Sx:
- He is very uncomfortable in his body whenever he eats anything- he feels massively bloated and has been experiencing more frequent hives and eczema.
- He thinks the eczema may be coming from the cleaning products used on the mats and floors at his yoga studio, but the hives are unexplained.
- His diet is very restrictive and any time he strays from it (potlucks, parties, restaurants) he finds himself experiencing gas, bloating, diarrhea/ “quick evacuation” and hives on his inner arms, inner wrists, inner thighs, and backs of his knees.
Hx:
- He is vegan and has been on a highly restrictive diet that is gluten free, dairy free, soy and corn free, sugar free for the past 3 years.
- He practices intermittent fasting and starts every day with warm lemon water.

- There is a dry cleaner and a high end artist’s paint store a few doors down from his apartment.
He lives on a highly trafficked road.
