You were very lucky to have your doctors listen to you, because you're a doctor. Many people keep pushing for a reason and are told to take an antidepressant. We need big change in our medical industry. It's not health care, it's disease management. I think the % of people that have this is drastically higher. A lot of people that have gluten issues really have or eventually have these issues. I have progressed to the point of having to do meat only, beef, nothing long cooked or left over. I hope one day I can reintroduce some foods, but these would also be the same foods that caused the issue so doesn't really make sense. Many people don't notice until it's very severe and healing a leaky gut takes a long time. Tolerating a food isn't the same as proper human diet as Dr. Berry would say. People want to always go back to a "normal" diet. If that normal diet causes diseases, how is that normal?
I was following a very restrictive anti histamine diet, but I recently discovered that drinking 16 ounces of celery juice every morning, as recommended by the Medical Medium’s book, has helped to improve my histamine intolerance symptoms in just two weeks. I noticed I can now eat small amounts of chocolate, raisins and a few other foods that had triggered symptoms before. I plan to continue with the celery juice, which has also improved my overall digestion. I mentioned this because perhaps this could benefit others. I don’t eat eggs, gluten, dairy, or bad fats.
Drinking celery juice or celery decoction is an old formula used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries . By the way it’s also good for hypertension and for edema issues.
Wow. I wonder if this celery juice could help others. I have insomnia for 7 years from histamine intolerance and oxalate, glutamate too. :( so things I eat do not affect me until evening when I try to sleep. . I am not sure if I have leaky gut or Sibo. I have very low stomach acid and have to take HCL & enzymes with every meal. Im Celiac for 30 years so I am gluten free. If I have Sibo, its silent sibo. BC I dont have any of the symptoms. But I am going to get tested because I need to find out the root cause. :( this very restricted diet is killing me. I went on the SCD diet 7 years ago for several mos to heal my gut. I healed malabsorption, brain fog, depression etc. on this diet but I had insomnia and could never heal it. (bone broth, L Glutamine, fermented foods are full of histamine!!)
@@moshka1977 Thank you for asking! I have cut back on the celery juice since then, and switched to a low Fodmap diet last month. I am experimenting with different programs until I find what works the best for me. The low Fodmap seems to also reduce my histamine symptoms. Best wishes!
@@rhondawingerter7062 Ok, but I don't have any problem with it . I drink One mug every morning . Chiccory contains inulin actually healthy for the gut .
Thanks! I been dealing with histamin issues for ages! I agree on all of this. No gluten, no dairy, food as fresh as posible, any thing that increase digestion.
This really hits home for me, especially the exercise part! I have been sooo confused for the longest time as to why i couldn't tolerate exercise even in small ammounts and this explanation really just hit the nail on the head for me. I'm looking forward to incorporating your advice and cutting out the high histamine foods and hopefully seeing results. I was just so confused as to why i was feeling much worse everytime i started to eat really healthy also, my face would get puffy, skin would get itchy, fatigue, anxiety bp issues, depression, paleness, puffy eyes, bloodshot eyes, dry flaky skin, excessive gas, bloating etc. All of these symptoms got WORSE when i ate a really healthy diet and it always left me so deflated and confused as to why that was.
Exactly the same symptoms, angioedema, urticaria, skin peeling like burned. It's hard because the dermatologist just to give you corticosteroids or methotrexate and ignores your diet or leaky gut.
@@jmanuelforero3850 thats exactly why I stopped going to doctors unless I need a prescription or blood tests. I was spending all this money on copayments and no progress. I’m taking a low histamine probiotic and I’m better. Not there yet but better.
I have been basically inflaming my body eating healthy! I have been trying to figure out for years my IBS triggers, anxiety, urgency, eye lids puffy, patches on my eyes area, constant watery eyes, swelling in my body after eating, boils, on and on. I have everyone of the symptoms except migraines. I was so exhausted mentally and physically going to specialist, getting so many tests, finally going to a functional doctor (that never talked about sibo, histamine intolerance!) which never helped heal me. I was just done! My life was my food and I had to move on. I decided I would just eat as healthy as I could and move on with my life. Eggs, avocado, strawberries, dark chocolate, mushrooms, canned tuna, lemon, limes, pumpkin, vinegars (daily with my salad), pineapple. After 3 years I was looking so aged, my nails, hair were dry brittle, anxiety was all the time and my IBS was worse than ever. I came across the histamine intolerance about 2 months ago and look up foods that are high in histamine and I was eating every single food because I was so limited in my food selections. I started the eliminating and the first week I could already see a difference. Thanks for the explanation, I have just been reading as much as I can and hope to find a doctor that I can go to that actual knows about histamine and mast cell in my area.
I get EXTREMELY puffy eyelids too ..And asthma is worsened after everything I eat. I even did carnivore but reacted to pure fat and meat too in the end.🤪 I'm eating very "healthy" too. How is it going for you?
@@cammieklund Well actually my eyelids are awful right now, watery eyes, itchy ears, tired! I have been eating dark chocolate because I feel I need SOMETHING yummy. I need to evaluate again because I was doing really good for awhile.
@@rhondawingerter7062 Yeah, I've been eating some things again too that I hadn't eaten for a year! It's exhausting to always try to eat as clean as possible.🤪
This is excellent. I went on the carnivore diet and had drastic results, yet hit a wall. Then I learned about the importance of DAOs and the need to kill of SIFO. I started taking DAO supplements (Zypan from Standard Process, Formula 3 Amylase from NESS) and a SIFO or candida killer (Undecylenic Acid Formula SF722 from Thorne). Huge difference, and I mean HUGE! Less than 24 hours and my inflammation all over my body shrunk massively. Woke up and looked like me again…urinated a river 2 times in 30 min upon waking. It was crazy! Planning on using Ancestral supplements kidney, organs and bone & marrow supplements as a maintenance once this gets under control. Can’t stress enough how helpful thes DAOs are. SIBO nearly had me hospitalized because I literally could not eat or drink anything, not even water because the pain would get to near kidney stone level and I would vomit. Carnivore diet helped tremendously to start and then this protocol is just pushing the healing even further.
Similar issues and the carnivore diet has greatly helped me as well. I can only eat beef, rabbit, hard boiled eggs, Brazil nuts and blueberries. I react to everything else. It is very frustrating but at least the symptoms are few and far between now (I was practically bed bound in the past), so long as I only eat fresh meat. I am doing a multi day fast, I heard that heals the gut faster. Good luck to you!
@@saltyprepper5513 Bless your heart. I’m sorry for your struggles :( Have you tried the supplements Grace tried? Seems like it’s really important to kill any possible infection. ❤️
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist yes, I take Ancestral Supplements Kidney which has DAO in it. It helps. I also take AS pancreas and gallbladder. I can't take synthetic supplements. I react horribly to magnesium, I think I am also oxalate intolerant and it causes oxalate dumping? I take a Histamine probiotic as well. The consequences are so bad I'm afraid to try too many new supplements.
I have had histamine issues since I was ten. I have been on Benadryl all my life. Welts so on even my lips swelled I thought I would have to go to the ER Last year. Stress. Always had low blood pressure and now for a year I have high blood pressure. When I finally heard about this and did my homework I knew I found the way to a life without pain and illness everyday.
This just started happening to me last month (June 2022), swollen lips and serious hive outbreak. Sometimes the swelling moves around my lips and face. Never had any of these things before in all my life well over 30.
Benadryl may help symptoms short term but it depletes your body’s DAO and therefore creates a worse histamine problem. I never had a problem with histamine until I took benadryl for an extended time for sleep. Now I am super duper sensitive to tiny amounts of histamine:(
That’s my main issue too. I found great help using DAO enzymes with my food, star anise extract- 2 droppers a day, and Oxy hive spray, 2 sprays under tongue 2x day.
Doing a 72 hour fast (drink salt water for hydration) will actually force your body thru autophagy to eat the mast cells. For people who have MCAS doing a 72 Hr fast once a month you can go back to eating in moderation everything except what you’re genuinely allergic to. Truly a LIFE SAVER. There is only ONE research paper on this of science to prove it but the results from humans who fast and do this like myself is REAL 🎉🎉🎉🎉. More Doctors need to educate Themselves
That is fabulous news. Not many people read the comments, You should post a video on this! I wish I could fast. I have Insulin Resistance and Insomnia from Histamine Intolerance. Oh I so wish I could fast!!! :(
I’m glad I found you both and all this information. I’ve been reading about the low histamine diet. I have Chronic Migraines, Allergic Rhinitis, and IBS-D. The last 4 months have off and on diarrhea. I’ve been Vegan for over 20 years now more whole food plant based. The last year HBP in the ER twice w ALL these symptoms last month. Dr’s couldn’t figure out what was going on. Diagnosis’s we’re all over the place migraines were the worst ever I felt like my head was ready to explode?!!! thought it was just me. Thank you for all of this information and sorry you went through all of this too. I would like to try the low histamine diet but I guess that’s trial and error also
i was vegetarian and ate lots of fruit and vegs. I was poisening myself. After covid it went really really bad. I cant eat a lot anymore and still with low histamine dieet i get violently ill from vegs and herbs i could take with the dieet. Oxolate and sulphur. But i can sleep for the first time in my life no headaches not bloathed no edema lost a lot of weight and look years younger. It is a puzzle.
Great video! I've noticed as well I can't eat bone broth and this explains why. Excellent reminder as well on how meditation and rest can be helpful with digestion. Thanks for all the useful information about histamine!
Dr. Ginsburg, you really have a gift at explaining this in a way that everyone can grasp and can help give you tools immediately to start making changes. I am a retired 30 year respiratory therapist and I’ve had so many experiences throughout those years that led me to checking outside the box for answers. Thank you for all this great information! New subscriber here!
Happy to have found your video. I have been looking for answers for years now and recently found out about this and believe this is my issue. I have genetic heart disease and had quadruple bypass surgery when I was 39 so that has made figuring this out even harder. I get chest/stomach pain when stressed or doing anything physical. My blood pressure has gone as high as 233/131 during one of these episodes. I have not had/been a high blood pressure person my whole life. I recently also had an episode of exercise induced anaphylaxis. I wasn’t exercising but just doing something that required physical exertion. It was really weird but I was able to get it to stop with Benadryl. I got a referral from my cardiologist to see an allergist so hopefully this is the right path. This is making my life extremely difficult and frustrating. Thanks for the video.
Людмила, у меня та же история. Что помогло мне это интервальное голодание и все что девочки сказали. Quercetin Betaine and pepsin. Конечно убрала углеводы, я про быстрые
I know green tea is on that list, but it’s one thing (along with white tea) that has helped me. Like you said, it’s an individual thing. I had read on a NCAS blog, before I started green tea, that it’s caffeine isn’t the same type that causes histamine reactions in something like soda or chocolate. I also heard of a case where a guy got liver disease from drinking so much green tea daily (as far as I know he wasn’t having histamine problems). It’s just scary... All of this try and hit or miss is scary. Being sick all the time with no help, no real help or relief is scary. The bigger question is…WHY ARE SO MANY OF US GETTING SICK LIKE THIS!!? What is poisoning us? !!!
corn is the culprit. It’s hidden in everything and conventional allergy testing refuses to include it you have to get MRT testing and the majority of people are corn intolerant because corn in today’s world isn’t natural like it used to be. It’s not food. It’s completely annihilating our health and it’s LITERALLY. In. Everything. The only chips I can eat are Beanitos (luckily I love them.)
Oh wow, I have the same awful blood pressure spikes, shaking, panic attacks, insomnia. Had to quit going to the gym. Was sent home from the ER with xanax. Diet is now restricted, and I started taking vitamin d, magnesium, vitamin c. Still have bp spikes when I'm super stressed or during dr appointments (white coat syndrome) but I feel like I'm 50% better. Still don't sleep well. And the week before my period is still tough.
Vitamin C: you might consider changing your VitC supplement to a food source like Camu powder. I was taking VitC supplements knowing its good for lowering overall histamine in the body but through research discovered a lot of C is from fermented corn. I stopped the supplement, and felt better by the next day. I still had histamine symptoms but they improved. I now drink Camu in water throughout the day. Sleep: I work with my doctor, but have found that herbal supplements that affect Gaba work really well for sleep. I take Chinese Skullcap, American Skullcap, Valerian, Chamomile, and Hops in veggie cellulose capsules, and no other additives. There are others that could also help like Lemon Balm so look up a list of Gaba affecting herbs. Xanax is not a drug you want to be on for more than a few days, or in emergencies because it changes the brain. And depending on your age you might need hormone supplementation. Get a test of your hormone levels, and they usually start with progesterone pills from a compounding pharmacy. Progesterone helps with sleep and being calm.
I have much the same. I learned that I probably have MCAS. The only thing that works for insomnia for me is medical pot. Also take Quercetin and di amine oxidase enzyme
AMAZING vídeo!! ❤️ I have noticed much of what was said here, specially the nuts and alcohol!! I have asthma and I noticed asthma attacks after certain foods. I also noticed that I could eat some of the foods in a small quantity but not in large quantities, as was mentioned here! Also wine..I can drink it but not too much 😁!! I also have a sight pain in my right lower flank when I consume certain foods and it gets worse if I eat too much. I also have, on ocasion those headaches and my blood pressure went up. I know when I have a headache that my blood pressure is high (usually it's low) and it is around menstruation time but I take a magnedium / potassium suplemento and it goes down. I'm allergic to cats and I have one and I noticed when I eat certain foods, I'm more allergic than when I don't!! Só, this ALL makes perfect sense!! I knew my asthma had something to do with the gut becsuse I would feel a "line"!going from the gut to the throat when I had asthma (vagus neve) and that this only happened after certain foods!! I work out and usually eat healthy during the week and I noticed that asthma wouldn't bother me só much but on the weekend (wine, etc..) it would! I don't eat Meat anymore but still eat fish and I've noticed a great change in heatlth!! Thanks 🙏 a BUNCH for this video!! Great confirmation for me!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This is amazing. The digestive issues I have had for decades! Also when a flu or cold comes through the house, I am congested for weeks longer than anyone else (and usually followed by a bronchitis or sinusitis). Also bad peripheral circulation, headaches, neuropathy that goes all over my body... I’ve been better on a Paleo diet, but I see a notable digestive issue after eating tomatoes. I will have to do more research for my own individual tolerances.
Thank you for this. I have been suffering with chronic cluster headaches/migraines for 8 yrs and I always thought it was a depletion of DAO that keeps it going. I will continue to watch bc I need a lot of help in this area
I had a black tongue for years, since I have been taking kidney extract, DAO, in a couple of days my tongue is a beautiful pink again, crazy, I just hope in a bit more time my itchy eyes will get better.
@@cammieklund 500mh. But I tried others as well, I don’t think it matters too much. I also use oregano stuff from North American herb and spice company, which might have contributed.. I used to itch a lot, but no more now.
@@helenndow1101 Thanks! I'm not sure that I can buy that bcs I live in Sweden, but I will research it further. And it's possible there is a similar supplement here.🌸
When I eat citrus, chocolate, tomato sauce, my blood pressure skyrockets. I pretty much react to every food, especially citrus. I have resistant hypertension, no pharmaceuticals works. I never had this issues before, I have leaky gut, as I tested with Cyrex 2. I just want relief.
I started with Seeking Health Histamine block . It helped but I got these red marks on my upper arm (non itchy) , so I stopped it. That’s when I realised just how much it was actually helping me. That waking up in the morning with a sinus like headache, constantly having a stuffy nose etc had reduced so much. I’m now back on Seeking health Histamine Block (it’s a porcine DAO supplement) and the red bumps on my upper arm are a small price to pay.
That's what i thought too. I searched what can cause high histamine blood levels. I found that diamine oxidase (DAO) is the enzyme responsible of histamine degradation. So i searched what can cause DAO deficiency, and i found DAO biosynthesis requires vitamins B6, B12, iron, copper and vitamin C. My carnivore diet is definitely high in B6, B12, iron copper, but has always been very low on vitamin C, so i suspected this, despite no real scurvy symptoms. i took vitamin C supplements and it reversed my condition. I do not have rash after high histamine meal like hard cheese. I'm surprised myself. Source : mthfrsupport.com.au/2016/09/dao-deficiency-and-histamine-the-unlikely-connection/ "Vitamin C is well-known for its antihistaminic working. In a lot of cases, blood histamine levels are directly correlated to the vitamin C levels, and intake of vitamin C will lead to less histamine in a matter of days"
Thank you so much for this. It gave me a greater understanding of what's going on. Been dealing with this for almost 2 years. Anyone else have tinnitus as a symptom? That one is crazy for me. It went away for a month when my gut felt markedly better after doing a week of GI Doc prescribed med for IBS. That makes sense now why that may have worked as it calms things down which maybe closes some of the leaky gut broken barriers? Anyways, tinnitus started coming back a good week or so before the digestive stuff came back. It's totally correlated. This all started while on Keto and nuts were the first thing that seemed to cause episodes when it started. Now I know why. Histamine!
Wonderful talk ladies. I struggle so much with swelling in my nose and ears along with breakouts and bleeding! I feel like poo. I been working hard to heal. I am basically carnivore but have been eating cheese! I will try hard to change this. I need to heal golly. I been struggling feeling sick flu like for 20 years now. Sigh! I wish I had a coach to help me through this!
I’m being treated with steroids and high doses of antihistamines, for Chronic Urticaria. I was also diagnosed years ago with leaky gut and SIBO. My question is how do I heal my gut when many of the foods used to treat gut issues are not compatible with a low histamine diet?
Fresh vegetables raw or steamed, fresh beef or chicken, season with salt only, use ghee or tallow for fat. Drink only water. I included kefir but not everyone can tolerate it. I did this for three months. Healed my gut, cured my headaches
I am a kabor and delivery nurse and relate with the Doctor. I get these sudden soaring BP's then later sfter a little ativan it calms down. I started taking Dulse Red seaweed when ut happens abd ut knocks diwn that BP within an hour and a half. Started liw Histamine diet with Quercitin daily and a little DAO later in the day. DAO makes me sleepy. I like staying up late...bad habit and hard for me to break...working on it!! As a labor and delivery nurse you get hooked on the daily high adrenaline. I take at bedtime Lemon Balm mixed with Ashwhaganda...i use Vimergy non alcoholic tincture. One dropperful of each. Lemon balm calms the central nervous system and Ashwhaganda calms and restires your adrenal glands. Both systems work tigether so we need to nourish them after the high stress days!!❤
A GIMAP for me was very helpful to find out what's going on in the gut.. I am unfortunately trying to figure out a course of action on my own as being unemployed is limiting me to natural doctors..
Yes, if your body is unable to offload that histamine. Avoiding leftover animal protein can be helpful as histamine increases in animal foods after they are cooked. Or you can freeze leftovers.
the ideal fasting for MCAS is a BARE MINIMUM of 48 hours (No vitamins no supplements only high quality salt and water) but ideally 72 hours. This guarantees the autophagy process of the body to literally EAT the Mast cells. When you eat a trigger food after you won’t have the mast cell memory to react to that food anymore. One 48-72 hr fast will put someone in remission from MCAS for a few months, so it’s advised to do every 1-3 months. I’m doing one monthly for safety but also just all the amazing benefits. Zero allergies, no asthma, no anxiety, no indigestion, no brain fog, no depression, no mood swings, the list goes on..... ❤
Fasting is basically the most powerful healing modality there is, there's a reason it's been used for thousands of years. It takes 3-4 days to enter in to ketosis and that is where the deepest healing begins.. so 5-7+ days. And if you're trying to heal something serious it may take 20-30 days on water or 11-14 days dry fasting.
Thanks for posting.. I’ve been on a journey of learning about histamine intolerance/mast cell activation syndrome for a few months now after an extreme spike in symptoms. You are the first athlete to talk about how the physical activity impacts the ability to heal our gut. I’m a former powerlifter/lifelong lifter & I suspected it was playing a role in this.. Thank you. It will be difficult to curb old habits of pushing myself.. but I’m willing to try. Should we always try to exercise (and also sleep)on an empty stomach? Great info 🙏🏼
Definitely go to sleep with the last meal being at least 3 hours before bed. But exercising in a fasted state depends on your goals and how much you can push yourself. If you can still get a good workout in while fasted, it definitely has its benefits.
Is there any connection between salicylate intolerance and histamine? I unfortunately have both 😢 It makes eating almost anything very difficult. What foods are salicylate and histamine free? What DAO is vegetarian? Pls have a utube on this.
This vedioes finally made my doubts clear . I have histamine intolerance and I since 11 grade and I was able to figure out when I went on elimination diet
I regularly make bone broth to support my gut; I make a big crockpot full - this lasts a week. Based on this video, I cannot eat this past a day........... I don't "feel bad after eating bone broth" (just the opposite). I guess that I could freeze the bone broth in individual containers. I'm 67 and post-menopausal, so that bit doesn't apply. I have gone gluten free but will now go dairy free as well......AND, I have heart palpitations (afib) for the past 6 months - echocardiogram shows perfectly normal heart..........I have been a runner for 47 years (had to stop after afib diagnosis - only because my heart rate went 180+). I think that my primary causation is STRESS......physical, from being an avid athlete, but also self-induced due to the regimen that I set for myself (daily list building of tasks...taking me from morning to night).........points to ponder.
Why did my doc tell me this ain’t real Only mast cell activation syndrome I got orthorexia because idk what the hell to eat anymore I don’t have celiac but everyone says gluten devil I have low blood sugar so need health complex carbs I have hives urticaria but can’t treat because antihistamines dry u and I have sjorgens like symptoms Also high cholesterol 300 Told stroke by 40 I need to know what to eat I am terrified of food now and never eat
Mast cell is the same thing. I'm so sorry. Do an elimination, just eat 3 foods for a week or two and add one by one 3 days in between. Your body will tell you. You have to eat dude.
@@talksick508 start with things you know for sure don't bother you or plain white rice, beef/ turkey and a few safe fruits and vegetables. See how you go for few weeks. You really need help from a good holistic practioner / nutritionist. Forget doctors. They will just cause you stress
Go lowcarb or even keto. Lots of recipes and info about these diet /lifestyles here on youtube. Avoid sugar. Its poison. Drink enough water, tea and decaf if you must. make your own broth/soup from chicken or beef and eat darkgreen leafy veggies. Lots of meat, fish, wggs. Use butter. No oil! No fruits just strawberries or black berries because those have little fruitsugar which is as bad as sugar is. Look up the book DrAtkins wrote, The new revolution index on Google or do as i did. Buy his book in a secondhand store. It will teach you só much and will help you feel way better in time. Give it time. But it takes determination and no cheating where it comes to sugar, honey, fruits etc. Learn. I did and it really helped me in several ways. It Will work. Sincerely, from the Netherlands. 🌷
OMG. This is it! That's why dr. of TCM basically allowed me to eat rice, and cooked grains like buckwheat, millet, legumes, eggs, that was basically it. Very neutral food. No fresh food, yogurt. I could add a little bit of cooked vegetables but later on. My digestion was really poor. I wasn't allowed to workout.... Now I understand. She basically totally knew what was wrong with me, but their medicine language is so different.
@@cillian6842 Hi! Sorry for the late response. YT didn't notify me about your comment. So my health at that time was really really bad. To the point that the TCM doctor said that it would be a success if we get me to the stable state where I will be able to live as normally as possible. I'm still visiting her. But right now we are talking about getting to the level of getting pregnant, which means that I'm much much better now, I'm almost at 100%.
This is me to a tee. I've been told it's anxiety. I finally found an allergist who believes me. The histamine restricted diet has helped. Mine started on the fourth rapid dose of allergy shots during the pandemic. I've been sick 50% of the time in the past 6 months. When I have a bad episode I go back to rice and broccoli and some chicken. I eat almost no processed food and freeze all my leftovers immediately. Thank you. I feel less crazy. Does DAO supplementation help? I take B6, Quercertin, zinc, vitamin C and a specially formulated probiotic. My throat feels "funky" too.
I think in the case of Multiple Sclerosis it involves 4 different types of Histamine at the same time. H1-Allergy, H2-Gut, H3-CNS, H4-White blood cells. We can effectively treat H1 and H2. There is no effective treatment for H3 and H4 yet though.
Chocolate, tomatoes, nuts and other of these foods are also really high in oxalates which will also cause histamine problems. Plant toxins are a real problem.
I’ve always put a lot of thought into what I eat and after having an extended period of stress after moving to another country my gut when haywire. I obsessed over what I was eating and it seemed like I couldn’t have anything w out a negative reaction. Later realized the importance of reducing cortisol and being mindful in my day to day activities. Once stress reduced for an extended period of time (it takes time to heal, another thing I learned lol) my digestion has improved tremendously
Same here i come back to my hometown from USA after taking 3 antibiotics, having SIBO and huge histamine intolerance that led me to non stop asthma. Here in Russia I can’t say its 50% better though. I noticed too that stress even make these brochoconstriction worse, and that I suddenly having asthma attack even when i’m not eating (in stressful situation). I’m making a lot of research on that seems that I’m literally having this.
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist just got the ct of the lungs with contrast. They say I got emphysema (thought I got asthma), but still have to send this scan to pumponologist to have a look at it. Histamine issues/mcas/cognitive problems - I beat it, no longer a problem, thanks to nootropics, except I still have reflux and LPR. Still healing. My heart beat fast.
@@LestoFremo How wonderful that you beat those things with nootropics!! 🙌🏻🎉 Sorry about your lung issues. :( Do you have a nebulizer? That can be super helpful. I nebulize a hydrogen peroxide & saline solution as well as colloidal silver. I hope your lungs go back to normal soon! 🙏🏻
I have ordered clean quality green peas for sprouting from a sprouting company. When sprouted they have an abundant source of DAO. A Dr uses them with her patients effectively, I saw on a video. My sprouts will be ready tomorrow!!! Quercetin and esp Nettles and Skullcap in a tincture (I make) is very helpful. Thank you for this wonderful information about the gut and staying in the parasympathetic system. Excellent information. I appreciate it.
I don't know about curing, but a lot of people with histamine intolerance have issues with bad bacteria in their intestines. Getting a low histamine probiotic like the monk one may help. You will also want to do everything you can to gradually increase good bacteria to crowd out the bad like consuming extra virgin oil every day on an empty stomach, cooked vegetables and adding variety over time. That's my best guess.
Nice informative video ladies, I take thyroid Medication T3 i heard that thryoid meds can increase histamine reaction? Also when I eat at dinner time a bigger meal I get crazy symptoms like: Headaches, dizzy, anxiety, irritability, head pressure body movements become a bit more hard to do hand cramp on the fork heart beating a lil faster could this all be related to increased histamine in my body? And it night I like Dr Ginsberg had which is the going to sleep and waking up through out the night. Edit I have asthma also
What's your take on cassava/tapioca flour? It appears on some low histamine lists but I get confused with how long we can use it for since leftovers are not allowed. How long should I keep the flour on my fridge? Thank you so much for this video.
You both have been an blessing for me. I have mass cell reaction from hell. I know about the foods but healing the gut. Now thays an whole different story. Tried pro biotic didn't work well. Going to try L Glycine , already carnivore. My D is 10 so taking 20 iu daily and magnesium, feel better today.
Where are you guys? What kind of practitioners are you? I don't eat meat but I've had a histamine problem for a long time and have seen several practitioners, to no avail.
Start with eating just soft boiled eggs and broccoli or (home made) coleslaw for a few days. Then re-introduce one low-histamine food for three days in a row to see how you react to it and make sure not to eat too many histamine releasing foods.
Is Hiatel Hernia connected to this Histamine Sensitivity? I too have severe hypertension where no medication works; I notice that teas, oxalates, and citrus bothers me and keeps my blood pressure high. My MDs can’t even help me but give me more drugs.
Amazing information, I've been on a roller coaster whereby I was having pile like and anal fissure symptoms and went through the UK hospital process, having endoscopies, blood tests, pills, etc, the doctors found nothing and in the end, by a process of elimination, I discovered it was porrdige that I was having every morning! I replaced that with bran flakes. I know I have poor digestion, low HCL, low enzymes, maybe low bile, etc, and have tried all sorts of supplememts and herbs but can't seem to fix it 😔
I have cut out a lot of stuff, but the problem is I have IBS (FODMAP), acid reflux (have to avoid acid forming foods), and of course the foods that contribute to histamines. It seems like doctors are not sure what causes histamine intolerance. I'm leaning towards gut dysbiosis as I had bad food poisoning many years ago.
I had reflux and started taking the supplement HCL with Pepsin by Thorne with each meal. My reflux went away, and my stomach no longer hurts. The dosage varies with each person and there are online guidelines for figuring your dosage out. Conventional medicine believes people have too much stomach acid, but naturopathic medicine believes the opposite, not enough. I think the naturopaths got it right bc many people are on PPIs to lower acid and studies show very bad results.
Who else is watching this while having an reaction?
Thank you for explaining it
yes haha
I'm literally in tears. I found this video by accident and it was no one but the good Lord. So many answers.
He is so good indeed! ❤
You were very lucky to have your doctors listen to you, because you're a doctor. Many people keep pushing for a reason and are told to take an antidepressant. We need big change in our medical industry. It's not health care, it's disease management. I think the % of people that have this is drastically higher. A lot of people that have gluten issues really have or eventually have these issues. I have progressed to the point of having to do meat only, beef, nothing long cooked or left over. I hope one day I can reintroduce some foods, but these would also be the same foods that caused the issue so doesn't really make sense. Many people don't notice until it's very severe and healing a leaky gut takes a long time. Tolerating a food isn't the same as proper human diet as Dr. Berry would say. People want to always go back to a "normal" diet. If that normal diet causes diseases, how is that normal?
Make sure you have enough stomach acid and bile
It's not even management of anything except how to keep the egregious money rolling in. MDs are worthless and at best are fake healers
@@pabloblanco2656 I don’t even go to MDs unless I need a prescription. I was paying a lot of money and no results.
@@bornwin-sx9oz exactly. That's the problem with the amERRORican healthcare system
can you tolerate ground beef and grocery store cuts of meat?
I was following a very restrictive anti histamine diet, but I recently discovered that drinking 16 ounces of celery juice every morning, as recommended by the Medical Medium’s book, has helped to improve my histamine intolerance symptoms in just two weeks. I noticed I can now eat small amounts of chocolate, raisins and a few other foods that had triggered symptoms before. I plan to continue with the celery juice, which has also improved my overall digestion. I mentioned this because perhaps this could benefit others. I don’t eat eggs, gluten, dairy, or bad fats.
Drinking celery juice or celery decoction is an old formula used in traditional Chinese medicine for centuries . By the way it’s also good for hypertension and for edema issues.
Wow. I wonder if this celery juice could help others. I have insomnia for 7 years from histamine intolerance and oxalate, glutamate too. :( so things I eat do not affect me until evening when I try to sleep. . I am not sure if I have leaky gut or Sibo. I have very low stomach acid and have to take HCL & enzymes with every meal. Im Celiac for 30 years so I am gluten free. If I have Sibo, its silent sibo. BC I dont have any of the symptoms. But I am going to get tested because I need to find out the root cause. :( this very restricted diet is killing me. I went on the SCD diet 7 years ago for several mos to heal my gut. I healed malabsorption, brain fog, depression etc. on this diet but I had insomnia and could never heal it. (bone broth, L Glutamine, fermented foods are full of histamine!!)
How's it going Cynthia? Are you making good progress with the celery juice? If so, please share the details?
@@moshka1977 Thank you for asking! I have cut back on the celery juice since then, and switched to a low Fodmap diet last month. I am experimenting with different programs until I find what works the best for me. The low Fodmap seems to also reduce my histamine symptoms. Best wishes!
Thank you for your update! It's great to hear that you are making progress and interesting to hear about how!
I can’t believe you forgot coffee. I eliminated everything but continued to have problems until I finally eliminated coffee.
I got out of regular coffee. Once in a blue moon I made a very light one and add coconut oil and honey and no problem that way.
Chicory root can be drink as coffee
@@annamaria1972 Anyone with IBS be cautious of chicory its a trigger.
@@rhondawingerter7062 Ok, but I don't have any problem with it . I drink One mug every morning . Chiccory contains inulin actually healthy for the gut .
@@annamaria1972 Thats great! Everything that I have problems with is healthy for the gut, hence histamine intolerence :(
Your symptoms are exactly what mine had been dealing with for the last 3 weeks! IM SO GLAD I FOUND YOU!
Can I eat Papaya empty stomach
Thanks! I been dealing with histamin issues for ages! I agree on all of this. No gluten, no dairy, food as fresh as posible, any thing that increase digestion.
eliminating gluten 3 years ago made such a difference in my life
Please tell me more of what you did? What do you eat?
So so glad this team put an emphasis on the individual affects of different triggers. Thankyou!
This really hits home for me, especially the exercise part! I have been sooo confused for the longest time as to why i couldn't tolerate exercise even in small ammounts and this explanation really just hit the nail on the head for me. I'm looking forward to incorporating your advice and cutting out the high histamine foods and hopefully seeing results. I was just so confused as to why i was feeling much worse everytime i started to eat really healthy also, my face would get puffy, skin would get itchy, fatigue, anxiety bp issues, depression, paleness, puffy eyes, bloodshot eyes, dry flaky skin, excessive gas, bloating etc. All of these symptoms got WORSE when i ate a really healthy diet and it always left me so deflated and confused as to why that was.
Exactly the same symptoms, angioedema, urticaria, skin peeling like burned.
It's hard because the dermatologist just to give you corticosteroids or methotrexate and ignores your diet or leaky gut.
@@jmanuelforero3850 thats exactly why I stopped going to doctors unless I need a prescription or blood tests. I was spending all this money on copayments and no progress. I’m taking a low histamine probiotic and I’m better. Not there yet but better.
garlic is high histamine but an allicin supplement is great for helping sibo.
I have been basically inflaming my body eating healthy! I have been trying to figure out for years my IBS triggers, anxiety, urgency, eye lids puffy, patches on my eyes area, constant watery eyes, swelling in my body after eating, boils, on and on. I have everyone of the symptoms except migraines. I was so exhausted mentally and physically going to specialist, getting so many tests, finally going to a functional doctor (that never talked about sibo, histamine intolerance!) which never helped heal me. I was just done! My life was my food and I had to move on. I decided I would just eat as healthy as I could and move on with my life. Eggs, avocado, strawberries, dark chocolate, mushrooms, canned tuna, lemon, limes, pumpkin, vinegars (daily with my salad), pineapple. After 3 years I was looking so aged, my nails, hair were dry brittle, anxiety was all the time and my IBS was worse than ever. I came across the histamine intolerance about 2 months ago and look up foods that are high in histamine and I was eating every single food because I was so limited in my food selections. I started the eliminating and the first week I could already see a difference. Thanks for the explanation, I have just been reading as much as I can and hope to find a doctor that I can go to that actual knows about histamine and mast cell in my area.
I get EXTREMELY puffy eyelids too ..And asthma is worsened after everything I eat. I even did carnivore but reacted to pure fat and meat too in the end.🤪 I'm eating very "healthy" too. How is it going for you?
@@cammieklund Well actually my eyelids are awful right now, watery eyes, itchy ears, tired! I have been eating dark chocolate because I feel I need SOMETHING yummy. I need to evaluate again because I was doing really good for awhile.
@@rhondawingerter7062 Yeah, I've been eating some things again too that I hadn't eaten for a year! It's exhausting to always try to eat as clean as possible.🤪
@@cammieklund you said it EXhausting!
I'm experiencing this and I'm losing hope
This is excellent. I went on the carnivore diet and had drastic results, yet hit a wall. Then I learned about the importance of DAOs and the need to kill of SIFO. I started taking DAO supplements (Zypan from Standard Process, Formula 3 Amylase from NESS) and a SIFO or candida killer (Undecylenic Acid Formula SF722 from Thorne). Huge difference, and I mean HUGE! Less than 24 hours and my inflammation all over my body shrunk massively. Woke up and looked like me again…urinated a river 2 times in 30 min upon waking. It was crazy! Planning on using Ancestral supplements kidney, organs and bone & marrow supplements as a maintenance once this gets under control. Can’t stress enough how helpful thes DAOs are. SIBO nearly had me hospitalized because I literally could not eat or drink anything, not even water because the pain would get to near kidney stone level and I would vomit. Carnivore diet helped tremendously to start and then this protocol is just pushing the healing even further.
Are things still improving for you?
@Grace 💞, this is amazing, and I’m so happy for you! Thank you for sharing your protocol with us! 💖
Similar issues and the carnivore diet has greatly helped me as well. I can only eat beef, rabbit, hard boiled eggs, Brazil nuts and blueberries. I react to everything else. It is very frustrating but at least the symptoms are few and far between now (I was practically bed bound in the past), so long as I only eat fresh meat. I am doing a multi day fast, I heard that heals the gut faster. Good luck to you!
@@saltyprepper5513
Bless your heart. I’m sorry for your struggles :( Have you tried the supplements Grace tried? Seems like it’s really important to kill any possible infection. ❤️
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist yes, I take Ancestral Supplements Kidney which has DAO in it. It helps. I also take AS pancreas and gallbladder. I can't take synthetic supplements. I react horribly to magnesium, I think I am also oxalate intolerant and it causes oxalate dumping? I take a Histamine probiotic as well. The consequences are so bad I'm afraid to try too many new supplements.
I have had histamine issues since I was ten. I have been on Benadryl all my life. Welts so on even my lips swelled I thought I would have to go to the ER Last year. Stress. Always had low blood pressure and now for a year I have high blood pressure. When I finally heard about this and did my homework I knew I found the way to a life without pain and illness everyday.
What are your vit d level?
This just started happening to me last month (June 2022), swollen lips and serious hive outbreak. Sometimes the swelling moves around my lips and face. Never had any of these things before in all my life well over 30.
Benadryl may help symptoms short term but it depletes your body’s DAO and therefore creates a worse histamine problem.
I never had a problem with histamine until I took benadryl for an extended time for sleep. Now I am super duper sensitive to tiny amounts of histamine:(
@@holly1356exactly that's what happened to me
@@holly1356have you tried Dao supplements
The primary symptom I have is severe skin itching over the entire body.
Me too. Insane itching. No hives.
@@tinakaminskadickinson3328 could you fix it?
That’s my main issue too. I found great help using DAO enzymes with my food, star anise extract- 2 droppers a day, and Oxy hive spray, 2 sprays under tongue 2x day.
@@nijoleladd7209 which brand dao enzyme?
Umbrellas DAO, and Seeking Health Histamine Block are good.
Doing a 72 hour fast (drink salt water for hydration) will actually force your body thru autophagy to eat the mast cells. For people who have MCAS doing a 72 Hr fast once a month you can go back to eating in moderation everything except what you’re genuinely allergic to. Truly a LIFE SAVER. There is only ONE research paper on this of science to prove it but the results from humans who fast and do this like myself is REAL 🎉🎉🎉🎉. More Doctors need to educate
Themselves
That is fabulous news. Not many people read the comments, You should post a video on this! I wish I could fast. I have Insulin Resistance and Insomnia from Histamine Intolerance. Oh I so wish I could fast!!! :(
Did you fast for this reason ?
@@kimberlylucas3310carnivore diet can be extremely helpful, it can even reverse diabetes,, look up Dr Berry.
That's fantastic I need to try this. I'm tired of being sick
I’m glad I found you both and all this information. I’ve been reading about the low histamine diet. I have Chronic Migraines, Allergic Rhinitis, and IBS-D. The last 4 months have off and on diarrhea. I’ve been Vegan for over 20 years now more whole food plant based. The last year HBP in the ER twice w ALL these symptoms last month. Dr’s couldn’t figure out what was going on. Diagnosis’s we’re all over the place migraines were the worst ever I felt like my head was ready to explode?!!! thought it was just me. Thank you for all of this information and sorry you went through all of this too. I would like to try the low histamine diet but I guess that’s trial and error also
i was vegetarian and ate lots of fruit and vegs. I was poisening myself. After covid it went really really bad. I cant eat a lot anymore and still with low histamine dieet i get violently ill from vegs and herbs i could take with the dieet. Oxolate and sulphur.
But i can sleep for the first time in my life no headaches not bloathed no edema lost a lot of weight and look years younger.
It is a puzzle.
Really good and wise take on this! So much of what you have said is what I sorted out over years. :) Now to help our young people...
Great video! I've noticed as well I can't eat bone broth and this explains why. Excellent reminder as well on how meditation and rest can be helpful with digestion. Thanks for all the useful information about histamine!
Dr. Ginsburg, you really have a gift at explaining this in a way that everyone can grasp and can help give you tools immediately to start making changes. I am a retired 30 year respiratory therapist and I’ve had so many experiences throughout those years that led me to checking outside the box for answers. Thank you for all this great information! New subscriber here!
I wish I would've been told these things in the ER.Thank you for making this video so cut& dry.Great video Ladies.
The best video to really explain leaky gut and histamine intolerance Thank you so much
Happy to have found your video. I have been looking for answers for years now and recently found out about this and believe this is my issue. I have genetic heart disease and had quadruple bypass surgery when I was 39 so that has made figuring this out even harder. I get chest/stomach pain when stressed or doing anything physical. My blood pressure has gone as high as 233/131 during one of these episodes. I have not had/been a high blood pressure person my whole life. I recently also had an episode of exercise induced anaphylaxis. I wasn’t exercising but just doing something that required physical exertion. It was really weird but I was able to get it to stop with Benadryl. I got a referral from my cardiologist to see an allergist so hopefully this is the right path. This is making my life extremely difficult and frustrating. Thanks for the video.
Would you be willing to share those food lists?
Very helpful. I played tennis on Monday and it wiped me out. I now understand to only do yoga until I’m healed
This is a better explanation of histamine intolerance ...
Great video very informative. Thank you.
oh my god, you are talking about my symptoms. I am suffering for 8 years going from one doctor to another and cannot find help
Людмила, у меня та же история. Что помогло мне это интервальное голодание и все что девочки сказали. Quercetin Betaine and pepsin. Конечно убрала углеводы, я про быстрые
Thank you for the thorough explanation with real life examples. This helps understand histamine intolerance.
This is excellent. Thank you.
Wow ! You girls are full of information ! I have a lot of these symptoms myself .
I know green tea is on that list, but it’s one thing (along with white tea) that has helped me. Like you said, it’s an individual thing. I had read on a NCAS blog, before I started green tea, that it’s caffeine isn’t the same type that causes histamine reactions in something like soda or chocolate. I also heard of a case where a guy got liver disease from drinking so much green tea daily (as far as I know he wasn’t having histamine problems). It’s just scary... All of this try and hit or miss is scary. Being sick all the time with no help, no real help or relief is scary.
The bigger question is…WHY ARE SO MANY OF US GETTING SICK LIKE THIS!!? What is poisoning us? !!!
corn is the culprit. It’s hidden in everything and conventional allergy testing refuses to include it you have to get MRT testing and the majority of people are corn intolerant because corn in today’s world isn’t natural like it used to be. It’s not food. It’s completely annihilating our health and it’s LITERALLY. In. Everything. The only chips I can eat are Beanitos (luckily I love them.)
Everything
Mycotoxins are on food due to storage from molds toxins not killed by heat btw such as ochratoxin a and aflatoxin attacks the kidneys and liver
Oh wow, I have the same awful blood pressure spikes, shaking, panic attacks, insomnia. Had to quit going to the gym. Was sent home from the ER with xanax. Diet is now restricted, and I started taking vitamin d, magnesium, vitamin c. Still have bp spikes when I'm super stressed or during dr appointments (white coat syndrome) but I feel like I'm 50% better. Still don't sleep well. And the week before my period is still tough.
Vitamin C: you might consider changing your VitC supplement to a food source like Camu powder. I was taking VitC supplements knowing its good for lowering overall histamine in the body but through research discovered a lot of C is from fermented corn. I stopped the supplement, and felt better by the next day. I still had histamine symptoms but they improved. I now drink Camu in water throughout the day.
Sleep: I work with my doctor, but have found that herbal supplements that affect Gaba work really well for sleep. I take Chinese Skullcap, American Skullcap, Valerian, Chamomile, and Hops in veggie cellulose capsules, and no other additives. There are others that could also help like Lemon Balm so look up a list of Gaba affecting herbs. Xanax is not a drug you want to be on for more than a few days, or in emergencies because it changes the brain.
And depending on your age you might need hormone supplementation. Get a test of your hormone levels, and they usually start with progesterone pills from a compounding pharmacy. Progesterone helps with sleep and being calm.
I have much the same. I learned that I probably have MCAS. The only thing that works for insomnia for me is medical pot. Also take Quercetin and di amine oxidase enzyme
Fantastic video ❤
AMAZING vídeo!! ❤️ I have noticed much of what was said here, specially the nuts and alcohol!! I have asthma and I noticed asthma attacks after certain foods. I also noticed that I could eat some of the foods in a small quantity but not in large quantities, as was mentioned here! Also wine..I can drink it but not too much 😁!! I also have a sight pain in my right lower flank when I consume certain foods and it gets worse if I eat too much. I also have, on ocasion those headaches and my blood pressure went up. I know when I have a headache that my blood pressure is high (usually it's low) and it is around menstruation time but I take a magnedium / potassium suplemento and it goes down. I'm allergic to cats and I have one and I noticed when I eat certain foods, I'm more allergic than when I don't!! Só, this ALL makes perfect sense!! I knew my asthma had something to do with the gut becsuse I would feel a "line"!going from the gut to the throat when I had asthma (vagus neve) and that this only happened after certain foods!! I work out and usually eat healthy during the week and I noticed that asthma wouldn't bother me só much but on the weekend (wine, etc..) it would! I don't eat Meat anymore but still eat fish and I've noticed a great change in heatlth!! Thanks 🙏 a BUNCH for this video!! Great confirmation for me!! ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
This is amazing. The digestive issues I have had for decades! Also when a flu or cold comes through the house, I am congested for weeks longer than anyone else (and usually followed by a bronchitis or sinusitis). Also bad peripheral circulation, headaches, neuropathy that goes all over my body... I’ve been better on a Paleo diet, but I see a notable digestive issue after eating tomatoes. I will have to do more research for my own individual tolerances.
Take pure powder L-GLUTAMINE at a high dose....it does wonders🙌
@Jenneson, were you able to look into histamine intolerance?
Water fasting?
Thank you for this. I have been suffering with chronic cluster headaches/migraines for 8 yrs and I always thought it was a depletion of DAO that keeps it going. I will continue to watch bc I need a lot of help in this area
I'm going through this right now .. I have all these symptoms. I hate the rapid heart at night. Low-Histamine is hard.
Awesome and timeless advice! 🎉❤

Hi .nice and good information
This is a fantastic video. Very well delivered . Thankyou for the information. X
Is there anything that you can have?
When I eat citrus, chocolate, tomato sauce, my blood pressure skyrockets. I pretty much react to every food, especially citrus. I have resistant hypertension, no pharmaceuticals works. I never had this issues before, I have leaky gut, as I tested with Cyrex 2. I just want relief.
Which Cyrus test helped to figure leaky gut
Can you recommend a good DAO supplement please?
I started with Seeking Health Histamine block . It helped but I got these red marks on my upper arm (non itchy) , so I stopped it. That’s when I realised just how much it was actually helping me. That waking up in the morning with a sinus like headache, constantly having a stuffy nose etc had reduced so much. I’m now back on Seeking health Histamine Block (it’s a porcine DAO supplement) and the red bumps on my upper arm are a small price to pay.
Explained very well
this was beyond helpful!
This is the best information about histamine. Thank you so much.
some symptoms I have are runny/stuffy nose and muscle pain (hands and legs)
Check vit d
Great video,thank you both ladies,all the symptoms fits exactly for me
I don’t think avoiding histamine foods is really a cure though
That's what i thought too. I searched what can cause high histamine blood levels. I found that diamine oxidase (DAO) is the enzyme responsible of histamine degradation. So i searched what can cause DAO deficiency, and i found DAO biosynthesis requires vitamins B6, B12, iron, copper and vitamin C.
My carnivore diet is definitely high in B6, B12, iron copper, but has always been very low on vitamin C, so i suspected this, despite no real scurvy symptoms.
i took vitamin C supplements and it reversed my condition. I do not have rash after high histamine meal like hard cheese. I'm surprised myself.

@@syc6598 yes I did too and it helps if you are histamine intolerant you are. No cure possible I believe. Would love to be proved wrong
Thank you so much for this. It gave me a greater understanding of what's going on. Been dealing with this for almost 2 years. Anyone else have tinnitus as a symptom? That one is crazy for me. It went away for a month when my gut felt markedly better after doing a week of GI Doc prescribed med for IBS. That makes sense now why that may have worked as it calms things down which maybe closes some of the leaky gut broken barriers? Anyways, tinnitus started coming back a good week or so before the digestive stuff came back. It's totally correlated. This all started while on Keto and nuts were the first thing that seemed to cause episodes when it started. Now I know why. Histamine!
thank you so much for this video!!
Got it! 👌 Thanks 🙏

excellent discussion for people with histamine problems
Wonderful talk ladies. I struggle so much with swelling in my nose and ears along with breakouts and bleeding! I feel like poo. I been working hard to heal.

I’m being treated with steroids and high doses of antihistamines, for Chronic Urticaria. I was also diagnosed years ago with leaky gut and SIBO. My question is how do I heal my gut when many of the foods used to treat gut issues are not compatible with a low histamine diet?
Fresh vegetables raw or steamed, fresh beef or chicken, season with salt only, use ghee or tallow for fat. Drink only water. I included kefir but not everyone can tolerate it. I did this for three months. Healed my gut, cured my headaches

I am a kabor and delivery nurse and relate with the Doctor. I get these sudden soaring BP's then later sfter a little ativan it calms down. I started taking Dulse Red seaweed when ut happens abd ut knocks diwn that BP within an hour and a half. Started liw Histamine diet with Quercitin daily and a little DAO later in the day. DAO makes me sleepy. I like staying up late...bad habit and hard for me to break...working on it!! As a labor and delivery nurse you get hooked on the daily high adrenaline. I take at bedtime Lemon Balm mixed with Ashwhaganda...i use Vimergy non alcoholic tincture. One dropperful of each. Lemon balm calms the central nervous system and Ashwhaganda calms and restires your adrenal glands. Both systems work tigether so we need to nourish them after the high stress days!!❤
A GIMAP for me was very helpful to find out what's going on in the gut.. I am unfortunately trying to figure out a course of action on my own as being unemployed is limiting me to natural doctors..
My holistic NP believes this is what I have. I have many of these symptoms however,tachycardia after eating is my most worrisome and annoying symptom.
tachycardia is awful! I'm so happy to have eliminated it after years of having it.
@@judymiller5154 How did you do that?
Could having a high protein diet with high amino acid histidine cause a high histamine level?
Yes, if your body is unable to offload that histamine. Avoiding leftover animal protein can be helpful as histamine increases in animal foods after they are cooked. Or you can freeze leftovers.
OMGosh! Someone sees me!
Great video, I'd like to add that fasting is a powerful antihistamine and combine that with meditation for reducing stress to promote gut healing.
What kind of fasting is ideal for this condition?
I intermittent fast also. No breakfast and a light lunch and early dinner with a snack in between. It does help.
the ideal fasting for MCAS is a BARE MINIMUM of 48 hours (No vitamins no supplements only high quality salt and water) but ideally 72 hours. This guarantees the autophagy process of the body to literally EAT the Mast cells. When you eat a trigger food after you won’t have the mast cell memory to react to that food anymore. One 48-72 hr fast will put someone in remission from MCAS for a few months, so it’s advised to do every 1-3 months. I’m doing one monthly for safety but also just all the amazing benefits. Zero allergies, no asthma, no anxiety, no indigestion, no brain fog, no depression, no mood swings, the list goes on..... ❤
Fasting is basically the most powerful healing modality there is, there's a reason it's been used for thousands of years. It takes 3-4 days to enter in to ketosis and that is where the deepest healing begins.. so 5-7+ days. And if you're trying to heal something serious it may take 20-30 days on water or 11-14 days dry fasting.
Me too. I fast for 16 hr which brings ketosis and once a week I fast 24 hrs to reach autophagia
Thanks for posting.. I’ve been on a journey of learning about histamine intolerance/mast cell activation syndrome for a few months now after an extreme spike in symptoms. You are the first athlete to talk about how the physical activity impacts the ability to heal our gut. I’m a former powerlifter/lifelong lifter & I suspected it was playing a role in this.. Thank you. It will be difficult to curb old habits of pushing myself.. but I’m willing to try. Should we always try to exercise (and also sleep)on an empty stomach? Great info 🙏🏼
Definitely go to sleep with the last meal being at least 3 hours before bed. But exercising in a fasted state depends on your goals and how much you can push yourself. If you can still get a good workout in while fasted, it definitely has its benefits.
So helpful!
so happy I found this video
Great guidelines for Histamine Intolarance thank you....
Incredible information! Thank you 😊
As for bone broth.. cooking the bones less than 4 hours keeps the histamines lower. Over 4 the Histamines start increasing.
Is there any connection between salicylate intolerance and histamine? I unfortunately have both 😢 It makes eating almost anything very difficult. What foods are salicylate and histamine free? What DAO is vegetarian? Pls have a utube on this.
you can't heal your gut if you are vegan
The Royal Prince Albert Hospital has a list of foods and chemicals with low, medium and high salicylates. You can find it online.
Also the AIP diet can help you. It eliminates anything that can irritate your immune system.
Whats the best way to heal the gut and relieve these symptoms for good?
This vedioes finally made my doubts clear .
I have histamine intolerance and I since 11 grade and I was able to figure out when I went on elimination diet
List on board restrictions and healing helps
I regularly make bone broth to support my gut; I make a big crockpot full - this lasts a week. Based on this video, I cannot eat this past a day........... I don't "feel bad after eating bone broth" (just the opposite). I guess that I could freeze the bone broth in individual containers. I'm 67 and post-menopausal, so that bit doesn't apply. I have gone gluten free but will now go dairy free as well......AND, I have heart palpitations (afib) for the past 6 months - echocardiogram shows perfectly normal heart..........I have been a runner for 47 years (had to stop after afib diagnosis - only because my heart rate went 180+). I think that my primary causation is STRESS......physical, from being an avid athlete, but also self-induced due to the regimen that I set for myself (daily list building of tasks...taking me from morning to night).........points to ponder.
Why did my doc tell me this ain’t real
Only mast cell activation syndrome
I got orthorexia because idk what the hell to eat anymore
I don’t have celiac but everyone says gluten devil
I have low blood sugar so need health complex carbs
I have hives urticaria but can’t treat because antihistamines dry u and I have sjorgens like symptoms

I need to know what to eat
I am terrified of food now and never eat
Mast cell is the same thing. I'm so sorry. Do an elimination, just eat 3 foods for a week or two and add one by one 3 days in between. Your body will tell you. You have to eat dude.
@@Oilofmercy so what should I do like what foods do I just eat and how do I tell?
Like is the reaction right away?
@@talksick508 start with things you know for sure don't bother you or plain white rice, beef/ turkey and a few safe fruits and vegetables. See how you go for few weeks. You really need help from a good holistic practioner / nutritionist. Forget doctors. They will just cause you stress
Do carnivore with occasional fleshy fruits. Stay away from citrus, hananas and kiwi though
Go lowcarb or even keto. Lots of recipes and info about these diet /lifestyles here on youtube. Avoid sugar. Its poison. Drink enough water, tea and decaf if you must. make your own broth/soup from chicken or beef and eat darkgreen leafy veggies. Lots of meat, fish, wggs. Use butter. No oil! No fruits just strawberries or black berries because those have little fruitsugar which is as bad as sugar is.
Look up the book DrAtkins wrote, The new revolution index on Google or do as i did. Buy his book in a secondhand store. It will teach you só much and will help you feel way better in time. Give it time. But it takes determination and no cheating where it comes to sugar, honey, fruits etc. Learn. I did and it really helped me in several ways.
It Will work. Sincerely, from the Netherlands. 🌷
OMG. This is it! That's why dr. of TCM basically allowed me to eat rice, and cooked grains like buckwheat, millet, legumes, eggs, that was basically it. Very neutral food. No fresh food, yogurt. I could add a little bit of cooked vegetables but later on. My digestion was really poor.
I wasn't allowed to workout.... Now I understand. She basically totally knew what was wrong with me, but their medicine language is so different.
Hi i'm wondering how that worked out for you?
May i know whom you r working did u get better
@@cillian6842 Hi! Sorry for the late response. YT didn't notify me about your comment. So my health at that time was really really bad. To the point that the TCM doctor said that it would be a success if we get me to the stable state where I will be able to live as normally as possible. I'm still visiting her. But right now we are talking about getting to the level of getting pregnant, which means that I'm much much better now, I'm almost at 100%.
This is me to a tee. I've been told it's anxiety. I finally found an allergist who believes me. The histamine restricted diet has helped. Mine started on the fourth rapid dose of allergy shots during the pandemic. I've been sick 50% of the time in the past 6 months. When I have a bad episode I go back to rice and broccoli and some chicken. I eat almost no processed food and freeze all my leftovers immediately. Thank you. I feel less crazy. Does DAO supplementation help? I take B6, Quercertin, zinc, vitamin C and a specially formulated probiotic. My throat feels "funky" too.
DAO supplementation seems to help digest the Hist in the food as consumed. So, its not enough by itself.
Did the allergy shots seem to make you feel better?
How about ground turkey and ground bison?
GAPS diet is the best for healing.
@@jeanettenejadi1777 GAPS diet? What is this?
I think in the case of Multiple Sclerosis it involves 4 different types of Histamine at the same time. H1-Allergy, H2-Gut, H3-CNS, H4-White blood cells. We can effectively treat H1 and H2. There is no effective treatment for H3 and H4 yet though.
What does CNS translate to?
@@Tomsharpe9988 Central nervous system
@@notapplicable3143 😆👍 Cheers
Thank you! Good info
Chocolate, tomatoes, nuts and other of these foods are also really high in oxalates which will also cause histamine problems. Plant toxins are a real problem.
Thank you so much for the great information. Where are you ladies located? How can I make an appointment or tele-conference ? Thanks
I’ve always put a lot of thought into what I eat and after having an extended period of stress after moving to another country my gut when haywire. I obsessed over what I was eating and it seemed like I couldn’t have anything w out a negative reaction. Later realized the importance of reducing cortisol and being mindful in my day to day activities. Once stress reduced for an extended period of time (it takes time to heal, another thing I learned lol) my digestion has improved tremendously
Same here i come back to my hometown from USA after taking 3 antibiotics, having SIBO and huge histamine intolerance that led me to non stop asthma. Here in Russia I can’t say its 50% better though. I noticed too that stress even make these brochoconstriction worse, and that I suddenly having asthma attack even when i’m not eating (in stressful situation). I’m making a lot of research on that seems that I’m literally having this.
@@LestoFremo
How is your progress going? Are you on a low histamine diet and supplements? I hope you’re better. Sending well wishes from the USA. :)
@@PeaceIsJesusChrist just got the ct of the lungs with contrast. They say I got emphysema (thought I got asthma), but still have to send this scan to pumponologist to have a look at it. Histamine issues/mcas/cognitive problems - I beat it, no longer a problem, thanks to nootropics, except I still have reflux and LPR. Still healing. My heart beat fast.
@@LestoFremo
How wonderful that you beat those things with nootropics!! 🙌🏻🎉
Sorry about your lung issues. :( Do you have a nebulizer? That can be super helpful. I nebulize a hydrogen peroxide & saline solution as well as colloidal silver.
I hope your lungs go back to normal soon! 🙏🏻
EXCELLENT
How do you heal the gut if your limited to low histamine foods?
Collagen powder is very helpful
@@precocioussceptic4967 If you can tolerate it, I cannot.
@@precocioussceptic4967 which brand?
@@precocioussceptic4967 collagen and bone broth is very high in histamines.
@@mariyamshafique9374 Organika
is there a list of foods anywhere to follow is cod ok and egg whites
Cod is fine, and egg whites are ok as long as fully cooked.
Do you have any videos about hormonal migraines and histamine?
I have ordered clean quality green peas for sprouting from a sprouting company. When sprouted they have an abundant source of DAO. A Dr uses them with her patients effectively, I saw on a video. My sprouts will be ready tomorrow!!! Quercetin and esp Nettles and Skullcap in a tincture (I make) is very helpful. Thank you for this wonderful information about the gut and staying in the parasympathetic system. Excellent information. I appreciate it.
Could you post a link to the video or source for the peas🙏?
Very helpful. Can a person be cured of HI? If so what are your suggestions?
I don't know about curing, but a lot of people with histamine intolerance have issues with bad bacteria in their intestines. Getting a low histamine probiotic like the monk one may help. You will also want to do everything you can to gradually increase good bacteria to crowd out the bad like consuming extra virgin oil every day on an empty stomach, cooked vegetables and adding variety over time. That's my best guess.
The root of the problem always comes from a place that you can’t see but can be felt….
Nice informative video ladies, I take thyroid Medication T3 i heard that thryoid meds can increase histamine reaction? Also when I eat at dinner time a bigger meal I get crazy symptoms like: Headaches, dizzy, anxiety, irritability, head pressure body movements become a bit more hard to do hand cramp on the fork heart beating a lil faster could this all be related to increased histamine in my body? And it night I like Dr Ginsberg had which is the going to sleep and waking up through out the night.
Edit I have asthma also
Voxterx it could be. The body may not be able to offload the excess. Digestion and gut health are very closely tied to this.
How are you doing know
What's your take on cassava/tapioca flour? It appears on some low histamine lists but I get confused with how long we can use it for since leftovers are not allowed. How long should I keep the flour on my fridge? Thank you so much for this video.
You both have been an blessing for me. I have mass cell reaction from hell. I know about the foods but healing the gut. Now thays an whole different story. Tried pro biotic didn't work well. Going to try L Glycine , already carnivore. My D is 10 so taking 20 iu daily and magnesium, feel better today.
I have been suffering from rush for 2 years
And going from one doctor to another and found out at the end that what I eat is a big problem
How can I heal myself of hives? Any advice will be appreciated
The low histamine diet is all that I know
What if we have both histamine and an oxalate problem? Then, what kind of diet do we implement to heal?
There are foods that are low in both oxalates and histamines
The Auto Immune Protocol diet can be helpfull. AIP diet. Look for it on the internet.
@@Amber4 - Thank You.
@@Amber4 - Thank You 🙏
Where are you guys? What kind of practitioners are you? I don't eat meat but I've had a histamine problem for a long time and have seen several practitioners, to no avail.
Look up oxalates
What do we eat if we react to almost everything.
Start with eating just soft boiled eggs and broccoli or (home made) coleslaw for a few days. Then re-introduce one low-histamine food for three days in a row to see how you react to it and make sure not to eat too many histamine releasing foods.
What of hives that havent gotten away for 2 months?
What an amazing presentation🤗👏Celiac disease has made histamine a nightmare for my son “migraines” thank you so much ladies❣️
Is Hiatel Hernia connected to this Histamine Sensitivity? I too have severe hypertension where no medication works; I notice that teas, oxalates, and citrus bothers me and keeps my blood pressure high. My MDs can’t even help me but give me more drugs.
There is a possible connection and definitely worth exploring.
Amazing information, I've been on a roller coaster whereby I was having pile like and anal fissure symptoms and went through the UK hospital process, having endoscopies, blood tests, pills, etc, the doctors found nothing and in the end, by a process of elimination, I discovered it was porrdige that I was having every morning! I replaced that with bran flakes. I know I have poor digestion, low HCL, low enzymes, maybe low bile, etc, and have tried all sorts of supplememts and herbs but can't seem to fix it 😔
Try the Lion diet. It has helped me getting normal stools and got rid of nearly all my health problems
I have cut out a lot of stuff, but the problem is I have IBS (FODMAP), acid reflux (have to avoid acid forming foods), and of course the foods that contribute to histamines. It seems like doctors are not sure what causes histamine intolerance. I'm leaning towards gut dysbiosis as I had bad food poisoning many years ago.
I'm exactly the same! It's very hard.
I had reflux and started taking the supplement HCL with Pepsin by Thorne with each meal. My reflux went away, and my stomach no longer hurts. The dosage varies with each person and there are online guidelines for figuring your dosage out. Conventional medicine believes people have too much stomach acid, but naturopathic medicine believes the opposite, not enough. I think the naturopaths got it right bc many people are on PPIs to lower acid and studies show very bad results.
