This is important info for people with ME/CFS too. Chronic fatigue syndrome is very similar to long haul Covid. Wish more people would acknowledge this. We have been suffering not for years but for decades.
Low histamine diet gave me the ability exercise again, took away POTS symptoms, headaches and chronic fatigue after a year of being sick with long covid. I’m not 100% yet but I have a much greater quality of life. Do it!!!
Can you give me a high level? Like, what do you NOT eat, and what do you EAT? Without all the abbreviations and verbiage I don't know anything about. Just something simple?
Here in the UK it seems our doctors have no time or interest for Investigations into Mcas and as in my experience if you have long covid symptoms you are simply brushed aside. Thankfully we have these great doctors here on UA-cam.
I have to disagree. Early on, I was watching the UK doctors who knew far more about long-haul Co-Vid and were already supplying a list of no histamine foods, over the counter medications and prescription medicines. They were life-savers for many, I am sure.
@@barbarahumphreys4792 .

Yes I’ve always just stuck to seasonal foods, I was fortunate to have worked with a professor of nutritional medicine many years ago that explained why we should do this. It’s because our bodies genetically have a long history and have not changed as fast as our food has. Meaning that our bodies are trying to cope with changes that are faster then they are able to adapt to, our bodies were used to certain foods and diets over Millenia and yet in the last hundred years or so this has changed dramatically and our bodies haven’t been able to adapt as fast to the changes in our diets.
I learned more in this 30 minute video than I did in the last month of investigating histamine intolerance as part of my attempts to cure my long covid. Thank you once again for all of the incredibly informative and deep discussion around the mechanisms of long covid.
Learning more here than the $360 consult I had with an immunologist a few days ago 😑 Then disregard for long haul symptoms here in Australian is appalling.
@@daniella4889 The disregard for long haul symptoms is appalling everywhere! I've had 2 endocrinologists prescribe me inappropriately high doses of levothyroxine now (that almost gave me heart attacks both times) even after I told them that long haul patients have extreme medication sensitivities so the dose has to be way lower. They still just treat you like a person who is otherwise healthy and disregard / don't take into account all the metabolic dysfunction that the long haul causes. The closest thing I've got is a pretty good dietician who admitted that all their calorie and nutrition models assumed a normally functioning digestive system, so if I was taking in the correct amount of calories and still losing too much weight it was probably due to digestive dysfunction, not me starving myself or some other silly thing.
@@janmolekula3900 I had one Pfizer shot 11 months ago and had a severe reaction 1.5 days later. Left side of my face was numb, tingling, burning, blurred vision, trouble tracking movement, dizziness. I did two high dose prednisone tapers that helped but only temporarily. My symptoms progressed to tachycardia issues, trouble walking, talking, concentrating...I started a strict low histamine diet as well as H1 & H2 blockers and saw improvement. I have been on this diet for a few months as well as Plavix, low dose naltrexone, Pravastatin and Fluvoxamine. I am about 70% recovered now.
@@1cavscout160 Wow, that is some rough ride. Glad to hear you are relatively well again. So I guess you didn't get another shot. Did you get real covid later on?
Thank you. I have a year of long haul covid trying to do me in. Finally some answers. Someone said it's like being poisoned every day. It's true I know.
Look into Mast Cell Activation Syndrome online. Dr Afrins and Dr Leonard Weinstock, Dr Anne Maitland for more info. Dr Hoffman as well. You will learn much about what is triggering your long haul covid through the info they provide on MCAS and its treatment.
Dr. Been I can write a Book on Histamine foods, I’ve been living with low histamine Foods for 8 years, I take my own Food with me. If I leave my House! It took me 16 years to Find a Doctorwho knew what was Happening.... As I have Oral signs immediately ( Stat) I’m a RN, soo I felt even more embarrassed., by telling Physcian Specialists all my S&S.... They thought I was NUTS!!!! I am Sooo grateful for Dr. Marinda Mac Donald in Johannesburg, South Africa! She helped save my life!
@@rgrissom823 Look up low histamine foods. To start.. and each person can tolerate different foods. So try eat the med to low foods.. I went onto a Tumeric mixture. But you’d need to ok, with your Doc. As I was too ill to be Asprin Desensitised.. 10 years later. Doc wants to try to desensitise me. Coz I’m much better.. take Care.
Thank you, doctor, for this! I am a Histamine Intolerance sufferer from young age, and have all of the symptoms. Histamine intolerance was not something that doctors would diagnose 40-50 years ago. I am just starting to understand my body's reactions and overreactions. This was a fantastic presentation, I understand more than before watching the video. Do you have more discussions on this topic?
Holy moly, it really hit home when you said the mast cells can go wild with temperature change. I'm 8 months post covid with the itchiest skin on earth and hives a few days a week on my neck and chest.
I was on a paleo-keto diet about four years ago when I began developing a reaction of hives, having never had them before. Turned out to be cold-induced histamine intolerance. I went on a low histamine diet for a solid month, gradually introducing foods. I don't have as severe a situation as some, as I can manage mine with attention to occasional flares. This is a diagnosis many confuse as allergies, and widely unknown.
@@go2therock I have had this for 20 years. People thought I was making it up. It's only in the past year that I understand mast cell activation and how it creates by cold sensitivity and most recently, heat sensitivity as well.
15 months long hauling, low histamine diet is so so, it was only when i went on to a low oxalate diet that i seen big improvements, i'd stay away from all nuts, especially almond milk. expect to get the symptoms every few days while your body dumps oxalate. calcium, potassium and magnesium sups are essential. you'll know when your dumping when your pee is a funny cloudy colour
You gave me more info than some of the doctor's I'm seeing ... what the heck do you eat? I'm 24 months long hauling and 8 months jab injury. heck of a combo and now left with mcas ....
@@anapflueger2547 sorry for the delayed reply Ana, if your a meat eater a lot of people get good results with bone broth. i'm veggie and avoid spinach, kale, substitute with rocket. keep potatoes down to 2 days a week. broccoli, cauliflower, peas, butternut squash are all fine, white rice too but not brown rice ( sally k norton podcasts will tell you all you need to know with a low oxalate diet). I've added a few things since first writing this, purple gromwell root it blocks the inflammatory cytokine CCR5, Dr Corey mentions CCR5 in one of Dr Beens uploads. ive also seen great inporvmnent from using 10ml Fulvic/humic acid a day and 1/2 tsp of zeolite. if you can manage it goats milk is a pretty good around source of potassium etc. no more vaccines Ana. a good natural source b vitamin complex, zinc, 2000-4000 mg natural source vitamin c supplement too. VD3 and VITK2 wouldn't go a miss too.
Dr Been, thanks.I want to assure you that this study is correct. I was a long hauler for 9 months. My doctor gave me famadotin which didn’t help. Eventually I went ahead and did try and error and I ended up doing the diet you are proposing while my doctor was against of it. My doctor wouldn’t understand my issues with gut and nerve systems and emphasized that I was ok because my typical blood work was fine. The diet was helpful but I had to chew gum to calm down my gut. However, I was so long on this diet that my iron went down! So we should be careful.
Chewing gum reduces acid going into the stomach. I’ve also been chewing a xylitol gum everyday after having Covid because it also helps with anxiety and gives you stronger teeth - anxiety and teeth issues having been popping up post Covid as well.
I have just developed a histamine problem and am reacting to almost all foods including low histamine foods, herbal tisanes and supplements and i have a lot of inflammation.This has happened since i got vaccinated for covid and my doctor thinks that my condition is due to the vaccine having sent my system over the edge. I am trying to learn everything i can about histamine so thank you for the information. Feeling pretty overwhelmed at the moment.
Check out Dr's Afrins, Weinstock, Hoffman and Anne Maitland on UA-cam for more info on Mast cell Activation Syndrome on UA-cam. You will learn a great deal about what may be going on with your system from them.
I started a whole foods plant based diet, no oil ( except omega 3) as soon as I was hospitalized with Delta related pneumonia and bilateral pulmonary emboli. It has reduced inflammation so well that my lung function tests passed with flying colors, despite my chronic asthma, and post covid pneumonia related, moderate coarse interstitial fibrosis. Now long covid, including peripheral neuropathy and brain fog. If I slightly deviate from the diet, by eating dairy or eggs, for example, the symptoms worsen. Also no more puffy eyes in the morning, no more swollen hands or feet.
Thanks a lot for the great informative video. It seems there are people who developed MCAS after getting Covid V. I was wondering if the same protocol is applicable to them too, and/or there is any resources looking in those MCAS patients.
Holy holy i don’t believe somebody is recommending low histamine. I am from Vienna and we have a Specialist Prof. Dr. Reinhart Jarisch here. This is so flashy, because since I knew abt my intolerance from histamines… o h my dear…. Can’t believe, btw there are two ways where it gets important. This took me a really long way to understand. HNMT intracellular is the way what 99% of doctors don’t understand. There are no typical histamine issues, but days after liberators. My dear. Yes we have 2021 now I believe
The sonorous sounding "All"said at the start of this lecture was extremely clear and was said in a most pleasant tone, of which you should be highly commended for.
I have systemic mastocytosis. That histamine list is basically leaving us with cardboard. Its no way to live. I'm glad there are other options like DAO and antihistamines. Hopefully someone will figure out how to reprogram the gene responsible for mast cell over production. In the mean time I'll continue to run daily, eat my H1 and H2 medicines and limit as best as possible my food intakes.
Good evening Dr. Been Sir; I have been wondering about this for weeks! Thank you for this video very much!! Xo fr:Canada. Xoxo 💜👍 P.s. I’m so thankful every week for what I learn from you! Lord Bless your Heart Dr. Been! amen.
Thank you so much, this was great and got me thinking. I’m day 18 with Covid and have a lot of fatigue, Tinnitus , smell/ taste alterations and generally feel like my head is full of cotton. In the past I’ve had Hives and I do have a lot of allergies. I’m going to watch video again for sure. Thank you for all you do for us! Bless you and your family. And Ramadan Kareem 🌙✨💕
I quit eating fruit 40years ago because it just quit tasting good when it started coming in year round. Shame too. I remember eating fruit "in season". Berries in the spring, Plums early summer, Cherries, Peaches, nectarines watermelon mid-summer and apples and oranges by early fall... Oh and they were sooo good... It shocks me how much food has changed in my lifetime. And my body knows it.
thank you so much, Dr. Been for bringing attention to this. Amazingly, high histmaine foods have always caused me problems and I have suffered decades from multiple problems IBS to migraines which has been helped by diet, but this gives me hope again. Blessings and peace.
My daughter has struggled with histamine induced edema for a few years now. Her arms, legs swell up (non pitting edema) especially during times of stress to the point her joints hurt. I've been trying to understand the mechanism (what's not working, how to assist the system etc.) for awhile now but am most confused by the intracellular histamine situation. One could take DAO to counter food intake but what could one do/take to help out HNMT break down intracellular histamine? Is there something analogous to using steroids to reset an immune system that would reset the body's histamine response? She already has done the low histamine diet (pretty much all the time) and it helps to some extent but something more is needed, something more needs to be understood. I've considered the rebuilding of the gut, the supporting the body with supplements and pondering if one took enough DAO would that eventually lower the intracellular level also? The edema seems lymphatic situation but the histamine allows the fluid out into those tissues. I would love Dr. Been to put his great knowledge to the whole histamine/mast cell situation further. Thank you
HNMT needs s-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM-e) to work (i.e. it is a chemical cofactor), and SAM-e can be low in certain "undermethylated" people, so improving SAM-e status might help HNMT work. You can supplement SAM-e, but the body also makes it; the majority of the SAM-e your body makes is used to make creatine, so supplementing creatine also helps SAM-e status. The body makes SAM-e from the amino acid methionine which is low in most plant-based protein sources except nuts and seeds.
@@User_24472 If you can't tolerate SAM-e then you might already have surplus methyl groups, so it won't help. You could try other pro-methylation supplements like creatine. But personally I get the most benefit against histamine intolerance from quercetin + ascorbate (500mg 3-5/day).
Thank you so very much for all of the mcas discussions, I appreciate your explanations very much. I was dx with mcas at the end of 2014. I have been through the histamine intolerance maze thoroughly and was able to regain tolerance of most foods after originally being limited to a handful. I concur with what you’ve explained. I’d be happy to answer any questions anyone may have. I am currently reacting to the moderna shot and am having difficulty calming my system. Its appears that my histamine levels are under control and that my new systems are stemming from one of the other chemicals released by the mast cells. Would love further discussion here. I also am interested in learning more about the other two comorbidities in the trifecta, Ehlers Danlos Syndromes (hypermobility, in my case) and Dysautonomia (I’m POTS-lite and have low blood volume). Thanks again for all you do!
Hi Carrie, i'm SO happy reading of someone who reacted to the shot. I got the biontech vac and 3 weeks after i had the worst of symptoms. I was lying in bed and couldn't work for 3 months. I think i already had the underlying issue with mcas, but it never bothered me so much (mainly gut related problems) but now its a different thing. I have headaches, fever, cold like symptoms tachykardia, low blood pressure and was so weak, i couldn't even walk up the stairs. All i could eat was bell peppers otherwise i would get so dizzy. And no doctor knew what to do. It was/is awful. Did you get the second shot already? Did you have an reaction to that?
@@losangelessa Hi @losangelessa, I am sorry to hear about your experience. It is hard to post about bc Facebook flags any comment that appears anti. I get it, I don't want to discourage the V at all, but I do think people like us need to know this can happen and what to do if it does, we are used to having paradoxical reactions. My allergist says I am contra-indicated to receive the 2nd shot and any boosters, so I am a bit bummed about not being protected, but there is also no way I can add any further to my symptoms any time soon, the flare is still in high gear, I am now subluxing regularly throughout the day with my wrists, shoulders, ribs & hips - the Ehlers Danlos hypermobility is progressing. Ive gotten most of the mast cell issues under control, I am heavily medicated for that. As far as the dysautonomia symptoms, I am having to wear some form of compression wear on legs, arms and wrists. The most painful side effect that I am still figuring out is lymphatic dysfunction- I have started to get Occupational Therapy for my head, face & neck lymphs - my face has been swollen and hard since the shot, it softens for a day or so after massage. My scalp is incredibly tight with stuck lymph and it seems to be affecting my neck instability that is already an issue. Are you able to eat more food now? There are a few great mast cell patient groups on Facebook that you should join. Also POTS/dysautonomia & EDS. Do a basic search and you will find them. Lots of the groups have info in the "file" section which is helpful, and all of us are responsive to questions. I had issues with pressure and stairs as well. Luckily, I'm near the beach in San Diego, and the climate and pressure are best for me here. Out of the 77 allergy med schools in the US, only 4 teach about MCAS, so it can be hard to find an allergist that knows much. Anything I can help with, please let me know. Ive been aware of my dx since 2014- so I have some experience.
Histamine intolerance is rarely understood. If we tell a doctor that the person is sneezing and having runny nose after a normal meal, they will still think it is sinus related whereas it is gut related.
THANK YOU Dr Mobeen, for your videos on MCAS: your interview with Dr Peers was hugely helpful to me. Could I just point out a little mistake about minute 19 on this video: I think Dr Peers said vitamin B3 (niacin) - not vitamin B1 as you have written.
Are you a member of any mast cell activation support groups? So much helpful info there, plus Dr Afrins, Dr Leonard Weinstock, Dr Hoffman and Dr Anne Maitland have ecmxcellent info.
I have a histamine intolerance. I got Covid19 March 2020. I had a severe reaction and was hospitalized for 3 days. Now have long haulers. This is crazy
Your mast cells may be starting to overactivate. Look up MCAS to see if your symptoms are similar and check out the treatment options for MCAS which may bring you some relief.
Thank you Dr Been so much, in 2005 a dentist deliberately cut down 10 teeth, shortened them so my bite was wrong, still is, dental view is disbelief “conservative”willl only rebuild m broken front teeth but no interest in rebuilding and correcting bite. A lot of muscular pain on side of head and top of head wa pointed instead of flat. This lead to an extreme allergic reaction treated by corticosteroid drip and puffer. So became asthmatic. Finally after 13 years on steroids given sodium cromoglycate which settled asthma down better. Ha en discontinued so glad that research shows quercetin is more effective. Now on LDN miracle and > 90% ok and better than that with quercetin.
Thank you I’ve got the MTHFR gene mutation Homozygous low folate. I don’t methylation my body well at all. I’m praying I can figure out how to get my depression under control. I was put on antipsychotic zyprexa because of this I’m no longer on meds and trying to build up supplements I need from medication injury causing all this. Tumeric magnesium ltheanine nac DAO enzyme and sometimes antihistamine
My 36 year-old son is going through this, and no one believes me. I have to ask his doctor who is treating him for Lyme coinfections, but when he got Covid, despite the vaccine, he developed a lot of pain and became very ill. His head pressure is so bad, and no one knows why he has it. His ears pop and he’s had meningitis before. I’m thinking it’s autoimmune encephalitis. I never I understood this histamine thing, so I’m watching this. I hope others in my family will watch it! I don’t even know where to take him because his medications are working very slowly and he’s ready to die. He’s depressed, in horrible pain, and has psychological and neurological problems, to name a few things! 🙏 Btw, I liked your UFO joke!
@@TheBushRanger. He’s basically the same, but he has an awesome doctor in Bloomfield Hills ,MI, whose staff are all doctors and functional medicine practitioners! He has a You Tube Channel. We are so lucky! It’s moving very slowly, but the mold is down and the Lyme is severe. Now I have 6 Lyme co-infections, including a live Babesia Microti which gives me the creeps. I’m going through the stuff he’s going through and I have a broken shoulder too, and I’m his caretaker. Something is not right with this life I chose! 🙏💕💫 We think he now has long Covid. His headaches are the worst and are there 24/7. I feel so sorry for him!
Hate to day this but I'm glad this is happening cause I have mass cell activation and it sucks. Had it for 10 years now and the drs suck. Its was always in my head. Always mind drugs offered , oh your to stressed . Hopefully this will get us long suffering some help finally.
Have you seen Dr Afrins, Dr Leonard Weinstock, Dr Anne Maitland or Dr Hoffman's MCAS information online? Great info to take to your doctors to educate them. It is a newly discovered syndrome ( last 20 years). Most doctors have never been trained in it.
@@dorisbetts3012 I check out names I have watched alot don't remember them all. I dis find low copper and iodine is huge in histamine issues, starting earing alot more liver. And sub iodine. We'll see. Thank you.
I have this condition. In addition to low histamine low purine no dairy no sugar no caffeine diet, I take a few natural supplements like black seed oil. Gingko biloba. Resveratrol. Omega 3. And multivitamin tablet centrum. Now I am almost symptom free.
I was finally diagnosed with MCAS caused by 3rd jab. Nut, only PGD2 was elevated. main symptoms are burning, buzzing, tingling, and twitching in feet. I don't have hives, rash, etc. Almost all symptoms are neuropathic! 😞
You have to detox your core first and a lot of people don’t even know that they can actually have parasites and not know it.. So, is an antihistamine good for you? It’s really great for me
I have used nasal crom and I found it to be very strange that the pharmacy doesn’t carry it anymore unless you ask for it and why is that? Because Dana Farber had done several studies regarding anti angiogenesis and on a molecular level they couldn’t use it because they couldn’t get a patent for it. I have been using this for years now! Also, dypenhydramine along with vitamin D and vitamin C and zinc, one aspirin and a prenatal vitamin! Magnesium, selenium but I have always used Benadryl and I have been around people who have been positive for covid and yet, I never got it!! Could this be why? I also eat a whole food phytonutrient diet. Is this a good idea?
3 months since second Covid jab and shortness of breath began immediately and has gotten worse despite albuterol nebulizer, steroids, ivermectin, all the protocols on the FLCCC site, so which doctor should I consult by telemedicine? Does anyone know who to interface with to get help?
I keep having throat closing no matter what i eat or drink and i must gain weight I am hungry but each time i try to eat or drink my throat closes up I know I am having an attack because it begins with my nose litterally freezing. I dont know what to do anymore
That sounds awful! Did you have covid, long covid, or any of the covid shots? So you think you have MCAS or Histamine Intolerance? I can only tell you my experience with getting relief from a lot of symptoms, but you should be seeing a doctor as it sounds like you have a bad situation. Do you have any safe foods?
Sounds like it to me. I get that reaction from the cold. Mast cells in my skin overactive and release their inflammatory histamine. I also have GERD from MCAS. Lots of resources on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome on line and support groups on Facebook.
Excellent and timely presentation. Can you tie in histamine problems with serotonin elevation, which also occurs w/ covid? Role of indoles and amines? Thanks
@@DrBeenMedicalLectures this is important for ME/CFS too. I know I am deficient in dopamine but don't understand the implications for SSRIs. I tried taking SSRIs years ago, but did not do well. CFS has the same symptom profile as long haulers. I'm very grateful you are covering this. CFS gets almost no attention and minimal research funding.
Could I have long term Covid MCAS because I was vaccinated and boosted and then got Covid in December then in January I got chronic hives still as of today..I didn’t have hives with Covid only a month after. Since I cannot find the reason, could it be long Covid?
You can purchase DAO in supplement form. Vit D also. Some people struggle with iron supplements but your doctor can help you there to find the safe way to increase your iron, no doubt.
I was a heavy beer drinker, and after drinking beer the next day to cure my hang over I would drink kefir water or coconut water. I stopped drinking and got better. Soon as I drink again I get histamine intolerance to the point I can't eat. Will dao help me?

H1 and H2 antihistamines are commonly taken by mast cell activation patients. I take Claritin and Pepcid. It is recommended not to take them while on the elimination diet spoken of here as you are trying to find out what your food triggers are and they will confuse the issue. This elimination diet is not forever although some people continue avoiding many items to help keep their histamine load down in their bodies.
Thanks so much for this great info!!!! Also, here is something that helps me tremendously: might be of help to others- A UA-cam video that I play when I sleep at night. It’s called “Healing Scriptures With Dodie Osteen.” It’s by April Osteen Simons Blessings!
A gluten free m, sugar free , dairy free elimination diet is recommended for MCAS patients. My mast dells react to gluten and sugar especially and rapidly activate my GERD symptoms
@@omarct Yes I'm sure: fatigue, brain fog, head pressure, heat sensitivity, short of breath, weakness, tachycardia, insomnia, AND GI issues that started about a month after having covid. I am not alone - I've communicated with lots of long haulers in a support group who got relief from addressing histamines.
@@judymiller5154 you got it. Researchers are tying the two things together...mast cell activation syndrome and those who suffer with long covid infections.
This is important info for people with ME/CFS too. Chronic fatigue syndrome is very similar to long haul Covid. Wish more people would acknowledge this. We have been suffering not for years but for decades.
Absolutely!

Any luck with anything new to help long term Covid. I just watched a video saying that Niacin needs to be taken everyday.
Bioactive Quercetin EMIQ (a highly bioavailable form of quercetin) is great anti-histamine, anti-inflammatory.

@@yc3425 thanks for sharing this recommendation, I’m going to look into it
@@daniella4889 The disregard for long haul symptoms is appalling everywhere! I've had 2 endocrinologists prescribe me inappropriately high doses of levothyroxine now (that almost gave me heart attacks both times) even after I told them that long haul patients have extreme medication sensitivities so the dose has to be way lower. They still just treat you like a person who is otherwise healthy and disregard / don't take into account all the metabolic dysfunction that the long haul causes. The closest thing I've got is a pretty good dietician who admitted that all their calorie and nutrition models assumed a normally functioning digestive system, so if I was taking in the correct amount of calories and still losing too much weight it was probably due to digestive dysfunction, not me starving myself or some other silly thing.
Switching to a low histamine diet has helped with my vaxx injury (9+ months) more than anything else I have tried yet.

@@rgrissom823 Look up low histamine foods. To start.. and each person can tolerate different foods. So try eat the med to low foods.. I went onto a Tumeric mixture. But you’d need to ok, with your Doc. As I was too ill to be Asprin Desensitised.. 10 years later. Doc wants to try to desensitise me. Coz I’m much better.. take Care.
@@Anastasia11101 Look up lists for medium and low Salicylate foods. Take care
Thank you..
@@Anastasia11101 i got it after the vaccine too. Makes me so sad, as i was really believing in the vaccine.
Thank you, doctor, for this! I am a Histamine Intolerance sufferer from young age, and have all of the symptoms. Histamine intolerance was not something that doctors would diagnose 40-50 years ago. I am just starting to understand my body's reactions and overreactions. This was a fantastic presentation, I understand more than before watching the video. Do you have more discussions on this topic?
Holy moly, it really hit home when you said the mast cells can go wild with temperature change. I'm 8 months post covid with the itchiest skin on earth and hives a few days a week on my neck and chest.
I was on a paleo-keto diet about four years ago when I began developing a reaction of hives, having never had them before. Turned out to be cold-induced histamine intolerance. I went on a low histamine diet for a solid month, gradually introducing foods.
I don't have as severe a situation as some, as I can manage mine with attention to occasional flares.
This is a diagnosis many confuse as allergies, and widely unknown.
There are various triggers - hormones, sun, exercise, etc.
@@go2therock I have had this for 20 years. People thought I was making it up. It's only in the past year that I understand mast cell activation and how it creates by cold sensitivity and most recently, heat sensitivity as well.
@@go2therock and different for each person. It's complex.
I'm almost a yr post COVID and have the exact same systems
15 months long hauling, low histamine diet is so so, it was only when i went on to a low oxalate diet that i seen big improvements, i'd stay away from all nuts, especially almond milk. expect to get the symptoms every few days while your body dumps oxalate. calcium, potassium and magnesium sups are essential. you'll know when your dumping when your pee is a funny cloudy colour
Get b1 aswell helped so much
Never heard of this diet... don't even know what oxalate is. More research...
@@theandersons777 have a look at the work of Sally K Norton and Dr Georgia Ede on oxalates. Breakthroughs in health issues. .
You gave me more info than some of the doctor's I'm seeing ... what the heck do you eat? I'm 24 months long hauling and 8 months jab injury. heck of a combo and now left with mcas ....
@@anapflueger2547 sorry for the delayed reply Ana, if your a meat eater a lot of people get good results with bone broth. i'm veggie and avoid spinach, kale, substitute with rocket. keep potatoes down to 2 days a week. broccoli, cauliflower, peas, butternut squash are all fine, white rice too but not brown rice ( sally k norton podcasts will tell you all you need to know with a low oxalate diet). I've added a few things since first writing this, purple gromwell root it blocks the inflammatory cytokine CCR5, Dr Corey mentions CCR5 in one of Dr Beens uploads. ive also seen great inporvmnent from using 10ml Fulvic/humic acid a day and 1/2 tsp of zeolite. if you can manage it goats milk is a pretty good around source of potassium etc. no more vaccines Ana. a good natural source b vitamin complex, zinc, 2000-4000 mg natural source vitamin c supplement too. VD3 and VITK2 wouldn't go a miss too.
Dr Been, thanks.I want to assure you that this study is correct. I was a long hauler for 9 months. My doctor gave me famadotin which didn’t help. Eventually I went ahead and did try and error and I ended up doing the diet you are proposing while my doctor was against of it. My doctor wouldn’t understand my issues with gut and nerve systems and emphasized that I was ok because my typical blood work was fine. The diet was helpful but I had to chew gum to calm down my gut. However, I was so long on this diet that my iron went down! So we should be careful.
Thank you!
How does your iron goes down? Were you eating less? His proposed diet supports some foods with iron content... Just curious.
Can you tell me what showing gum does for the gut? Someone else mentioned it to me so I have to wonder if it is helpful?
Chewing gum reduces acid going into the stomach. I’ve also been chewing a xylitol gum everyday after having Covid because it also helps with anxiety and gives you stronger teeth - anxiety and teeth issues having been popping up post Covid as well.
So you’re better now right?
I have just developed a histamine problem and am reacting to almost all foods including low histamine foods, herbal tisanes and supplements and i have a lot of inflammation.This has happened since i got vaccinated for covid and my doctor thinks that my condition is due to the vaccine having sent my system over the edge. I am trying to learn everything i can about histamine so thank you for the information. Feeling pretty overwhelmed at the moment.
Hi what are your symptoms? I’m having weird issues too since
Check out Dr's Afrins, Weinstock, Hoffman and Anne Maitland on UA-cam for more info on Mast cell Activation Syndrome on UA-cam. You will learn a great deal about what may be going on with your system from them.
What vaccine you took ? Thanks.i have same issue after getting actual covid too:(
Did you learn your lesson?? People tried to warn you geniuses....
Definitely seems like there’s a connection between Ehlers-Danlos histamine mass cell problems long Covid issues etc.
I started a whole foods plant based diet, no oil ( except omega 3) as soon as I was hospitalized with Delta related pneumonia and bilateral pulmonary emboli. It has reduced inflammation so well that my lung function tests passed with flying colors, despite my chronic asthma, and post covid pneumonia related, moderate coarse interstitial fibrosis. Now long covid, including peripheral neuropathy and brain fog. If I slightly deviate from the diet, by eating dairy or eggs, for example, the symptoms worsen. Also no more puffy eyes in the morning, no more swollen hands or feet.
Did u experience pots?
Medical medium promotes this diet. He has pekoe’s me like no other.
Thanks a lot for the great informative video. It seems there are people who developed MCAS after getting Covid V. I was wondering if the same protocol is applicable to them too, and/or there is any resources looking in those MCAS patients.
Thanks, doc! Ditching dairy is always a good idea, after all we're not baby cows.
"We're not baby cows"! Hilarious.
@@miriamstjohn7067 baby cows are murdered so humans can enjoy their milk and dairy foods.
Oh, brother.....get a job...🙄
Holy holy i don’t believe somebody is recommending low histamine. I am from Vienna and we have a Specialist Prof. Dr. Reinhart Jarisch here.
This is so flashy, because since I knew abt my intolerance from histamines… o h my dear…. Can’t believe, btw there are two ways where it gets important. This took me a really long way to understand.
HNMT intracellular is the way what 99% of doctors don’t understand.
There are no typical histamine issues, but days after liberators. My dear. Yes we have 2021 now I believe
Thank you for liking the talk. How are you managing your situation?
I got rid of chronic hives using the Watercure. Water and quality sea salt. I use it every time I feel my skin getting itchy now. Works like a dream
How and when do you consume salt water ?
The sonorous sounding "All"said at the start of this lecture was extremely clear and was said
in a most pleasant tone, of which you should be highly commended for.
Thank you. Credit goes to you 🙏😀
My histamine issues are really bad confusion and anxiety. I have long covid. I’m trying this diet tomorrow
Mine too, chronicle fatigue, feelings lost and etc
I have systemic mastocytosis. That histamine list is basically leaving us with cardboard. Its no way to live. I'm glad there are other options like DAO and antihistamines. Hopefully someone will figure out how to reprogram the gene responsible for mast cell over production. In the mean time I'll continue to run daily, eat my H1 and H2 medicines and limit as best as possible my food intakes.
Good evening Dr. Been Sir; I have been wondering about this for weeks! Thank you for this video very much!! Xo fr:Canada. Xoxo 💜👍

LGlutamine was studied as a drug for sickle cell anemia. Found to have benefits.
I quit eating fruit 40years ago because it just quit tasting good when it started coming in year round. Shame too. I remember eating fruit "in season". Berries in the spring, Plums early summer, Cherries, Peaches, nectarines watermelon mid-summer and apples and oranges by early fall... Oh and they were sooo good... It shocks me how much food has changed in my lifetime.
And my body knows it.
The FDA will be trying to regulate water next, as that has long been known to reduce hangover symptoms - overdose is also lethal!
It use to be a joke to say.. bottle water and charge people for it....a big joke.... nothing is funny anymore when it comes to profit and power....
thank you so much, Dr. Been for bringing attention to this. Amazingly, high histmaine foods have always caused me problems and I have suffered decades from multiple problems IBS to migraines which has been helped by diet, but this gives me hope again. Blessings and peace.
Thank you Dr. Mobeen, I was happy to share this excellent discussion.
My daughter has struggled with histamine induced edema for a few years now. Her arms, legs swell up (non pitting edema) especially during times of stress to the point her joints hurt. I've been trying to understand the mechanism (what's not working, how to assist the system etc.) for awhile now but am most confused by the intracellular histamine situation. One could take DAO to counter food intake but what could one do/take to help out HNMT break down intracellular histamine? Is there something analogous to using steroids to reset an immune system that would reset the body's histamine response? She already has done the low histamine diet (pretty much all the time) and it helps to some extent but something more is needed, something more needs to be understood. I've considered the rebuilding of the gut, the supporting the body with supplements and pondering if one took enough DAO would that eventually lower the intracellular level also? The edema seems lymphatic situation but the histamine allows the fluid out into those tissues. I would love Dr. Been to put his great knowledge to the whole histamine/mast cell situation further. Thank you
HNMT needs s-adenosyl-l-methionine (SAM-e) to work (i.e. it is a chemical cofactor), and SAM-e can be low in certain "undermethylated" people, so improving SAM-e status might help HNMT work. You can supplement SAM-e, but the body also makes it; the majority of the SAM-e your body makes is used to make creatine, so supplementing creatine also helps SAM-e status. The body makes SAM-e from the amino acid methionine which is low in most plant-based protein sources except nuts and seeds.
three day fast might help.
Bioactive Quercetin EMIQ (a highly bioavailable form of quercetin) is great anti-histamine, anti-inflammatory.
@@samplayle1858 what if icant tolerate SAME
@@User_24472 If you can't tolerate SAM-e then you might already have surplus methyl groups, so it won't help. You could try other pro-methylation supplements like creatine. But personally I get the most benefit against histamine intolerance from quercetin + ascorbate (500mg 3-5/day).
Thank you so very much for all of the mcas discussions, I appreciate your explanations very much. I was dx with mcas at the end of 2014. I have been through the histamine intolerance maze thoroughly and was able to regain tolerance of most foods after originally being limited to a handful. I concur with what you’ve explained. I’d be happy to answer any questions anyone may have. I am currently reacting to the moderna shot and am having difficulty calming my system. Its appears that my histamine levels are under control and that my new systems are stemming from one of the other chemicals released by the mast cells. Would love further discussion here. I also am interested in learning more about the other two comorbidities in the trifecta, Ehlers Danlos Syndromes (hypermobility, in my case) and Dysautonomia (I’m POTS-lite and have low blood volume). Thanks again for all you do!
•new symptoms, not systems
@@carriegrandinetti7447 I am struggling to know where to start trying a low histamone diet any help would be great also have gastroperlsis xx
Thank you. What tests did you get done to find this out ?
Hi Carrie, i'm SO happy reading of someone who reacted to the shot. I got the biontech vac and 3 weeks after i had the worst of symptoms. I was lying in bed and couldn't work for 3 months. I think i already had the underlying issue with mcas, but it never bothered me so much (mainly gut related problems) but now its a different thing. I have headaches, fever, cold like symptoms tachykardia, low blood pressure and was so weak, i couldn't even walk up the stairs. All i could eat was bell peppers otherwise i would get so dizzy. And no doctor knew what to do. It was/is awful. Did you get the second shot already? Did you have an reaction to that?
@@losangelessa Hi @losangelessa, I am sorry to hear about your experience. It is hard to post about bc Facebook flags any comment that appears anti. I get it, I don't want to discourage the V at all, but I do think people like us need to know this can happen and what to do if it does, we are used to having paradoxical reactions. My allergist says I am contra-indicated to receive the 2nd shot and any boosters, so I am a bit bummed about not being protected, but there is also no way I can add any further to my symptoms any time soon, the flare is still in high gear, I am now subluxing regularly throughout the day with my wrists, shoulders, ribs & hips - the Ehlers Danlos hypermobility is progressing. Ive gotten most of the mast cell issues under control, I am heavily medicated for that. As far as the dysautonomia symptoms, I am having to wear some form of compression wear on legs, arms and wrists. The most painful side effect that I am still figuring out is lymphatic dysfunction- I have started to get Occupational Therapy for my head, face & neck lymphs - my face has been swollen and hard since the shot, it softens for a day or so after massage. My scalp is incredibly tight with stuck lymph and it seems to be affecting my neck instability that is already an issue.
Are you able to eat more food now? There are a few great mast cell patient groups on Facebook that you should join. Also POTS/dysautonomia & EDS. Do a basic search and you will find them. Lots of the groups have info in the "file" section which is helpful, and all of us are responsive to questions.
I had issues with pressure and stairs as well. Luckily, I'm near the beach in San Diego, and the climate and pressure are best for me here. Out of the 77 allergy med schools in the US, only 4 teach about MCAS, so it can be hard to find an allergist that knows much. Anything I can help with, please let me know. Ive been aware of my dx since 2014- so I have some experience.
Is it ok to take Ivermectin if somebody has histamin intolerance? I hope to receive your answer. Thank you very much for all information!
Histamine intolerance is rarely understood. If we tell a doctor that the person is sneezing and having runny nose after a normal meal, they will still think it is sinus related whereas it is gut related.
THANK YOU Dr Mobeen, for your videos on MCAS: your interview with Dr Peers was hugely helpful to me. Could I just point out a little mistake about minute 19 on this video: I think Dr Peers said vitamin B3 (niacin) - not vitamin B1 as you have written.
I am grateful I hadn't experienced mcas from hot showers 💯 this disease has already stolen all my other joy 🙄
Are you a member of any mast cell activation support groups? So much helpful info there, plus Dr Afrins, Dr Leonard Weinstock, Dr Hoffman and Dr Anne Maitland have ecmxcellent info.

I have a histamine intolerance. I got Covid19 March 2020. I had a severe reaction and was hospitalized for 3 days. Now have long haulers. This is crazy
Your mast cells may be starting to overactivate. Look up MCAS to see if your symptoms are similar and check out the treatment options for MCAS which may bring you some relief.
Thank you Dr Been so much, in 2005 a dentist deliberately cut down 10 teeth, shortened them so my bite was wrong, still is, dental view is disbelief “conservative”willl only rebuild m broken front teeth but no interest in rebuilding and correcting bite. A lot of muscular pain on side of head and top of head wa pointed instead of flat. This lead to an extreme allergic reaction treated by corticosteroid drip and puffer. So became asthmatic. Finally after 13 years on steroids given sodium cromoglycate which settled asthma down better. Ha en discontinued so glad that research shows quercetin is more effective. Now on LDN miracle and > 90% ok and better than that with quercetin.

Taking daily Long walk also reduces histamine. Discipline is the key.
Although some people react to exercise. Triggers are different for everyone.

You have to detox your core first and a lot of people don’t even know that they can actually have parasites and not know it.. So, is an antihistamine good for you? It’s really great for me
I have used nasal crom and I found it to be very strange that the pharmacy doesn’t carry it anymore unless you ask for it and why is that? Because Dana Farber had done several studies regarding anti angiogenesis and on a molecular level they couldn’t use it because they couldn’t get a patent for it. I have been using this for years now! Also, dypenhydramine along with vitamin D and vitamin C and zinc, one aspirin and a prenatal vitamin! Magnesium, selenium but I have always used Benadryl and I have been around people who have been positive for covid and yet, I never got it!! Could this be why? I also eat a whole food phytonutrient diet. Is this a good idea?
Let me tell you, if you have issues with histamine, you have to quit smoking as well. There is no way around
Why, does smoking cigs release histamine or something.

A glass of wine makes my face turn beet red. I get hives for no good reason and am itchy much of the time. Could this be mast cell activation?
Sounds like it to me. I get that reaction from the cold. Mast cells in my skin overactive and release their inflammatory histamine. I also have GERD from MCAS. Lots of resources on Mast Cell Activation Syndrome on line and support groups on Facebook.

Would antihistamines play any role in this?
H1 and H2 antihistamines are commonly taken by mast cell activation patients. I take Claritin and Pepcid. It is recommended not to take them while on the elimination diet spoken of here as you are trying to find out what your food triggers are and they will confuse the issue. This elimination diet is not forever although some people continue avoiding many items to help keep their histamine load down in their bodies.
Thanks so much for this great info!!!!
