What Causes Diarrhea, Itchiness In The Hand And Red Blotches On The Skin?
I had an episode of anaphylaxis , thought to be caused by a new medicine. Was taken off of it. Two months later had a similar episode but milder. Sudden diarrhea, faintness, itching of hands, body covered in red splotches, shaking. Normal, or slightly elevated B/P. Again last night, experienced same thing. Mostly passed in about an hour. No needed epipen, no breathing problems. Basic blood work is normal.

Hello,
The symptoms seem to be related to a food allergy. I suggest doing the food allergy tet for more information.
Meanwhile, I suggest using antihistamines such as Cetirizine daily. I also suggest using daily probiotics and Pedialyte solution. I recommend to drink liquids and eat a plain diet.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
