Histamine Intolerance, MCAS & Mastocytosis. Differences, symptoms and more - and how I found out I already as a child had some histamine symptoms!

Histamines are a chemical messenger and neurotransmitter. Histamine is involved in immune messaging, the inflammatory response and digestion (excreting ever-important stomach acid). We have four types of histamine receptors located all over our body, from our skin and intestines, to our ce

Histamine block is a diamine oxidase enzyme supplement that can be taken before meals to help with the breakdown of histamine from food.

A riboflavin deficiency can cause symptoms of histamine intolerance, as vitamin B2 is a nutrient less spoken about involved in methylation and the production of SAMe. SAMe is a methyl donor that is a co-factor for the HNMT enzyme to metabolizes intracellular histamine into N-methylhistamine, which is further broken down by the MAO B gene in which FAD (the active form of B2) is the co-factor.

We asked a doctor and dietitian to share low and high histamine foods for those with histamine intolerance.

Following a low-histamine diet can help reduce symptoms of histamine intolerance, but at times you may want to enjoy some high histamine foods without having a histamine reaction. And that's where a DAO enzyme supplement comes in handy, as you can take it 15 minutes before you consume histamine rich foods or beverages to help with histamine metabolism in the digestive tract.

A common cause of histamine intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a deficiency in DAO. DAO stands for Diamine oxidase and when this

When there is a build-up of histamine in the body, we feel allergic to the universe. Life is absolutely miserable. We don’t know why this happens and doctors don’t really seem to be much help. They do a blood test, tell you it is clinically high, or only a little high, and then don’t give …
