Greetings! Eric Bakker. Naturopath. Author of Candida Crusher. Formulator of the CanXida range of supplements. Thank you for catching up with me again on this video. Today we're going to talk about: Can Candida cause hives? Or is a yeast infection implicated in causing hives? This is a very interesting question. 

Well, we know one thing for sure. We know the different Candida species certainly evoke various immune responses, and we also know that hives is a very powerful immune response linked to the production of histamine, which can cause swelling and itching and redness. It's very interesting when I see a patient and we find the patient's got hives or recurring hives. I'm not so much interested in treating the hives. I'm more interested in trying to understand the immune system imbalance. 

I can't tell you how many cases I've seen where people had major hives and then started to regularly take antihistamines, thinking that was the cure, because that's all the doctor could offer. When I looked at those patients very carefully, I found many of them had elevated cortisol levels. A lot of them were stressed out people. If they weren't stressed out, they certainly had a problem with their adrenal glands being problematic. That's one part. 

The other part I've seen with people with hives is a very strong family history of hives. Some people come with a genetic predisposition to developing very powerful allergies against the minutest of allergens. Yeast is not so much indicated with hives in my opinion. I don't really believe that a person who has Candida is more prone to getting hives. But I certainly have seen a correlation with people with recurring hives who start taking antihistamines that those people are certainly more prone to developing yeast infections. I've seen a connection in that response. 

Is it the chicken or the egg? What came first? The Candida or the hives? It's really hard to say. One thing I will say if you're watching this because you've found this video because of hives, if you're recurrently suffering from hives, you certainly need to go on a very powerful dietary regime where you take out the key allergens from the diet, and 90 percent of allergens in the diet generally revolve around things like dairy products, tree nuts, eggs, fish, soy, wheat gluten, oranges is a key one, chocolate, sugar. They seem to be some of the key allergens. If you suffer from hives regularly, you must take those foods out of your diet or do an elimination kind of protocol. 

Another heads up for you: If you've got hives, I've found many hive medications are powerful B-12 suppressants. They actually suppress the body's ability to uptake vitamin B-12. So get your blood levels checked with B-12 if you're taking antihistamine quite regularly. You don't need to suffer from hives. You just need to fix up the stimulation or the reason why hives are being caused in the first place. If you do that, you won't suffer much from them at all.
