Just curious, this is a bit out there but did you guys with allergies have c-section births? I did and I think that factored into the severity of my allergies as a kid. You miss out on the vaginal wash full of healthy bacteria. There's a few NCBI papers showing correlations between chronic diseases, such as allergies and asthma with c-section births.
I had a c section birth and I have mild asthma, hayfever and atopic eczema (which is quite bad)
Does anyone else take vitamin C to help with allergies? I remember watching on a movie about vitamins that high doses of vitamin C can help with alergies.

Yeah I use vitamin C powder most days. Trader joe's has 1lb for ~$10. I haven't noticed it helping my baseline allergies, perhaps it has, but I haven't gotten sick in months and whenever I start feeling under the weather I up the amount of vitamin C and it seems to knock down most allergy-induced colds/sore throats etc. I think the movie you mentioned is about orthomolecular medicine and mega-dosing vitamin C to fight off a range of unrelated illnesses such as mono and even cancer. It's quite interesting stuff. If you're not taking vitamin C yet, I'd recommend getting some bulk powder and giving it a try.
