, then there are certain "on-going" things you are allergic to. Although you tend toward allergies, something can pop up one day that you've never come in contact with before. I'm very allergic to mold and will stop breathing. If the store where the muffins were had mold on anything NEAR the muffins it could affect you. My allergist told me that once you have the hives, they will reappear over and over...not like your body builds up immunity to them. If you don't get relief soon, I'd go get a Benedryl shot. There's another one that works well but can't remember the name.

Feel better soon...know you are miserable!!

Celiac Disease has a skin component. You may have to avoid wheat, barley and rye. Is this your first reaction to a food?

Could be nuts or graham flour that triggered your reaction. Its important that you talk to someone at the store - perhaps the manager of that section.
