Allergies and Candida symptoms
A: The problem with loratadine is that it’s suppressive. Sure, it’s supressing your annoying allergy symptoms, but there’s going to come a point where that’s not going to work anymore if you’re not healing your immune system. Allergies happen when your immune system isn’t healthy.
Like you, my husband is allergic to cats, mold, and almost everything green that grows outside (as well as bugs and a couple WEIRD food addatives.) His biggest allergy was by far the candida though. For YEARS, he’s suffered with allergy symptoms, skin symptoms, digestive symptoms, joint pain, fatigue… When he finally went to the allergist and found out that he was so allergic to candida, he was told, “If we get the candida under control, the other stuff will fall into line.” He was prescribed a candida diet and Diflucan. (I don’t necessarily agree with the Diflucan thing, but that’s for another time.) Anyway, as he’s strengthened his body and immune system and taken the antifungal, his allergy symptoms have lessened to the point where he HASN’T had everyday sinus trouble and he’s been without his Zyrtec and Nasonex for about 3 weeks now.
Don’t get me wrong, he’s got a long way to go. But it turned out that the antihistamines were just kinda sorta dealing with symptoms that were caused by something entirely different.
I should also mention that we have a cat. Now, we don’t let her sleep with us, but other than that, my husband’s doing great JUST addressing the cnadida.
It’s amazing how many health issues are related to candida. Once you strengthen your immune system and get that candida under control, a LOT of
issues disappear.
