Post to ICUS forum

I have had anaphalactoid type reactions in the past to the following products, but this was before I developed CU (only had that for about 2 months)


 

Weight loss products:

Optislim

protein shake for dieting( forgot name)

Ovaltine Low joule variety

I thought it might be the maldextrin in these products or possibly soy. Needless to say I haven't had them since experiencing these symptoms about 18 months ago.


 

and cosmetic products as follows

make up remover wipes

sunscreen

lipsticks

hair gel or fudge


 

The symptoms were itchy all over, especially around the eyes, cramping bowel spasms and/or diarrhoea, dizziness/ low BP, tingling all over and muscle pains in arms and legs. I also get these symptoms from exercise too but not all the time.


 

Just thought I'd add this because someone may be able to enlighten me further
