I have noticed that salty foods don't taste good, and most of the food I usually eat tastes funny, even water, so I just eat whatever I should eat, after asking my husband if it tastes right. Also I have found that soaking in very dilute bleach water helps a lot. We will be working on this diet as well but right now we are using Benadryl, Zantac, and Triamcinalone cream. The antihistamines really dry us out so we have to remember to drink a lot of fluids and use a lot of lotion. The Zantac, though it is manufactured and advertised for indigestion, is an antihistamine, and is an H2 blocker, while Benadryl is an H1 blocker. For me the Benadryl was not getting the job done, so I switched to Zantac. I eventually ended up using both on quite aggressive doses and if I watch my diet it works pretty well. If I get a new breakout I got Triamcinalone from my Dr, and that calms down the little monsters pretty well. OK now I have talked your ears off but some of this is really helpful for my husband and me and I know how impossible it is to get through the day or night.
