Hi I was initially diagnosed with stage 3, grade 3 left ductal carcinoma in January 2016.  After surgery, some of the chemo (not completed due to ill health and suffering with ME) and radiation I was given letrozole.  Side effects of severe pain, dizzyness and weight gain, as well as severe incontinence (feacal & urinary).  Stopped in 2023 after 8 years due to severity of incontinence. 

Two weeks after stopping I started with urticaria (initially under buttocks), then hands and wrists, now everywhere, even the side of my face/scalp and my eye was extremely sore.  Numerous visits to the doctors, taking fexofenadine (180mg) x 4 per day and also using hydrocortisone ointment, all to no avail.  I was referred to dermatology in 2024 and have been waiting ever since.  I believe it may be food related, however my reactions to numerous healthy foods are so bad that I cannot seem to target the offenders.  I am waiting for a referral to a food allergy service, but in the interim I was wondering if anyone has heard or had anything similar, or could give some advice.

My allergies that I have figured out are:

Dairy - in any form (cheese, milk, mayonnaise, cream)

gravy

curry

hummous/sesame seeds

some prepared meats, anything with additives

Could it be foods with estrogen in them?

I am currently living on salad, but feeling like a rabbit.
