I use to get very bad angioedema to some foods and most hard pill forms of medicines, changed to capsules and gelcaps, did away with most meds including Omeprazole which I now only take occasionally and I take probiotics before meals and when taking any new pills and that seems to have gotten my situation under control for the most part, you all might wish to start on probiotics, I feel the stomach is where most allergic reactions start.
You all likely have Candida overgrowth.
Most food allergies are due to Candida overgrowth.
Candida can mess up the body and the organs such as to cause a lot of diseases.
Doctors are clueless. Even Allergists are clueless.
Look at this: Candida symptoms

from there you can start to figure out the issue. Good luck!
I tried probiotics for a long while and didn't see any improvement.
I'm currently taking Zyrtec and Pepcid every day and that's helping a lot. I haven't had any more reactions that were too bad to treat with an albuterol inhaler and benadryl.

Pepcid I believe stops stomach acid, I have found we need stomach acid to prevent attacks but each of us is different, so what works for me, may not work for you. According to my doctor we are not supposed to take acid blockers 7 days a week, so maybe talk to your doctor about only taking the Pepcid when you need it.

Pepcid blocks the release of histamine in the stomach. It's a H2 blocker.
Just adding my 2 ¢ worth... my mother has Chrone's disease, as well as arthritis, and in her old age has developed a number of new food allergies. Her immune system just seems to turn on her in arbitrary ways. I've wondered if it's all connected. Anyway, just a thought. Sorry to hear what you're going through, it has certainly complicated things for you. But, at least there are still many things that you aren't allergic to...

It inhibits acid.
