I am taking supplements recommended by DS's ped and allergist - probiotics (HLC Intensive by Pharmax, I am removing contents of capsules), Glutamine Powder by Vital Nutrients, Digest Gold plant enzymes by Enzymedica... plus the Pangestyme UL12 prescription (pig pancreatic enzymes) from the peds GI that I have been taking for 3 weeks now. I went ahead and decided to start the supplements without baseline since they are supposed to help and without them it seemed I could wait forever for baseline... The Drs. wanted me to anyhow, I was the one that was reluctant without baseline. I thought the lentil reaction was almost done (several days without hives, less snarfly, better poops and less frequent, etc) and then suddenly - mystery reaction - decent amount of hives were back and cheeks were red! So, I went ahead. Hives continue, cheeks red, allergic shiners, and way more congested than hes been in months. What I don't know is if this is the next stage of the mystery reaction we just started the day before starting the supps, or if this is some sort of die off / things get worse before they get better or reaction to the supplements themselves - which I find unlikely since these are as pure and straight forward as I could find!

Also, I have started feeling achy/headachy last night too. Could we be having some sort of die off effect? Anyone with experience with this?
