I would recommend that you just take a scheduled dose of the antihistamine of your choice every day for the next couple of months. Your mast cells are primed to trigger(they are the cause of this stuff)--histamine is the trigger. If you block the receptors by taking the pill daily for a couple of months, the receptors (which are upregulated and increased in these conditions), essentially get a chance to normalize and settle down.
It's not forever for almost all people, just a couple of months. Scout's honor.
Antihistamines won't be likely to hurt you. Take zyrtec, 10mg, 2 pills every morning, and benadryl for breakthrough hives, 25-50mg every 4-6 hours as needed.
