Enzymedica, Allerase, 60 Capsules

I suffer terribly with year round indoor and outdoor allergies both day and night, which cause severe sneezing attacks, streaming nose and eyes and even hives. I purchased these a few days ago as I am fed up of the side effects from antihistamines. Last night I awoke with a typical violent sneezing / streaming episode in the middle of the night - within half an hour or so it was completely resolved with no detectable side effects. Usually antihistamines take a lot longer for me and don't work as well. Plus I wake up the next day feeling like a zombie. I am tentatively rating Allerase as 4 stars, as I need more time to determine their efficacy is consistent, plus they are slightly pricey - however well worth it if they continue to be this effective. I also suffer from hives, so will be interested to see if Allerase are effective for this too.

This seems to upset my stomach, and it's complicated timing it to take on an empty stomach, but it's worth it because IT WORKS. My sinuses are so much better, and I'm no longer coughing incessantly. Right from the start, this product works, at least for me.

I've been taking this to combat histamine intolerance the last couple years and it's hands down the best solution I've found.

I love this stuff! It really works to get rid of excess mucous in my sinuses. I quit taking it for awhile and discovered that I needed it again and when I started taking it, all the unwanted excess "liquid" went away. It really helps during times of seasonal allergic reactions!

I decided to give this product a try after doing a whole lot if research about my symptoms.3 years ago i developed a type of chronic urticaria called Dermographism, since then I get hives everytime I scratch or do some pressure over my skin.But I also get some random hives when no pressure has been made on my skin. I notice they usually come when I'm having trouble digesting my food.Trying to come up with a common culprit I read about stomach acid and digestive enzymes deficiencies.I also noticed I mostly get this problem after eating starchy carbs. So I finally made the connection and decided to supplement with amylase because it's more than likely my lifelong diet full of sugar and processed carbs left me with deficiencies of this enzyme.Well, I went and took my first capsule on a empty stomach; my stomach hurt a bit on that day. By the second day, a couple of hours after taking the second pill I developed the most horrendous stomach pain I've had in years. I stopped taking them immediately.After I recover (it took me a week on cabbage juice to heal) and made sure my stomach was healed I tried them again with less severe but equally uncomfortable results.I then decided taking a pills with high starch meals. It certainly helps digesting the carbs very quickly but I still get stomach pain that eventually leads to gastritis if I keep insisting.I'm very sad this didn't work for me, I was hopping I'd finally find a solution for my problem.Meanwhile I drastically reduced starch in my diet and am trying with other digestive enzymes to see how it goes. Sadly I haven't found other brands of amylase only supplement.
