Maybe try a fermented food like non pasteurized sauerkraut. You can make your own easily and craft it to your taste preferences. Lactobacillus is not a default resident in the gut microbiome, so has to be replenished regularly. It is a powerful ally against pathogenic bacteria in the gut by directly competing with and literally poisoning the populations of bacterial overgrowth. Your gut microbiome has an enormous effect on your body in general, but your immune system in particular. It’s likely your allergies were created by living in an extremely clean environment as a child, and those pathways on the mast cells can’t be easily be reprogrammed, however building a healthy body microbiome will help. Throw away your antibacterial soap and hand sanitizer, rinse your hands with water, maybe a little coconut oil after the rinse. The solution to pollution is dilution, and the concentration is the difference between an informed immune system and infection followed by disease. Regarding fruit, it’s mostly just sugar. I’d cut that and add a few cruciferous vegetables. 🥦

I’ve had pickles and pickle juice before. It helped a little with the seasonal allergies. I also was drinking raw kefir. I got some sauerkraut from the store and I eat a little here and there. But after the spring season, everything calms down and I only have phlegm which is super annoying.
Pickles and kefir both usually have a dose of sugar or lactose that can fuel yeast populations in and on your body, yeast isn’t always a problem, but it can be in some cases. Sauerkraut is often sold dead in the store because when it’s active it tends to produce CO2 and pressurize the container. It also is often the case that food safety regulations require pasteurization which defeats the whole purpose of eating it from a microbiome standpoint. Before modern times, everything we ate was active microbiologically, now even the vegetables are triple washed in diluted bleach. It’s no wonder the majority of people are chronically unwell. I wish you success on your journey, hopefully you find sustainable solutions. There has been some success treating allergies with intestinal parasites, usually in life threatening severity cases. It’s an interesting rabbit hole.
