Default Re: Natural equivalent to Benadryl?

I know there are lots of stuff that can help the symptoms to an allergic reaction but since most of them my kids are allergic to themselves I was hoping there was something I could feed them that would help their body as it was going through the reaction.

I dont want them to develop a resistance to Benadryl since they are having to take it so much while we are trying to figure things out.
I think I read in passing here that garlic and Vitamin C might be one of those things (antihistimines) but I wanted to be sure and see if there was anything else.

It would be nice to be able to just add lots of garlic and up there Vitamin C so if they eat something unknown that causes a reaction their body will be able to get over the reaction easier, saving me from having to give them a tsp of benadryl.

Im not trying to hide the symptoms to an allergic reaction to continue feeding them the allergin but trying to make the symptoms not so hard on them until I can figure out the allergin.Kwim? Symptoms being the usual allergic reactions to foods.

Then I could save the Benadryl for the tight throat only instead of for the allergy fits they get where they have no control over their pottying, stomach pains, headaches, itchiness, rashes, blisters, hives,etc........

I hope im typing this out right, kids are kind of everywhere right now
