Has anyone seen improvements with allergies since starting/ being on Carnivore?

[ms069279]

Hello,

I've been on the carnivore diet for exactly 2 weeks and I've noticed a few changes already...  mostly good.

I have also noticed my allergies, primarily around the eyes, worsen.  It has been unusually cold and dry so that might also have effect on my eyes and sking around my eyes due to dryness.

I am also just coming out of having caught pnemonia, suffer from allergies seasonally, and have glaucoma.  I feel like I can't focus my vision and my eyes are constantly itchy and teary.  Not sure if it's relevant but for context.

Finally, I'm noticing bags and dark spots around my eyes which I never had in the past.  Perhaps that's due to my face starting to get smaller, or not (?).

Has anyone else suffered from similar issues when first starting out?

Thanks

If you're in a northern climate like me, it could be the cold. January is being brutal to us this year where I live. My lipped are chapped. My legs itch from dry skin, etc.

Also remember that you initially lose a lot of water and water weight, because you are not consuming carboHYDRATEs. This is why a lot of us drink a little extra water and take an electrolyte supplement in the beginning of our carnivore journey. You might want to consider doing the same to ensure that you are not dehydrated or mineral deficient.

This could be. When I was obese I had smooth skin because of the fat in my face. When I lost the weight, I got wrinkles, lol.

With this being winter we don’t normally encounter allergy symptoms around here. That more of a springtime thing. 
Prior to starting carnivore my eyes watered all the time. My nose ran constantly and in the spring my eyes would itch really bad. I kept medicine on hand for that. 
After being in carnivore for a while my eyes dried up. They stopped itching. My nose dried up about 80%. Now it only runs when it’s cold. 
Your recent illness could very well be what’s happening but it could also have something to do with oxalate dumping.

I have some type of atopic rash that makes my face fatty and dry at the same time. It can be seen somewhere else,too.

I use cortisone lotion for it.

But whenever I´m cutting carbs low,the rash disappears. Gone. I have been watching this for 20 years now,it is a sugar thing.

it was worst in my beer drinking days.

The one thing I've noticed since I started, I haven't been sick over a year. I have no allergies to speak of.
