I am experiencing something that almost parallel's your story. I am currently suffering from chronic hives and have been for 3 months. This has been a reall horrible experience. I have been on all sorts of medication to supress the hives but they always came back. I also kept a food log and I noticed that when i took my vitamins, ate margarine, instant noodles, icecream and certain baked goods...i broke out in hives. Especially the vitamins. But those items seemed so random and not related in anyway. Now I am starting to suspect it might be Tartrazine! Thank you so much, I am going to avoid this chemical and see what happens.

Just like aspirin. Oddly I just read about a link to celiac and these FD&C yellows as well. I went through a very stressful period of time watching my grandmother die from cancer and my body produced the itchy watery blisters associated with celiac that did not go away for a year until I removed gluten from my diet. Headaches, constipation and mood swings also disappeared. Another place to be weary of is fast food restaurants. Breakfast sandwich's sometimes come with fake eggs. Well some of those fake eggs have yellow #5 & #6 in them, the cook was nice enough to read the carton the eggs were poured from and found it for me after I got blisters. This and that fake cheese on nachos. Good luck to everyone out there especially to those who've been laughed at & told they're crazy or stupid. This allergy is very real.

I was prescribed the anti-depressant Norpramin (desipramine HCL). Within 72 hours I came down with rashes ALL OVER MY BODY. I immediately went off that anti-depressant, even tho it was WORKING. For the next 24 years I have gone on an odyssey to find a drug that would work for me. I found NONE. Now, 2009, I have a doctor prescribing me Norpramin once again, stating the reason I was allergic was NOT the Norpramin but the tartrazine dye! 24 YEARS OF ATTEMPTED TREATMENT, DOWN THE DRAIN! I don't know if Norpramin will work NOW (with my advanced age, 52) but I guess I'll see.
