HI Val,

My allergies have practically disappeared. It's like a miracle to me. I have severe excema as well as seasonal allergies (hayfever, etc). I used to get itchy, watery eyes and a lot of sinus trouble. Also occasionally some coughing and breathing problems.

I've been on Atkins now for two springs and have not had any allergy symptoms. Nor in the fall. My excema has also cleared up.

I am taking essential fatty acids, along with Vit E and C and my multi. I also suspect I had an allergy to either wheat or gluten as I when I eat these foods my skin issues do return (though not nearly as bad).

Good luck!
