You mention yeast infections and that caused a bell to ring. I think that if you changed your diet to incorporate plain yogurt, the kind that states that it has different types of lactobacillus LIVE bacteria in it and do not consume sugars of any kind, that your hives may disappear. Read all labels as many food products have hidden sugars (yeast feeds on sugars); flavoured yogurts, ketchup, peanut butter, etc, there are literally hundreds. Sodas are particularly bad because of corn syrup.
Then take a close look at hygiene products such as shampoo, soaps, bodywash, etc. They frequently contain sulfates and sulfates cause hives. Try baby shampoo and plain, non scented soap and use baking soda as a deodorizer instead of the commercial kind. Hope this helps.
