Red hives and shortness of breath

[Dietless]

For the last 3 years, whenever I eat red meat or pork of any kind, doesn't matter whether it's organic or not, I break out with hives beginning on the inner thigh area and spreading to stomach and arms. I feel I can't breath.  I know when I'm going to have an attack, because my hands will get red and itchy. I will take Benedryl and the symptoms will go away within an hour or 2, depending on the severity.  What brought this on?

Wow. Meat Hugh? Interesting. Alot of people may beneift from that info. I never considered being allergic to meat only Shrimp, veggies, perfumes, outside stuff, material things.Did a ***** test show this? Do you think it is addditive or perservitive? I think sometimes they use red food coloring in meats to give them a pretty red look. I can't answer your questions. Sorry. Maybe someone here can help.

I've tried organic raised thinking it was the preservatives or harmones that farmers inject, but I still break out.  I haven't been tested, but planning to do that.  Thanks any way.

First time post for me. All of you who are having hives and shortness of breath, PLEASE GO TO THE E.R. I had hives my whole life, a few here and there. I never knew I good DIE. I broke out and my husband went to the store to get benadyrl. Thank God, my daughter was home. I just passed out and stopped breathing. I never had the feeling that I couldn't breath. My husband got home and started mouth to mouth, while my daughter was calling 911. My blood pressure was so low, it was unbeliveable. My point is, after many visits to the allergist, and testing, I am never without my epi pin. Every reaction you have after the first one is worse. Benadryl does not always continue to work. I have met people at the Dr. office who used their benadryl and still stopped breathing. Please take this serious.
