Resolution of my Histamine Intolerance

For many years I had a histamine intolerance induced skin issue which produced rather prominent red welts on my face.
That skin issue is now largely gone.
Again, I go back to the concept of grounding and how PRI addresses this issue.
As my vision and feet have now been addressed, my ability to sense the ground and pronate has increased.
As a result, my tension has decreased.
My guess is that my inability to sense the ground led to years and years of increased tension. Actually, this I'm completely sure of.
In turn, this increased tension drove excessive inflammation, as I reacted to foods and oils that under normal circumstances I would not have.
As my sympathetic nervous system tension decreased, so has my reactivity to those same foods and oils that used to make me break out.

For those who are confused: He started with his histamine story which sounded like certain foods was placing extra strain on his body. Then he went into his story about taking care of the extra tension on his body. Conclusion, by elimating the major thing that was putting his body out of balance, the foods he was experiencing the most issue with no longer caused as much of an issue. If ur body is comprimised, it can affect other systems. Now his body can put more emphasis on day to day functions, and what was once a major issue is not so much so. He found the root cause to his ailments. Hopefully that helps.

Interesting video. The fact you're a detective is very good and will serve you well. I'm older and I can't tell you how many food and environmental issues I've had and figured out like you have over the years. The way I reacted to the environment, and what works has changed over the years. One thing I discovered that was a root cause or exacerbated a whole bunch of issues was water-damaged buildings (or older buildings pier/beam, etc). 25% of the population reacts adversely to moldy buildings.

I too have noticed the correlation between posture correction and histamine intolerance. As my posture worsened I became a classic spring allergy sufferer (I did skin prick test, so it's 100% confirmed). This didn't make sense to me at first but as the symptoms occurred only for a few months of the year, so I always ignored it and kept focusing on the posture which was giving me so much more trouble. Long story short, although the pollen concentration in the area in the spring period remained the same, my pollen allergy magically vanished after getting better with my posture. Also, now I no longer need to take antihistamines which also caused to me some side effects such as brain fog.

[@NealHallinan]

Awesome. I started getting bad allergies for a few years....now they are gone.

@@bcorreal I might have been wrong and I think this channel means PRI postural restoration institute. From this video I learned that tending to some comfort assistance can aid in healing. Like anything that irritates you try to relieve. Wearing the right glasses, wearing insoles with real arch supports, don't spend 2 days in bed all day (get up and move some), take supplements regularly, cut out itchy tags from your shirts, relieving allergy symptoms, identify irritated skin and sooth the rash. I have fibromyalgia so without a cure I finally decided to chase down symptoms. Along the way I found a low histamine diet is very helpful, if you were interested. But this channel has several videos on a number of posture anomalies concerning pelvic tilts. So they do exercises to correct their posture. I asked some PTs about it but they were not at all helpful for my anterior pelvic tilt. Hope some of this helps.

it's about how your brain processes incoming stimuli. the issue could be "biomechanical" like in OP's case, or it can be biochemical (deficiencies) ... and maybe, like you said, for some it could be neurocognitive but in my experience it happens very rarely and it is way overrepresented in the medical system where they attribute everything they don't understand to "anxiety" just so they can put you on drugs that will cause severe imbalance or at best, send you to years of "therapy". I know many people who went down that route and ended up sicker and sicker.

[@andreygladikov8860]

Thanks for my favorite topic! I’m trying to figure out the same stuff for many years, pri techniques help me tremendously, no doubt. I also made all these weird tests but all is bull crap, just keep each cup not over, a cup of gluten, lactose, and histamine rich foods. Moderation is really key, you can eat everything but mindfully. My last conclusion that I’m on these days is that skin issues come from lungs problems. My left foot and left chain under the left lung just high-jacked (can’t sense the ground). Optics and orthotics also help to ground but don’t solve the root issue with my damaged lung from many years of smoking (10years), breathing in in the very toxic environments, and heavy metal fumes at work in the past. Now when I try to clean out my left lung with quality salts (pink, celtic, etc.) essential oils and cold exposure my skin breaks down very badly. I also figure out how to heal my damaged long thoracic nerve related to left winging scapula and whether foods actually impact the healing process or not. Mostly foods that heal lungs (like hot spices, onions, stringent fruits) cause skin breakdowns like itchy rashes and flare-ups. The least evil in my case in clearing the lung is by breathing through pri techniques, very true

[@skovpen12]

Interesting. Can you share how you clean out the lungs using salts? TIA

[@catherineromero1862]

Interesting. In Chinese medicine, liver is expressed through the lungs. Perhaps a visit with a good acupuncturist and some liver supporting herbs would also help. Just a thought!

Thank you for this. Doctors and friends think I am crazy. I have been dizzy for two months and it started after extreme stress and panic attacks over a break up, moving, child custody changes, heavy drinking ( beer only ) and working outside in the hot summer daily. Thought it was sinus infections, a stroke, etc., but I also started noticing that when I tried to drink even one beer all the sudden my head would feel full and I felt like I had a cold and then horrible headaches, stomach cramps, and the dizziness got worse! Also, the doctor said I am low on magnesium and prescribed over the counter supplements, so i am taking those, but they make me sick so not sure what to do about that. So now I am taking a histamine blocker DOA enzyme ( 4th day) we’ll see! And trying to eat a low histamine diet. Helps but still dizzy or off balance even, but not as bad. I noticed that when I stress out about what is going on the reactions get way worse!!!! So anyway I am going to try to lower stress, work out again, buy new shoes! Grounding etc Also I’m 9th grade I broke out in hives everytime someone would touch me so it became a joke to thump my arm or scratch your name in my arm with your finger nail and wait on the welts to pop up. It would stay for a while. That lasted for months and just went away with no rhyme or reason other than just allergies or hormones or something, but now thinking back.

[@cyberfunk3793]

@@NealHallinan Pretty sure shoes have nothing to do with the root cause, but can be a stessor that triggers the issues. Many things can trigger it but root cause is probably something deeper causing the high histamine in the first place. Mold is one cause I have heard many people mention and another big one is MTHFR gene mutations that cause problems with mehtylation and that ties directly to histamine levels (and levels of other things like dopamine, serotonin etc). Read about that methylation and DAO/HNMT and how one can help that with food and suplements if its the issue.

The weird thing about histamine intolerance is that it affects everyone differently. I didn't have much of a skin issue, but it affected me neurologically (brain fog, poor sleep, muscle twitches).

[@MagikarpPower]

been thinking about this for a few days. stress and trauma can create holes in the blood brain barrier. allergies are related to leaky gut... in a PRI context, your brain believes you are in trouble when you're stuck in a pattern. psychologically this is stressful and can weaken that barrier over time. this may account for the histamine intolerance although I have also considered compensatory muscle use inhibiting proper lymph movement/detox. additionally I think ADHD has quite a bit to do with trauma and can see different neurological effects when consuming certain foods like bone broth and coffee, bc of different mechanics with the blood brain barrier.

[@winxclubstellamusa]

NOO! ADHD is NOT brain fog and mental slowness caused by nutrient deficiencies, yeast, histamine, trauma, etc… that’s EXTREMELY ableist, ignorant, and insulting to say. We are born with the neurodivergence of ADHD which is the same set of genes as autism but expressed differently, and it’s symptoms are having a hyperactive mind a that does not shut up regardless of mood, that gets louder the more quiet the environment is, heightened senses, emotions, and empathy, sensory and auditory processing disorders, limited working memory, time blindness, executive function problems including, and difficulty starting and switching between tasks, and falling in the uncanny valley. And most of us actually get sleepy from stimulants like coffee and adderall, they don’t help at all. And all of that is just the tip of the iceberg. I was born very neurodivergent, and I have also been extremely health conscious and I’ve never eaten processed foods and not taken all of the vitamins and minerals. There is a MAJOR difference between neurodivergence and an unhealthy neurotypical. I’m addition to being born with many neurodivergences I have also developed CPTSD from how extremely traumatizing my childhood and early life was, and I used to have very bad brain fog for many years until I healed it, because the damage that trauma does to the brain is completely reversible, meanwhile, no neurodivergence can be changed. And when my brain was foggy it was still hyperactive!! The automatic voice was still running at hyper speed thinking for and by itself but the active voice was very weak and slow and foggy as was my memory. So once again, the extremely ableist and ignorant rhetoric of diminishing and purposely misunderstanding and spreading lies about the heavily documented neurodivergence of ADHD must end right now. Our lives are already hard enough because of how this neurodivergence is also a disability in every way.

[@MagikarpPower]

@@winxclubstellamusa its not caused by deficiencies, I said it was related to trauma. I have ADHD and I don't think its necessarily a disorder. there's a connection between stress and adhd and also stress and autoimmune. this is the best way I understand myself. my brain also goes a mile a minute and it can be addicted to stimulus, addicted to thinking. going fast is mostly a boon. it just manages to cope with trauma in new and interesting ways. I think some of the symptoms you describe are not necessarily ADHD but a response of the ADHD (aka sensitive) brain to trauma.

[@winxclubstellamusa]

@@MagikarpPower If you don’t fully relate to all of these symptoms then you just have fully reversible post trauma brain damage, not the neurodivergence and disability of ADHD, as ADHD is a BORN and complete brain mutation which must entail all of the symptoms which I stated since the very beginning of life. And neurodivergence CAUSES trauma! Not the other way around. People always bully and abuse us because we are different and we make people feel uneasy because of how we are different in countless, constant, overt and covert ways, even down to the body language. And neurodivergent women like myself are significantly more likely to be hyper-sexualized and sexually harassed and assaulted beginning from very young ages. I was BORN with extremely sensitive ears and eyes that darted around the room, I was never normal. And if you were born normal then whatever happened to parts of your brain is fully reversible, many people have done it. ADHD is NOT an “addiction” to stimuli, it’s the desperate need for it because that’s how our brain is wired! Neurotypicals only fidget when they are nervous, while neurodivergents NEED to stim and fidget and sway in order to prevent not just getting nervous but from panicking, because that is how much we are wired to need sensory stimulation. And I have always been able to hear electricity, and all of the small and loud sounds and actions in a room all at once, where the smaller sounds are actually louder than the loud ones, to the point of the electricity being a sharp, stabbing pain, that used to be excruciating when I was smaller. Auditory and sensory processing disorders plus heightened senses and emotions are an inextricable part of real ADHD. The academics are trying to change the name of this neurodivergence to dopamine disregulation disorder because the term ADHD is not descriptive enough, and does NOT take into account how we react to and process all forms of stimuli differently than the neurotypical, and even have been documented to have different metabolic processes and a higher sensitivity to light than a neurotypical. Your brain is NOT hyperactive brain, nor have you described anything about the ADHD properly at all. You don’t have the neurodivergence of ADHD at all, and even if you were ever diagnosed then you were an obvious misdiagnosis, as 50% of ADHD diagnoses are misdiagnoses, especially those given to children, because doctors refuse to listen, despite everything we say being exceptionally consistent, and the brain scans, academics, and scientists proving that we are telling the truth. The dusregulation and fog that trauma causes are fully reversible, the experts on CPTSD recovery have proven that, meanwhile, no neurodivergence can ever be changed. We are BORN with the brain mutations of dyslexia, autism, Tourette’s, and ADHD, no force or trauma or pill can ever change a neurotypical to a neurodivergent or vice versa. You can look up Michelle Lee Nieves, Pete Walker, and the Crappy Childhood Fairy for first hand accounts and methods of reversing trauma brain damage via strengthening the hippocampus and re-centering the brain back to its original state, whatever that original state was. So for the love of whatever you deem to be holy, PLEASE stop spreading lies about those with my disability, and stop appropriating the name of a back breaking burden which you are blessed to not have been born with. The lives of us neurodivergents are already hard enough, and fighting against ableist and ignorant misinformation like what you just spewed in order to prove that we really do exist only makes it harder.

My skin have changed dramatically I even have scars. It's itching and looks like urticaria. Sometimes is over my entire body. Funny, but the itching it's intense on my knees and ears. I also lost my eyebrows and I'm starting to think it might be histamine, after the past 3,4 years with those issues. None of the doctors I have visited didn't found out what's wrong. I love drinking beer and I have noticed some connection.

Have you checked out your thyroid. Losing eyebrows is one symptom.

[@Maxumized]

Same here. Then one day i read a study on how a specific antihistamine (Zantac) for gastric issues was prescribed off label for psoriasis. A light💡went off in my head that if I tried an antihistamine (Xyzal) that it may have a similar effect and Bingo! My skin cleared up with a week and blotchy skin gone. It makes sense that if you have a system with high levels of histamine that you can at least block its availability on your system.

[@tuulalarson2625]

Covid caused a huge histamine release in my body. It started with an insane itch and urticaria, combined with an electric sound and sensation in my head. Then nausea for three months and fatigue for several months. Huge, itchy red patches appeared on my skin after a while and they have stayed on my body for several months. I ordered DAO (Di Amine Oxidase) enzyme pills that break down histamine and Quercetin, and those red patches disappeared in 5 days after starting taking these two supplements. I also feel much better, after being weak and without energy for months. I had a long period of cognitive problems as well, I couldn´t remember which day of the week it was, and I couldn´t organise or plan anything or find things in my house. After 7 months, I´m not yet over my covid, and I suspect that the start dose of virus was unusually high, because we had unvaccinated workers in my house before the covid. I suffer from birch pollen allergy, food allergies and histamine intolerance. I also found that I´m sensitive to house dust (cat, down blanket?), so the next day after the house cleaning I get painful mouth sores.

I'm certainly not an expert on all that, however gluten and sugar are know to be inflammatory in nature. Some people can't eat much of it. If your body can't handle a certain food, it will cause alarm and likely put you into a state of fight or flight/ tension.

In the past, I suffered from the same symptoms mentioned in the video. I dealt with histamine sensitivity, which caused my eyes to constantly hurt and made me sensitive to cold. After enduring years of pain, I discovered that the issue was tension in my neck alignment, caused by an arch imbalance and a slight thoracic curve.

[@American_Kneeler]

This just sounds like spurious correlation.

[@gerrykollman]

I recently discovered histamine intolerance regarding mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS). As I understand it, mast cells are immune cells in the connective tissues that can release histamines. I have a lot of tension in my body due to poor posture and usage patterns over my lifetime. I believe this elevates histamine levels to the point that dietary histamines interfere with my sleep and digestion, etc. So this video makes sense if this is correct.

[@SolataMetka]

thanks for sharing but what do you think about barefoot footwear?

[@itsBenChang]

From other videos I've watched, stress (cortisol) can be a contributor for histamine intolerance as well. I feel like the tension of not being able to feel the ground was causing extra stress on the body to regulate histamine levels.

[@ianpearson8976]

I cannot prove I have histamine intolerance but I suspect I may have. I have noticed that certain supplements seem to make my mood worse and some alot better and perhaps this is also the case with food too but I don't know which ones. Vitamin c in the sodium ascorbate makes my mood really good and stable immediately whereas vitamin b and some other supplements makes my mood worse. Could it be that the vitamin c lowers my histamine? I seem always to have alot of congestion in the throat and mouth and nose and random skin rashes patches, skin sensitivity . I do eat a ton of chilli and wondering if this makes histamine worse.

[@tuulalarson2625]

Yes, vitamin C has an effect against histamine. I use 1 g of vitamin C daily, it has helped against my urticaria, until it became much worse and I started to take DAO pills.

[@ianpearson8976]

@@tuulalarson2625 i find if i take vitamin c my mood is immediately grounded.if i forget to take this for weeks, months then it seems i really start to over think things like my mind starts becoming like overactive .probably other supplements worsen the situation.The only reason i take sodium ascorbate or make my own with baking soda is that it dissolves alot easier in juice.oddly i measured my ph and find im very alkaline but they constantly tell us we are overly acidic so im not sure what is the reason for that.

[@paulensor9984]

From a foot reflexology chart, the adrenal gland points are in or next to the foot arch area, perhaps this is part of the puzzle of your foot orthotics and histamine response? The adrenal glands produce cortisol, which is a strong anti-inflammatory hormone

[@joshynocones440]

Try a Palaeolithic Ketogenic Diet or a Carnivore Diet. If you aren’t into eating organ meats, look at supplementing with Bovine organ supplements, ideally New Zealand Grass Fed & Grass Finished. Kidney is high in DAO which helps with Histamine Metabolism, as well as having a good balance of micronutrients such as Zinc and Copper. Liver is good too! Do this on top of an animal based diet and you should see some positive results!

[@eliakimjosephsophia4542]

Interesting. When I lived in the sunshine for a year in Australia the skin issue cleared up 95%. I have sugar in black coffee in the mornings and I'm trying to cut it out. If I cut out sugar then I can't drink the coffee. I also think its related to uric acid too because men have higher levels than women prior to women's menopause. Uric acid is elevated if and when a person is stressed although there are other factors. I'm just reading a book by Dr Ben Lynch on histamine intolerance, its a lot to take in with the new science. I'm being checked for any mineral deficiencies too. Although the Human Genome Project discovered that cuts in childhood mutates a gene that then is the cause of allergies and skin conditions. The science for that was published in New Scientist, May 7 issue, 2006.

[@carolangeli1025]

Perhaps stress related hormonal imbalance is the culprit. 3 women in my family got hives with menopause. I’ve been fishy with chronic hives. I have the minimal presentation but I also am on adrenal support and 1 hormone replacement (prior to menopause). I have a couple food sensitivities that can trigger this but stress does too. Even back to the days of college exams. Prolonged pressure or any “insult” to an area can trigger this as well. It’s all so weird. I made new dietary changes to see if this affects my reactions. Too early to tell.

[@joekostka1298]

Having gone through the same histamine intolerance learning curve I feel pretty confident that your issues were and remain primarily food/exposure related, as are mine. I definitely do not discount that there are other environmental, neural and cognitive factors involved, only that diet and exposure are the key ingredients to resolving histamine intolerance. Today I can eat many foods that would cause immediate distress, although I still abstain from coffee, even decaf. Fragrance free glycerin soap, crystal deodorant, beeswax and olive oil are the only things that I use on my skin. One cannot eliminate environmental exposure completely but something as simple as chemical soap or shampoo or skin cream can powerfully affect histamine response, particularly with repeated exposure. So kudos on your successful journey, but don't fool yourself, those intolerances and their causes are all still there in diet and exposure.
