It's probably because I was ingesting an ungodly amount of it on a regular basis. I thought it was completely safe. Hope I didn't ruin it for life for me if that's the case. :(

I went from barely itching to my left armpit and arm as well as my waistband being on fire after I ate. Usually by this time of day I had been scratching like mad before I ate, so I never made the corrolation. I've even got some hives that popped up on my arms now even though I didn't scratch them.
I think it's possibly the seasoning I'm using for my rice/vegetables.

I had a bottle of it about a year ago and loved it but it ran out. Had my old man pick up two bottles for me.
What I loved about it was that it had so little sodium in it compared to other Cajun blends that I go quite a bit heavier on the amount recommended. I've used it 90% of the days since around New Years day.
It's going to be a huge bummer if that's the culprit, because I love how it tastes. :(
But it's better if it's the spice and not the brown rice.
Thoughts???
m allergic to eight foods (that were tested positive: rice, beef, tomato, potato, lettuce, orange, coffee, and one other that I forget) and one other thing I suspect (eggplant, in the same family as tomato/potato). I figured out I was allergic to foods and should prolly be tested by eating nothing but chicken for a couple of days and having the symptoms miraculously disappear.
We had a friend go out to Indian food with us and had Scotch afterwards, and he broke out in hives that night. We were convinced it was the mango lassi but it turned out to be barley and onions.
I suppose you could try a similar elimination diet for a couple of days and see if it gets better. Food allergies are very hard to suss out, so instead of trying to eliminate one thing at a time (you might be allergic to multiple things) if you're going to try it, I'd do as complete diet revamp as possible.

I've consumed literally only 7 different things in the last few weeks, if you include the spice. 9 in total if you consider each vegetable in the combo packs separately.
2 of those I haven't had since the hives showed up because I ran out. Another one ran out 2 days ago.
If it's a food allergy, it should be EXTREMELY easy for me to figure out what is causing it.
I'm leaning VERY heavily toward the spice, but it could be anything I was eating I guess. It's almost certainly in my food because the bout of itchiness was triggered almost immediately after I finished eating after an entire day that was almost uneventful. I didn't give in this time and scratch, so it was the first night I went to bed without welts everywhere. (Although some did just pop up spontaneously on their own... perhaps triggered just from my clothing).
A bit of itchiness still remains this morning, but that's not out of the ordinary.
I still eat within only a 4 hour period on any given day, so now that I've not been scratching myself during the day it was very noticeable that it got worse almost immediately after eati

You can also be allergic to coffee.

DON'T YOU SAY THAT. DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT!!!!!!
If that's the case, it might just be this shit coffee that I drink from Aldi right now to save a buck. I don't 'think there's actually much coffee in it at all.
Have you ever read that this is a thing? A lot of the cheaper coffees out there put shit like sawdust in their brews. Even brand names.
EDIT:

Oh yeah.... I forgot that soy and wheat is on that list of contaminates in cheap coffee. I might not be soy/gluten free for the last 4 or so months...
Shit.

I'm sorry. It's just I know that people have tested positive for coffee ... real coffee too ... the good stuff.

Nah. It's cool. I seriously doubt it's the coffee. I practically live on that stuff all day long. It wasn't until 10 or 15 minutes after I ate dinner late last night that the symptoms came out in force again. It's got to be something in the food I'm eating.

Still drinking coffee and everything is copacetic.
Minor (hopefully) residual itching sensations persist today but are nowhere near as bad as after I ate last night/early morning.
I'm going grocery shopping and I will pick up more of what had run out and I don't believe is problematic as well as take my time to look around and add a little variety to my diet. It won't be the end of the world if I can't use that spice anymore, but it's going to make the gluten free lifestyle a little more challenging if it turns out that it's a rice allergy.
I'm going to completely change what I eat the next few days and see if I can get the symptoms to stop. Then I'll slowly introduce all the other things back into my diet one by one without the spice. Maybe in a few weeks I'll try the spice again, but only in very limited quantities instead of 10 or more times the serving size.
Fingers crossed.
