[Byhevans]

Has anyone had or heard of Allergic Reaction to acai berry supplement, characterized by hive-like skin eruptions?

I was taking the Monavie stuff for a while and didn't have any problem but if I broke out in hives I would stop for sure.......try the benedryl and some cortizone for the itching, it's bound to go away if it was an allergy.

  Al lot of ACAI berry suppliments have various herbs in them also. So it could from anything in the formula. I would stick to the real thing. The only problem is that ACAI Berry juice costs about $40 a bottle. But you are only supposed to drink 2 ounces in the morning and an ounce at night.

If you are allergic to one thing, you might as well be allergic to another. So it could very well be that you are allergic to the acai berry itself, like you are allergic to strawberries.

I hope the symptoms will go away very soon. Good luck

Well, I received and took my first ACAIburn supplement today around 2:00 p.m.  Well, here I am at 2:30 a.m.--12 hours later--up typing on the computer because I am up itching.  I looked in the mirror and have hives, big welts, broken out on various parts of my body. Scalp is itching pretty bad as well as my hands.  I have taken a dose of Benedryl, but I see from previous articles that may not work.  Hope it does on me.  This is freaking me out!  Hope it goes away soon. Guess I won't be taking any more of that. I can't think of anything I'm allergic to, but I guess this is the first.

I started on the Acai Berry 1200 3 weeks ago after reading all the praises it got on the Websites.I also was singing its praises until I broke out in hives, bumps and itching from top to bottom and I mean bottom. I've been berry free for 4 days now but the itching has not gone away.Neither have the bumps and hives.I'm taking Zyrtec now in hopes it might help.
Sad thing is that I really felt I was losing weight and had more energy but its not worth what I'm going through now.Any suggestions on what to do about the hives and itching?

I started the acai berry capsule on Monday. I am already on Zyrtec and Singulair for allergies and asthma. I have alot of allergies to meds, perfumes, colognes, laundry soap, air freshners, anything from the ocean, cats, pollen and ragweed. I noticed I was starting to itch on Tuesday night. Well by Thursday I was covered in hives everywhere. By Thursday night I had to use 2 Epi-Pens, 100mg of Benedryl, Albuterol inhaler and start a 10mg dose pack of Prednisone. My eyes were swollen shut, my throat was swelling shut and OMG the itching. It was like I had eaten shrimp or crablegs. I have open oozing sores all over my arms, stomach and legs. I am taking 100mg of Benedryl every 4 hours and the Prednisone is for 12 days. My skin is still really bright red. I am still wheezing and coughing. I am drinking lots of water to try and flush it out of my system. I am not allergic to any other berry or fruit. This has been a horrible experience. I thought I would die during the night. I was awake all night because of the itching and difficulty breathing. This morning I had to take a nebulizer treatment to help. People be careful.
I also wanted to add that my blood pressure went from 130/80 to 88/66 and my heart rate went up to 107 while laying down. This is why I used my Epi-Pen, I was going into anaphylactic shock. BTDT!
