I’m shouldn’t have ice cream due to my Type 2 diabetes, but once in a while, I stop at Mc Donalds and get myself a McFlurry with M&M’s. I get a bit sick later, but I find it worth it.

I went to my doctor about it too! She was convinced it was something I was physically in contact with so I was trying to eliminate types of fabrics, changing detergents, soaps, my cleaning gloves, wearing shea infused gloves at night, etc etc and at the same time I was eating dark chocolate nearly every night. I finally cut back in an effort to lose some weight and the rashes got better. Someone somewhere in my searches mentioned the nickel thing and it all clicked. You can search for “systemic nickel sensitivity” and “dietary nickel and dermatitis” and see if it sounds like what you’re dealing with. If so, I’m glad I could help!
Literally going through eliminating sources of contact dermatitis right now, and I’m getting rashes where it makes no sense for contact dermatitis. Genuinely thank you so much, you may have saved me ANOTHER YEAR of frustration!
I’m so glad I could put you onto a new lead!
Here’s a paper I found that has some good info, especially the Dietary Nickel section. It has a food table under the treatment section too.
You’re a doll, and I wish you a chocolate-filled future with no rashes 🥹
Iron supplements, vitamin C and moderation all help so hopefully no need to give it up entirely 💜
