Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Allergic Reaction With Itching And Hives

My husband had a severe allergic reaction in January of this year. It took 7 weeks before his hives and itching went away. They continued even on steroids and 100 - 150 mg of Benadryl a day. All of a sudden the hives quit and his abdomen swelled overnight. (two pants sizes) He s been battling the swelling and abdominal pain now for 8 weeks. All of his blood work has come back clean and CT scan looked good. He went to a rheumatologist and he ran blood work and said everything looks normal except his white blood count is elevated. He hurts to move, not an appetite because it hurts more to have a full stomach. Any suggestions?
