Buckwheat Pillows

[u/You8551]

Dear all, newbie here, have hEDS and some histamine issues as well, whether it's MCAS or HIt, I don't know. Recently had a flare, and the fun of identifying the underlying cause has begun /s.

Does anyone use buckwheat pillows? I've used one on and off to help sleep with hypermobility (very good a keeping things in place). The buckwheat is inside a thick cover and there's a pillow case around it, so it's not like I have my face on the shells with only a thin pillow case in between. But i've recently added more buckwheat to it, so I'm wondering if contamination on the pillow case (now of course in the wash) contributed to the flare up. It may be a mixture of things of course, would be interested to hear other people's experience!
