I'm just figuring out now that I very likely have histamine intolerance after quite a few years of not only digestive issues but many other symptoms that have come and gone. I will say one thing that I've noticed that really helps me and will not likely be very popular. When I give up coffee/caffeine I notice a big difference in how I feel. More calm as caffeine triggers a fight/flight response, but I am also able to steadily increase the variety of the foods I can tolerate. Also, I will add, I've tried decaf, because I do like the taste of coffee with some cream or half and half. But I have an even worse reaction to decaf. And just in case you're thinking it's the dairy I'm reacting to and not the coffee, I know I can tolerate dairy without the coffee because I've had it when off coffee. I make a yogurt with half and half and even kefir without adverse reactions. Kefir is especially high in histamines. But I've had no issues in the past when stress levels are down. My life is stressful rn. My significant other has been recently dx'd with mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Coffee is my last unhealthy coping mechanisms. I have CPTSD (Complex Post Traumatic Stress Syndrome) myself and my entire life has been full of stress. I have used a lot of unhealthy coping strategies; cigarettes, alcohol, weed and junk food. One by one I've had to give them up because of the pain they've caused, that I'm now figuring out is likely histamine intolerance. I mean it's just as well of course. But those substances carry their own adverse effects and likely contributed to the histamine intolerance themselves. My body is now telling me it's past due I now give coffee the boot as well. And despite the reactions it gives me, I'm having a heckuva time quitting it.

Thank you much But what do you say at 17:39

Do you have anything on progesterone intolerance? I believe that I have progesterone intolerance I was on benzodiazepine for 12 years. I did not have PMDD that bad but once I have came off it has turned into really bad before I would just get me now my body doesn’t want to live when I start my period I have severe histamine intolerance. I don’t think my functional doctor knows how to treat this. It is a male. He just keeps trying to give me progesterone and that just keeps making me more depressed and anxious.

I want you as my doctor

How do you raise histamine levels? Mines are low.

Please do a transcript…easier to understand you.

Do you accept patients from US

Can’t thank you enough

is there a relationship between MCAS / HI and Pyrrole disorder ?

I thank you ! Very grateful for you and information. Very helpful !!!

Well done.

Can a person take Sam-e or histamine block plus at night? Sam-e makes me really tired

I feel good for about a week and a half after my period. In that time I may crave sour foods. But when closer to ovulation, I don’t tolerate sour food - I get acid reflux. Why is this and how could I plan using HCI in my cycle?

Hi, this is great info. I did the doctors data methylation panel, and my SAM:SAH ratio is .3 when the low range is 4 I believe. I have very low SAM, very high SAH, and kind of high homocysteine. Where do you think this cycle is breaking down for me? Thanks so much

Thankyou ,I had mycotoxin and its left me with all of this do you suggest any medication or should I just do it all with food.

Oh my God , I discovered this in my clinical practice and never heard anyone before talked about this

Very good information! Pitty any Canadian Doctors won't talk about this! they will instead prescribe Statins or worst! Shame.

Please correct my spelling: "Dow enzyme"? Another: "Toxipreven"?

I heard you mention berberine but not sure if it is a thing you would recommend to address histamine/oxalates issues?

Don't be dumb you need to eat food

Sulfur foods cause my eczema. Apparently, I have too many sulfur priducing bacteria in my gut. I'm certain I have SIBO and candida. I was born 3 months premature in 1968 and formula fed. First cow's milk formula had a bad effect on me, so they switched me to soy. My dad is a sadistic pedo psychopath, and my mom was jealous of his attention to me and she attacked and beat me a lot. So I have severe PTSD from all of that. Then I had 8 mercury amalgam fillings in my teeth. And then I took daily oral Tetracyclene antibiotics for acne from age 17 to age 22. Being a single mom working 30 degrading poverty wage jobs where I was horribly bullied during my adult life, getting only 2 hours of sleep a night was also horribly stressful to the point I almost suicided a few times. Now I am sworn single for life, as my three exes were abusive and the last one was a stalker. And I am living on Disability. And I am on the carnivore diet, trying to reclaim my gut from the candida and SIBO takeover.

My level was is 5.7

Love your videos, Joanne!! Thank you for your ongoing efforts to educate a public that has been so misled and deceived on matters of health. In addition to what you just explained about vitamin A, I wondered if you were aware of the research showing that supplements of B12 have also been shown to contribute to acne, as they have been shown to alter the transcriptome of the skin microbiome, causing them to produce porphyrins (= photo-induced inflammation!) instead of their usual corrins (pyroles containing cobalt).

I had histamine intolerance still do to some degree. Saw a naturopath worked out I had methane sibo/ leaky gut. Did low histamine diet, took quality supplements n herbs n I can now say 6 months after this protocol I’m essentially cured!

Does it follow that it assists with perimenopause too?

Great infomation, thank a lot!

Hi, can someone tell me if chaga mushrooms constitutes a risky elements for developing kidney stones? I do not assume any dairy for the calcium, but I am not sure if that's related, thank you Joanne

I also get horrible doom and derealization in addition to the anxiety and anxiety attacks Also I’m b12 deficiency but when I take b12 it causes more histamine issues (taking methylcobalamin)

Hi Joanne. How do you check which of these is the cause for each individual? Are there certain clues that point you in the right direction or would you need to run several diagnostic tests?

Hi @joannekennedy . Thanks for the info! Do you have a link for your e book? I am having a hard time finding it on your website. Thanks!

This was never an issue for me until recently-was taking an herb for too long that was high oxalate and eating foods that were high oxalate, was battling Candida and Gastritis. Why is everyone suffering so much with gut issues now? I cook and lean pescatarian. Honestly, it is a real drag not being able to eat freely.

Any thoughts on men with estrogen dominance and histamine problems?

What about me? I'm post menopausal.

I really loved your presentation. However, I think your video should get more exposure and I guess I can help you with this. Can we discuss this further?

This is great! Ive been on a low histamine diet for months and it stopped my migraines but i feel dizzy, my eyes feel" annoying" and my head is like floating. I didn't know all this information, I will ask my doctor (i also have anxiety) thanks!!

Can you pls explain how can premenopause cause histamine intolerance ?

🙏wonderful presentation and summary on Methylation. I am super excited to learn about vitamin b6 deficiency could be a contributing factor to Oxalate buildup in the body. I think Oxalate is one of those nefarious toxins that many do not know about but is the cause of many many ailments. I am planning to do some mega dosing of vitamin b to see how it improves Methylation. I think the lack of vitamin b like Thiamine could be one of the causal factors for many neurological challenges faced by the elderly. Many thanks for your contributions 🙏

You are so right about oxalates. I had all those symptoms before starting a low oxalate diet.

What? So basically living causes death. Naturopaths invent diseases so they can make money. 😊

I am dying due to this deadly disease

My histamine is low and norepinephrine and epinephrine and serotonin. I have anxiety and insomnia and exhaustion. Any suggestions ?

what if i have allergies to a lot of things? could that be causing acne as well? since histamine is very active on allergic people

I have been on carnivore about 4 months now i have a terrible rash. So unbarable im eating carbs again trying to get rid of this rash. I tried to add about 60 mg of oxalates didnt seem to help. No doctors know about this.

👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

I’ve been carnivore for 5 months but have broken a few times and ended up so sick again. I was reported over 5 years back that I had high oxalates. I was eating all organic super foods and had the worst health ever. Getting IV’s iron and was deficient in my B’s. If only people can understand this more. I believe the greater population has high oxalates and histamine levels. Look at all the underlying health problems and inflammation with just about everyone. It all starts here

How do we reduce histamine effects? I’ve gone fully carnivore now but my pmdd symptoms have been awful so far (Two menstrual cycles in).

Hi! Where is the research for this? Looking to find out more!

People on most part, just think they have regular Sinus allergy; when they may actually have a deeper pollen histamine issue, of Histamine Intolerance. I HAve Histamine Intolerance. THEy told me back when, 1 in 4 million get it. HOWever i things the odds are greater than that; due to my doctor in a 100 mile radius, was seeing 8 patients with it.. odds to me means that more than 1 in 4 mill get it. Longs your eating or drinking high histamine things, or a lot of less histamine things.. or breath it if chemicals.. your gonna stay sick. YEs chemicals, are made of many high histamine things, not all but majority are. Allergist stated he never seen a humans histamine so high; in a live patient. Other doctors had me on histamine feeding meds to cure me, they added to my histamine levels for ten years; near killing me, an never sent me to an allergist before their prescriptions was issued to me. Allergist was peed off.. let me tell ya. HE took me off the Inhaler, which they never even proved i had COPD to give it too me.. An the Sudafed, an Benadryl taken from me by Allergist too(All three were scripted then,, all three were high histamine meds.. I got off their stuff, an started searching out on topic of Histamine Intolerance an.. found was suppose to been on a diet for.. neither Doctor ever mentioned. IT took me trial an effort, to figure out high dose, to low dose histamine food sources/an drink. HAd internet cam along sooner for info search; maybe i been better off sooner than later? Rural areas had small info selection in libraries back then. Anyway. BEst way helped self.. as a chem ical issue basically.." Boy in PLAstic Bubble-Travolts.. (Always said i am the hirl in plastic bubble.. almost. we have to remove self from high histamine scents.. as well as from high histamine food an drink. I Choose to go in places that are almost empty; so eat when places are slow. Stopped going to church, because they clean with high histamine things.. Bleach, Ammonia, pine-sol.. an more.. they are my top three peeves chem wise.. but.. foods really get me is Okra, MAngo, PApaya.. as said more bigger the seed, more the histamine.. an if lower in histamine, but large the seed also effects. AN small the seed, but many also effects. I Do not think even Doctors really understand the Histamine Intolerance.. or the Diabetes. I took a different approach to diabetes, they were killing me with their way too on diabetes,. So many years me doing this on my own will.. a woman Doctor on TEd, started doing as i done for myself.. I AM no longer lethargic an sleep all the time.. I Can do things again. I Am far less sick, than i use to be.IF have HIT, them stop all the RooM Deodorizers an scented candles.. they full of plant stuff high in histamine. Even Perfumes an cologne.. deodorants..etc.. USE natural things.. try to smell them, if any reaction to know.. or immediate headache or.. dont get it. IF cannot smell via how its wrapped pass it by. I use to by, if a problem with it; i 'd give it too family to use. Economy so High now, i cannot afford to buy if possible cannot use it. Even Clothes Detergents,, shampoo's etc.. watch what your buying. BUY Scent free.. or natural . Preservative's usually are high histamine. IF your getting headaches or migraines at gas pump; your having histamine issue,, Smelling petroleum products. LISt too long to name, then each person might not be exact the same issues.
