Ive been experiencing skin itching every few days, especially after eating tur dal, chana dal, and similar foods. Theres also swelling and irritation on my skin. I usually take cetirizine when the itching starts, but it makes me feel dizzy afterward. Can you help me figure out what might be causing this and what I can do to stop it?

Here's a step-by-step approach to help you manage this issue:Identifying the Cause1. Food allergy or intolerance: It's possible that you have a food allergy or intolerance to certain legumes like tur dal and chana dal.2. Histamine release: Cetrizine helps alleviate itching, but the dizziness side effect suggests that histamine release might be a contributing factor.Dietary Changes1. Elimination diet: Try removing tur dal, chana dal, and other potential allergenic foods from your diet for 2-3 weeks to see if symptoms improve.2. Food diary: Keep a food diary to track which foods trigger itching and swelling.
