Sneezing, nasal congestion, and red eyes and often itchy skin are the norm for those struggling with allergies. Allergic conditions including allergic rhinitis and conjunctivitis as well as eczema are often related to outdoor environmental triggers such as pollen, indoor triggers such as dust mites, and dietary triggers. Identifying specific triggers can often be difficult. Advanced Laboratory testing can be very helpful in these cases. Though medication is sometimes needed temporarily to alleviate allergy symptoms, changes in diet and lifestyle can be extremely helpful, as can addressing specific gastrointestinal issues.
