You literally changed my life with this video. I've been struggling with debilitating vertigo and migraines for the last 18 months ... my Dr had no idea what it is so I've just been suffering with it. Had no idea that it could be histamine intolerance but everything lines up! THANK YOU so much.
Try using a DAO enzyme from Seeking Health to help breakdown dietary histamine. They also have another product called Histamine Nutrients, which can can help.. Also make sure you are getting enough vitamin C to clear the histamine and try to get a natural source of vitamin C and not synthetic.. Just a suggestion..
This is exactly it, I actually don’t consider myself being a nervous person, but it’s a feeling of anxiety in the body. When I try to figure out if anything has triggered it, often times it just starts for no particular reason.
It's not uncommon to experience those unexplained moments of anxiety, even if you generally don't consider yourself a nervous person. Our bodies can sometimes react with anxiety without a clear external trigger.

I really need help...here nobody is really doing that work..im so alone in this trying to figure out everything..i went to laboratory so much time but dont have anywhere to go with it
Find a local naturopath. They are usually fairly helpful but not a perfect be-all end-all. Often they can refer you to other professionals and order further specialized tests.
Been figuring out this journey for a while and made the connection between SIBO and too much histamine which has plagued me for most of my life since I was a teenager. I'm nearly 40. Some of the symptoms I've dealt with are hives, itchy blisters, brain fog, fatigue, forgetfulness, tinnitus, twitches, chronic IBS, bloating, unusual discharge, mood swings and depression. I can't believe I've made it this far in life without knowing the root cause until I read up about the low histamine diet and it has been the only constant in making me feel better. After the elimination diet I found the major culprit that worsens my issues is coffee. I find I don't get proper rest for at least 2 days after a caffeinated cup and if I drink for 2 days straight the majority of the symptoms reappear.
Wow.. I'm literally a coffee addict ☕ lately past 5 or 10 years.. before that I drank nothing but tea.. do you mind me asking where you got a reputable list of high histamine foods.. I'm just guessing tomatoes are on the list because I appear to be having quite a bad reaction to them quite fast for me ..usually I will swell up the next day after eating something but with tomatoes it's within a few hours
Thank you so very much for your video. I have listened to so many videos on high histamine levels or histamine intolerance and this is the first clear relatable explanation that I have heard. This is my "Eureka" moment.
Yep, that's me. What worked for me is cutting out pulses, especially kidney beans, and switching to green smoothies. I drink 2.5 liters of green smoothies a day and I add around 80 grams of flax seeds. I have a Vitamix, but something like a NutriBullet works as well. I do use some spinach, but that turns out to be high in histamine. Broccoli and kale are better. I include around 30% fruit in my smoothie (apples are rich in quercetin), a kiwi for vitamin C (the gold ones with skin), and the rest (70%) is all vegetables. Having all that green goodness in my stomach allowed me to also take supplements within a few weeks.
Anxiety for myself is driven by cortisol and histamine I wish they would leave me. I used to love waking and enjoying the morning now my awakening response has changed. Morning now starts with extreme panic doom terror and everything you’ve said. It also gives me severe depression with SI that has to freaking wear off during the day. I feel normal at night and insane during the morning now. This sucks. Thank you for this video. I was abruptly stopped from 12 years of a benZo prescribed for sleep and anxiety. Benzos are mast cell stabilisers now I have severe issues because of this. I haven’t taken a benzo in two years now I still have the histamine intolerance. This withdrawal has caused extreme stress. I do have sibo sifo Candida with low hcl. I got akathisia from the stopping of the medication. My dopamine is broken now. No doctor know how to fix this issue. I’m also homozygous MTHFR reduced DAO high homocysteine. I swear histamine gives me psychosis. I have really bad endometriosis and my tubes are tied. I don’t know what my root cause is I also had a month long round of Cipro
I used to have the same morning anxiety. My mornings were full of dread followed by depression. I would suggest working on training your mind and body to find safety. Calming your nervous system. You have to incorporate the mind and body approach. Clean diet, avoiding foods that cause you symptoms. And working on teaching your body safety. Slowing down your thoughts, you have to learn the skill of separating thoughts from feelings. And being in your body.
@Filthycoffin -33 yrs. of benzo here, now 5 1/2 yrs. post withdrawl, which took me 2 yrs. in hell. Same issues as you. The burning skin, stroke level high blood pressure and severe insomnia are my worst symptoms.
@@evenform - I think we are all individual in this. Benadryl helps me a little but is very bad for your memory (my short term memory is gone). What has helped me the most is a very large dose of DAO enzymes (8 mgs.) at every meal. It has improved my sleep and my mood and lowered the post meal symptoms about 75%.
I had a stresser happen and since been sicker and sicker. I have stopped eating processed food sugars dairy..but then kept gettinf worse. Nauseous gut issues ANXIETY LEVEL 20. But my throat lymph in neck and tongue irritated with. Have lost 35lbs in a month. Due to lack of eating. Sound like maybe histamine intolerance ?
I’ve heard the same thing about Quercetin increasing estrogen. Also some methylation gene variants should avoid it, particularly if you have a homozygous mutation in your estrogen detox pathways (like me).
Hello, this is very informative video..but my question is how do we know that we have high in Histamine? Beacuse im experiencing most of the time with anxiety, feeling tired, weakness, brain fog, restless, sometimes itchy in my face, etc. Hope you will answer my question.. thanks so much.
What do you use to bind the histamine? Ive been gluten free for decades, but I notice problems with gf grains and high oxalate foods. Also, fermented dairy and grains, like sourdough cause problems in my brain. Its a strange headache. I can tolerate fermented vegetables though. What supplements would you suggest? Im post menopausal and eat a low oxalate diet.
I started a low histamine diet and only a week later I feel SO much better!! Much more calm. I have no reason to have anxiety from my life. It was like an internal driven edginess -can’t sit still, can’t relax, insomnia Ugh some people have IBS, migraines. No fermented foods for me at all now. Gluten free for years now stopping dairy too. Trouble is … so many healthy foods are high in histamines (avocados, cultured dairy, my favorite snack used to be nitrate free salami, cheese, red wine and olives! Treacherous! ! Try low histamine diet?
I have so many issues and the symptoms are progressively getting worse. I have depression ( on antidepressants) allergic rhinitis & consequently nasal polyps, asthma, pms, insomnia, dyspenia, puritis , bloating, pain in upper gut after eating & now skin irritation. I can’t wait to book in with you! I need a lot of help asap.
Thankyou for the video, BUT Ive been taking omeprazole for 30yrs and paxil for 31yrs, due to hiatal hernia and GERD, im trying to reduce the PPI but then get rebound acid and tbroat burns, im damned if I do and damned if i dont it seems, what can I do? I have sifo and so avoid fruits and take sacc boulardii and anti fungal herbs/spices such as ginger/turmeric, thyme, rosemary, sage, oregano. I dont have sibo but have gluten and dairy intolerances, Im down to chicken no skin, rocket, zucchini, bok choy, olive oil, sea salt and water, pumpkin and gluten free bread. Ive tried substituting the ppi with slippery elm, dgl, tums (calcium tab to reduce acid) Gaviscon but those last two make allergic reactions worse, tried carnivore but beef is 'rested' here in England for 3 weeks and so its high in histamine, I thonk if I could stop taking the acid reducers then i could be healed, infact ivr been taking only half the ppi dose and.my symptoms qre worse maybe the esophagus gets damged and esonophils increase and cause histamines to shoot up as well?
All of the things that you're listing off seem to be some sort of deficiency in the immune system that is probably arising from a deficiency in the person's diet such as zinc or magnesium, or maybe even a vitamin. And these are things that you can't always measure for. However, farmers only put three main nutrients back into the soil when plants remove hundreds from the soil and our soil isn't alive anymore. Like there is no microbiome to the soil. Most of it is just dead with a couple of nutrients in it. So of course people are going to be having these new medical conditions. But I do think being in Australia you should be considering being over vitamin D as opposed to under vitamin D😅
Hi. It's really interesting. It makes sense but may be something is missing. 😊 You said that the gut is sensitive to histamine. Is it possible the mucus is lacking or gut is leaking? FUT2 and fucose are may be an point to consider ? I am currently waiting the FUT2 tests results. Have a good day and many thanks to you

You are so right about oxalates. I had all those symptoms before starting a low oxalate diet.
Could you list the recommended supplements? B12, vitamin d, and digestive enzymes?
B complex b1 b6 b9 b12, Vitamin D with MK7
Adding Magnesium Gliconate. Vitamin C
Please how can I contact you about all these high histamine symptoms I'm experiencing... my brain is exhausted from the histamine overload
What did you say that you take at night with high histamine??
Yeah, please elaborate kinda hard to hear what you are saying toxic prevent?!
Toxaprevent its zeolite. Biotraxx is a cheaper one.

Toxaprevent
How can this apply to men in terns of histamine?

Look up DAO supplement - it’s the enzyme that some people are low in that breaks down the histamine.
Unfortunately all grains contain some form of gluten.

My estradiol level is less than .5 on BHRT. So im not absorbing it.... have high histamine. So its not related to estrogen... ideas?
Maybe you still have low progesterone independent of your estradiol levels? I’m trying to sort this myself now as well.
