I had an allergy to certain types of grasses. I changed my diet a bit to try and alter my gut flora alongside not avoiding the grasses. The allergy is significantly less/not noticable & far more tolerable. I even stopped antihistamines.

I had great success by doing intermittent fasting (I don't do it anymore). I had pollen, grass allergies, various food intolerance. I couldn't eat plums, grapes, figs, cherries, even bananas. My throat would get sore and lips swell.

After changing my diet and doing intermittent fasting for about a year I completely cured myself. I haven't grass allergy in more than 5 years. I can eat any fruit without any signs of discomfort.

Could you describe your diet? What kind of food did you stop and start eating?
No meat, reduced on sweet stuff, pastries.
