❗️ Histamine Sensitivity – But What’s Really Behind It?
More and more people today are being diagnosed with histamine intolerance. Doctors usually hand out a list of foods to avoid wine, cheese, sauerkraut, tomatoes, avocado, chocolate… and the list goes on.
But the real question is: Why did you become sensitive to histamine in the first place?
Why can’t your body break it down or tolerate it the way others can?
🧠 What Is Histamine?
Histamine is a natural compound produced by the body and found in many foods. It plays important roles in:
immune responses (like allergies),
stomach acid production,
and communication within the nervous system.
The problem arises when histamine levels get too high, or your body can’t break it down efficiently — often due to a lack of the DAO enzyme (diamine oxidase).
🔍 The Root Causes That Often Go Unseen
The latest scientific research suggests that many chronic illnesses, inflammatory issues, allergies, and hormonal imbalances are linked to a disrupted gut microbiome — particularly an overgrowth of bad bacteria, fungi, or parasites.
On top of that, travel is now accessible to almost everyone, unlike in the past — which means we’re exposed to foreign parasites and pathogens that our gut isn’t prepared to handle. These organisms work silently in the background, disrupting gut balance, the immune system, and detox pathways — and can trigger histamine intolerance symptoms without anyone connecting the dots.
🤯 Common Histamine Sensitivity Symptoms:
Itching, rashes, hives
Headaches, migraines
Rapid heartbeat, anxiety
Hot flashes, facial flushing
Bloating, stomach pain, diarrhea
Runny nose or congestion after meals
Insomnia, irritability
💡 What Can You Do?
✅ Focus on the root cause, not just the symptoms.
First steps:
Restore gut microbiome balance (with probiotics, fermented foods – gently!)
Do a gentle parasite and antifungal cleanse
Eat an anti-inflammatory diet
Support your liver (milk thistle, turmeric, lemon water)
Support DAO enzyme function (with B6, zinc, magnesium)
🗣️ Final Thoughts:
Histamine sensitivity is not a life sentence. It’s a message from your body that something deeper is out of balance.
By targeting the root causes, healing your gut, supporting your liver, calming your immune system, your symptoms can ease or even disappear completely.
Don’t just avoid the food… heal the cause. 💚
