While this combination is common, that does not mean it’s normal. I consider all of these to be forms of atopy (heightened immune response to common allergens), and they can all be an indication that the immune system is dysregulated. Start by reducing allergens (experiment with eliminating gluten/dairy/eggs, set up dust mite covers & air filters, transition to natural personal care & cleaning products), then focus on gut healing, and get the body juicey with nutrient-dense anti-inflammatory foods like bone broth, cod liver oil, turmeric, ghee, and plenty of veggies. Re-calibrate the immune system by getting some exposure to beneficial bacteria and (roundup-free) dirt. There is a path forward.
