What Causes Histamine Intolerance (and how to overcome it)

[@NourZibdeh]

Eliminating the reasons why your body keeps producing histamine is a better, more effective long-term solution than a low histamine diet. I can help you. Check this link for info on working with me nourzibdeh.com/work-with-me

And now I’m glad to know why my histamine intolerance has increased so much. Unfortunately regular doctors don’t ever think along these lines. I’ve been advised by allergists to just keep using the antihistamines and nose sprays. No one has ever connected my allergies to my IBS. So thank you for your insight.

Could it be that you actually Have chronic uticaria? That causes reactions almost daily and has nothing to do with what you eat bro is it a true allergy. It’s an autoimmune disorder and it can come out of no where, but more so if you always have immune issues like IBS or thyroid issues

After 4 1/2 years of strict carnivore, drinking coffee daily, and an extremely stressful event, I now have histamine intolerance for the first time in my life. Oh-and I overdid fermented foods in an attempt to improve my gut bacteria. What a mistake. If I don’t take a Benadryl at night I don’t sleep, that’s when I’m the itchiest. It’s insane. But I will try to not take it. Thank you for explaining what antihistamines do. And people-stop drinking that poisonous drug, coffee!! It ruins your gut!! (Decaf too) UPDATE: After doing GAPS intro diet for 5 weeks my leaky gut healed and my itching improved but I still was not having good BMs. I was able to stop taking Benadryl but still had to take quercetin. Then I discovered Karen Hurd’s bean protocol and it has been a miracle. It got my bowels moving in ONE DAY and after 4 weeks of consistent, multiple daily bowel movements my histamine and itching is GONE, hallelujah thank You Jesus! I now eat fermented food with every meal and NO REACTION. Did I have gas? Yes, for one day. And really bad gas too. But it subsided, and my whole digestive system felt better than it had in years. My GERD went away. My bloat went away. My transit time for digestion went up (it was so slow before) so no more gastroparesis. I will never stop eating beans again. The protocol is 1/2 a cup 3x a day. Easy. God’s foods heal-not drugs, not supplements. Try it. What do you have to lose? PS I also don’t use the drug caffeine anymore either. 🙂

I also have POTS and histamine avoidance is crucial for those who do. I've been using Diamine oxidase (DAO) for a few years now and it has helped to prevent POTS attacks. It's lessened by body's histamine load from other sources (gut infection, mold exposure, etc.). The brand NATURDOA makes Legumeactive (made with legumes, not pigs...gross) from Spain. They ship to the US and for the quantity and concentration of the tablets, I feel it is a reasonably priced preventative.

You now the choice of DAO supplements. Pig or sprouts. Found that my food lifestyle was very high in histamine. Liberators, leftovers, fermented foods. Rule for leftovers; one day - that’s it. Kind of sucks, but totally worth it. Careful of buying food that sits in the fridge for weeks before eating. Buy for the next 2/3 days. Healthier to do this versus getting histamine overdose from aged foods. Also , think about how much perishable food you have to throw out on a monthly basis. Though you might be at the grocery store more, you’re going to save a lot of money on food shopping for 2/3 days only.

Persistent use of antihistamines suppresses the guts' production of hydrochloric acid, which is the last thing you want for gut health. Food not well broken down leads to dismotility, inflammation, and possible leaky gut syndrome. Then, when you stop taking the antihistamines, the gut ramps up the hydrochloric acid again which generally leads to overproduction and dyspepsia, i.e; heartburn.

@@sagartripti I'm sure NonyaSmith and others here could teach me several things, but I've been using a small amount of liquid diphenhydramine (less than a pediatric dose) to temporarily increase control of chest and respiratory symptoms, and for topical reduction of throat symptoms, sometimes a few times a day. Thankfully I have "good days" when I don't use any at all. I sure didn't get there overnight, for better or worse. I often balance this with some challenges of my ability to tolerate histamine liberating compounds such as (extremely low dose, e.g. {unsweetened} USA tonic water) quinine. It doesn't hit me as hard as a large (e.g. pure-ish) chocolate bar or large can of beans -- canned beans are rough with me, sprouted are much much more tolerable. (I'm searching for comments I've left today because I'm trying to reply to a notification I clicked away from in a drop-down menu, and there are so many new comments now!) Expert advice should be more available and accessible. I think patient support communities are essential, in part because the studies we eventually hear about often study US! ... so I should mention that YRMV, and good luck. I've also heard that antihistamines, certainly including benadryl (which is in my words "thorough," in that it "crosses the blood-brain barrier," as I've heard it explained), can block HMNT, which is of course the intracellular counterpart of diamine oxidase, our histamine enzymes (AFAIK, and my education on these topics is notably informal, but this may have been covered in the video we're commenting on).

I wondered if I was histamine intolerant years ago and focused on reducing proteins that were aged, fermented foods, and being careful of when I ate histamine releasing foods. I believe I have had SIBO for a long time. The western medical system won't test me for SIBO but gave me drugs for it when they didn't know for sure if I had it. I fired the Gastroenterologist for continuously gate keeping the functional testing I needed. I did my own research and although meat has the potential for having lots of histamines I have had no real histamine issues since going off plants and carbs. I believe that I have begun to heal the SIBO among other things since 4 months on the Carnivore diet. I will do this elimination diet for at least 6 months to get rid of SIBO, lose excess weight, and get rid of the painful oxalates in my joints. Then I will try to add back low histamine/low oxalate foods to see if they bring symptoms back. I will stay away from grains and sugars for good. My body cannot handle those at all.

I have been having these issues for 6 years already and my doctors always give me more and more medication . Now I started to do my own research and realising that none of my doctors or specialist ever did a test on food allergy or sensitivity nor looking at my guts 😱. I feel a bit angry in a way because they all chose to give me more medication that are barely helping anymore instead of starting at the base and do more research first 😢. I will try and find the right dietician and doctor and hopefully they will help to find the root of the problem instead of pumping me full of meds that don't work anymore except in high doses .

[@chrish8871]

In the uk, 🇬🇧 go,private with this. No gp can help you. …. Had “something” since a very early age. But became aware of it age 7. Then my parents divorced, I didn’t take that well. Things gradually worsened relatively over the years with several flares along the way plus glandular fever late teens. No Dr could help except one who mentioned histamine in diet. After eliminating dairy and gluten as best I could I saw an improvement by my late 30s. But still couldn’t get to the bottom of it (lol) then in my 50’s a new Dr said I had fibromyalgia. An utterly useless diagnosis but she was the nearest to my symptoms and it did point me in one of several directions. One of which is histamine intolerance and only now, do I have a very qualified chiropractor ( one of many) and a dietician who are working together to help me with HI. If it wasn’t for my Chiropractor I think I’d be in a wheel chair more often than not. She’s well trained and has to understand the whole body system not just how to manipulate my spine back into the right position. Understanding why my spine sticks in the wrong place is part of the treatment, and we are treating HI. If you see my blood slides and the clumping of blood cells in different sizes it becomes clear why too. Lack of oxygen transference from sick blood cells can’t help. B12 deficiency evident in large blood cells. Stress clumping

The bedroom wooden furniture, board surfaces and cardboard boxes have mold on them. How to get rid of all these molds? I also didn"t know about the candida and parasites and virus enablers. Never heard of DAO. I did not know about the anti-histamines not being such a great idea.

I've had histamine intolerance for years. I learned more about it in this 12 min video than I have with anything else! I've already tried a number of things you mentioned, but my big AH-HA is that the steroid inhaler I use for asthma is blocking DAO. I recently discovered it is causing ALL my health issues,. I learned that it causes dysbiosis, which is related to histamine intolerance, but I didn't know it was also blocking DAO. I will now work towards getting off that medication. Doctors do not look for the root causes. We need people like you. Thank you!

[@TDS.Harper]

No, they don't. Most modern doctors are only taught to treat the symptom. Throw a pill at it. Heckers, throw a whole bottle of pills at it. Doesn't fix it. Seriously; go into a doctor's office. Mention a disease. Any disease/chronic condition. They probably can name at least 3 pills for it, but NOT an actual remedy!

[@TDS.Harper]

P.S. Do you use non-stick cook ware? -I used to. And I was diagnosed with "Asthma" and put on a daily inhaler. A friend of mine loves birds, and has quite a few. But she can't have non-stick cook ware, as the off-gassing kills the canaries. Then I got to thinking: If a little tiny canary's lungs fail due to this, what is it doing to MY lungs? I've been off the non-stick cookware, and the inhaler for more than 10 years now. And no more raspy voice. Very very seldom an asthma attack. And back when I used the regular inhaler, I could only get to 325 on the spirometer. Now I do better than 750 regularly!

[@NourZibdeh]

100% environmental toxicity will stimulate mast cells which release lots of histamine and other immune mediators, leading to all of these symptoms. I'm finding mold toxicity to be common with my patients with histamine and mast cell activation issues, and asthma can be triggered by mold.

[@TheManGrant]

Hi Nour Zibdeh: Thank you for this video. I am contacting you on behalf of my wife (73 year old Filipina) otherwise in good health except for recently-acquired Histamine Intolerance. Her diet for life has basically been vegetables, rice, with occasional shrimp or pork (common in the Philippines). When we eat out, sometimes we get spicy Indian food, which we love. We vacation regularly in Hawaii, and recently in Mexico to get some more sunshine. We live in Vancouver BC Canada and are thus starved of sunshine. We take supplements like Vitamin C, D, E, A, B-Complex and other good supplements like zinc, turmeric, kelp, etc. Occasionally during the spring-time, she may get 1 week of hay fever from the pollen in the air, which goes away quickly with diphenhydramine hydrochloride tablets for a few days. With our most recent vacation to Mexico, something must have happened, but we have not been able to figure it out. The all-inclusive resort had good food and clean water, from which we had no immediate symptoms. However, 5 days after being back in Vancouver in early August 2023, we sat in the sunshine for 15 minutes on the outside deck. After going inside and a couple of minutes later, she broke out in Hives that apparently were triggered by the sunshine. I was not affected. She has nice brown skin and has lived half of her life in the Philippines and half in Vancouver. We did further tests and determined that UVB would always trigger the same histamine response and hives. We have cut out different foods searching for the root cause, and cannot find a correlation between any particular food and the histamine-related hives. She is now taking histDAO supplements but they have not fixed the problem. I am thinking that she may have acquired some gut bacteria from the pork in Mexico, which is a good reason to avoid pork as I do. We want to fix this and get back to the way she was before our Mexico vacation. The other possibility is some reaction from the Mesenchymal Stem Cell treatment that she received from a clinic in Mexico, but this was her second treatment for her knee joints. Her first Stem Cell treatment from the same clinic was one year ago, and there were no problems at all. I don't think that her problem is diet related, except that something we did in Mexico has created this histamine intolerance, like a gut bacteria. I am an Engineer, so I am driven to find and fix the root cause directly and not simply cover up the condition. Do you think you can help and if so, how do we proceed? Please contact me at [e-mail] so we can work together. Thank you.

[@rrcmjp22]

It actually sounds like a delayed hypersensitivity response to the stem cell treatment with photosensitivity. Allergic responses take time to develop which is why she didn’t have a reaction the first time.

[@TheManGrant]

@@rrcmjp22 Hi Marlena: Thank you for your suggestion. At the moment, I am thinking it might be parasites in the gut, from eating pork in Mexico. We are trying Ivermectin for a few weeks to see if that has any effect. If that does not work, then I will pursue your suggestion.

[@NourZibdeh]

Hi ... sorry to hear that. I think it's difficult to guess what it is without proper testing. The immune system may have gone haywire due to parasite or other microbes (virus, bacteria, etc), or exposure to environmental toxins. The sun and heat can trigger histamine. Gut microbiome imbalances interfere with histamine clearance. Often, you have to address multiple things at the same time to truly notice an improvement. If you'd like further assistance, you can book an assessment and strategy session here: nourzibdeh.com/getstarted/

[@m.b5777]

The body is extremely complex and there is an intricate balance which is maintained by your body. When you take one supplement, it causes depletion of a different one and side effects follow. You should not take any supplements and eat the actual food which is rich in those nutrients. Alternatively you can take beef liver/organ pills if you can't eat the actual organs. But don't take supplements. I am talking from experience. You will end up with nasty side effects which won't show up right away. It will take months or years to affect your health negatively. For tens of thousands of years humans took no supplements or isolated vitamins. They ate the actual food which contained those vitamins. The supplement industry wants you to believe that you can take a short cut and just take a few vitamins with no long term side effects. Their goal is to make money. They don't care about your health. Another thing that will help you recover quickly is intermittent fasting which has been done for thousands of years by various cultures. It is extremely beneficial for your health. It can clear up many health issues with zero cost.

[@Vessel_of_honour]

​​@@TheManGrant yall should try prolonged fasting. Look up autophagy, its bad ass. I accidentally stumbled on it because I did a prolonged dry fast for spiritual renewal, lost a lot of muscle the first 2 times I did a 3 day dry fast, but by the 3rd and 4th time, sth UNUSUAL was going on in my body. Lets just say my body hit a new rock bottom and began to heal itself. I have typed lengthy pages explaining this to people but I'll advise you to look it up. Now I fast for prolonged periods- no food, no water, no shower, no brush and no contact with water. Usually for me after the 3rd day, everything seems broken off and broken down, I did 4 days once, hard dry fast, by the end of day 4 everything in my mouth felt dead. When I brushed, I believe I saw stuff like plaques coming off, my oral health has never been so good. Belly pouch gone, muscles more resilient, a little weight lifting gives me results of someone whos been in the gym for months, I lose fat but retain muscles, hormones balanced themselves out, hair growing suddenly, I can go on and on. The reset I got from the last 2 prolonged fasts have made me want to eat better. Autophagy is a real reset. Also as someone else mentioned, please for your own sake THROW OUT THE SUPPLEMENTS. Before you actually find a really good one, chances are you've suffocated yourself with more poison. Its just a revolving door and problems are released much later to create confusion and make you blame the wrong things. The industries behind these things dont give a rats ass about your health. Look into fasting first, chances are that reset will clear out an unbelievable percentage of that sudden reaction. Also if you're Christian, don't forget to call Jesus to help you. You don't lose nothing by praying, worst case scenario, He doesn't answer. And it takes nothing from you. But if He answers, ohhh booyyy, you're about to get brand new organs. ❤❤
