Try adding vitamin C to your supplements... it's a mast cell stabilizer and will help you absorb iron.  

Most fruits and vegetables are anti-inflammatory.  Fresh, grass-fed meat and organic eggs are good too.  If you can tolerate them, supplements like turmeric, garlic, and fish oil are good... but I would use them cautiously since they're blood thinners (and fish is a common allergen).  Healthy fats like olive oil, canola oil, coconut, walnut oil, etc... are good too.  Also... try to minimize carbohydrates, although I know that's easier said than done when you're really reactive

I've been taking time release (the tablets ARE huge), but I remember taking some chewable tablets in the past when I felt a cold coming on... I'll see what I can find.  Are you ok with rose hips as an additive?

I have used Emergen-C, but not for a few years.  It has a bunch of other vitamins and minerals (and fructose)... which I think is why I stopped.  I don't remember having a bad reaction to it though.

ps - I found a bunch of chewable tablets on Amazon like "Daily C."  The one I used, by Country Life, does have rose hips... not all of them do
