Thanks. The other articles were written far better.

There’s really not much that gets past the gut (that is of a big enough size to trigger an immune response). Wonder if it gets absorbed through the linings of the mouth.

Almost sounds like some type of low grade allergic response.

My interest in this is because I have been suffering from a massive outbreak of hives and angioedema.

I have been tested for just about everything and they still do not know the cause. I am on 4 different daily meds and has it some what under control (about 70%) but I still have outbreaks that break through with the meds I am now on. If I stop the meds the severe hives and angioedema comes back in full force.

I was on Prednisone daily and it kept the hives and angioedema under control 95% of the time. But the doctor wanted me off the Prednisone due to the damage it can cause with long term use.

I eat a lot of Pork and Red Beef. I may just experiment myself by cutting out the pork and beef from my diet to see if my symptoms let up.
