Eliminating the reasons why your body keeps producing histamine is a better, more effective long-term solution than a low histamine diet. I can help you. Check this link for info on working with me nourzibdeh.com/work-with-me
And yes, it can feel a nearly insurmountable task to keep trying. It helps me to know there are others out there who struggle, not that I'm happy for them. But at least we all have company.
Thanks for the video. I had my DAO tested and my level was 5 times lower than normal. I mentioned this to the top allergy doctor in Melbourne, and she actually asked me ‘what is DAO?’… I said diamine oxidase and she had no idea!
wow .. I have to admit I didn't learn any of the stuff I talk about in my official dietitian training. I decided to learn it on my own and dedicated time over the years the more clients I had seeking answers. I hope this video helped you put some pieces together.
I wish I had known you back when I was a child and my allergies were out of control. It's unbelievable how I've received more helpful information from your 13 minute video, than my parents and I received from so-called "top" allergists over the course of several years. Thank you!!
What i learned from this video is doctors are on the whole 5 feet tall and six feet up themselves, thanks for this i now begin the journey of curing myself
I have been taking antihistamine every day for the past few years and noticed that my histamine intolerance has just been increasing. I seem to react to everything. And now I’m glad to know why my histamine intolerance has increased so much. Unfortunately regular doctors don’t ever think along these lines. I’ve been advised by allergists to just keep using the antihistamines and nose sprays. No one has ever connected my allergies to my IBS. So thank you for your insight.
Could it be that you actually Have chronic uticaria? That causes reactions almost daily and has nothing to do with what you eat bro is it a true allergy. It’s an autoimmune disorder and it can come out of no where, but more so if you always have immune issues like IBS or thyroid issues
100% connection between histamine and gut issues. There are several things that raise histamine of course but I’m not surprised to hear that people feel worse with IBS flare up. antihistamines are NOT supposed to be used as longterm solution and it’s unfortunate how many people still don’t know that. If you need help with addressing your own histamine triggers, please use the link in the description to book a session.
@@NourZibdeh Cool. I didn't know that specifically. They say it helps with "upset stomach", and that it can help reduce inflammation. But they don't teach you that it can help reduce histamine! (Good thing I LOVE ginger!)
@@LittlePearlsStudio I get it bought like in tea bags, but mainly you want to cut out eating tomatoes or tomato products for a few days, that was the best advice I think I'd gotten, I did this and recovered after a couple days.
After 4 1/2 years of strict carnivore, drinking coffee daily, and an extremely stressful event, I now have histamine intolerance for the first time in my life. Oh-and I overdid fermented foods in an attempt to improve my gut bacteria. What a mistake. If I don’t take a Benadryl at night I don’t sleep, that’s when I’m the itchiest. It’s insane. But I will try to not take it. Thank you for explaining what antihistamines do. And people-stop drinking that poisonous drug, coffee!! It ruins your gut!! (Decaf too) UPDATE: After doing GAPS intro diet for 5 weeks my leaky gut healed and my itching improved but I still was not having good BMs. I was able to stop taking Benadryl but still had to take quercetin. Then I discovered Karen Hurd’s bean protocol and it has been a miracle. It got my bowels moving in ONE DAY and after 4 weeks of consistent, multiple daily bowel movements my histamine and itching is GONE, hallelujah thank You Jesus! I now eat fermented food with every meal and NO REACTION. Did I have gas? Yes, for one day. And really bad gas too. But it subsided, and my whole digestive system felt better than it had in years. My GERD went away. My bloat went away. My transit time for digestion went up (it was so slow before) so no more gastroparesis. I will never stop eating beans again. The protocol is 1/2 a cup 3x a day. Easy. God’s foods heal-not drugs, not supplements. Try it. What do you have to lose? PS I also don’t use the drug caffeine anymore either. 🙂
Same here. Carnivore for 18months and developed a forehead rash which I suspect is histamine. I came off carnivore and started taking loads of probiotics and eating lots of unpasteurised sauerkraut which was making my rash go wild!! I drink coffee daily on an empty stomach. The thought of Life without it is miserable. What do you have instead?
@goolash9991 This happened to me back in April I ate a bunch of fermented foods thinking it would help “heal my gut” and it made me so much worse now I rely on Zyrtec everyday or I get crazy racing heart, insomnia and all kinds of other symptoms! Have you been able to resolve this yet?
I have both genetic mutations & really struggle with gut issues. I also have issues with methylation & had NO idea they were related til you explained it so very well, thank you!!
37 years of medication , multiple symptoms to deal with , a surgery And nobody has ever mentioned histamine intolerance. If you want to feel better you have to take responsibility and do your own research. Thank you for providing such useful information 😊 Game changer
Spot on!! I've been asking my doctor for YEARS! -He hasn't a clue. But does he network with the other doctors in his group, consult the internet, or do some research? Can you say, "Hell NO!" I get symptoms around that time of the month. (I'm sure you really wanted to know that.) I've asked and asked, "Why do my "allergies" go nuts before my period? Dr. Know-Nothing: "I can't really explain it." (In other words, "I haven't got a friggin' clue!") One day, I notice "Chlorpheniramine" (an antihistamine), as one of the ingredients in my "Menstrual Relief Tablets." So, I ask my doctor, "Why do these contain chlorpheniramine?" Dr: Know Nothing, "Because as your hormones shift around "that time", a lot of women become more sensitive to histamine." * PS: Everything I know about histamine intolerance, I've learned by researching it myself. -You're so right about having to take our own responsibility.
Thank you so much. I’ve been suffering from unexplained itching all over my body for 4 years. 5 doctors later, she mention histamines. Then I found your videos and now I can cure myself. You are a life saver. I can now see light at the end of the tunnel.
I just went through 2 months of extreme stress, with my anxiety raging out of control, and am now dealing with painful , itchy eczema on the lower half of my face. I understood that stress was causing it, but this along with other informational videos and articles have lead me to believe this is a histamine intolerance issue. Thank you. I will be trying the diet to see if it offers me some relief.
You are great! I have had 4 concussions which triggered POTS. On top of that, I have had a brain tumor removed and two mini-strokes. I have a hard time understanding things sometimes. You speak so clearly and slowly. I get it.
I hope you have a speedy recovery. I don’t have a video about POTS - maintain your hydration and sodium intake and make sure you’re following your doctor instructions. POTS interacts with histamine issues and a low histamine diet can help
I also have POTS and histamine avoidance is crucial for those who do. I've been using Diamine oxidase (DAO) for a few years now and it has helped to prevent POTS attacks. It's lessened by body's histamine load from other sources (gut infection, mold exposure, etc.). The brand NATURDOA makes Legumeactive (made with legumes, not pigs...gross) from Spain. They ship to the US and for the quantity and concentration of the tablets, I feel it is a reasonably priced preventative.
Jazzakhallahkhair, You covered everything in this video,I have been dealing with allergies for so many years and my symptoms were itchy scalp and hives around my neck. Will implement everything you said. May God bless you and family.
Thank you. I learnt that after visiting dozens of ENTs , allergic specialists, inmonologist, only put me in antihistamines and nose operation, never worked, because they don't know all this, or if they know it don't care about patients. Root cause. Thanks ❤
So good to know that being on antihistamines long term can actually make things worse. This is the first time I have heard this, soooo... I need to make a change. I have been on the low histamine diet for 6+ months but still dealing with itching, and tingling in my legs, bouts of GI distress etc. I suspect I have always been a low DAO producer, but my doc does not even think to investigate these areas. He just writes me off as having chronic fatigue and offers no treatment or referral to a specialist to look into potential GI issues.
You would be a great candidate for food sensitivity testing. You may be reacting to other foods not just high histamine foods. And you need to address the underlying gut problems. This is what I do with my private clients so if you’re looking to work with someone, check the link in my bio (food sensitivity test available in US only)
Thank you so much for your wonderful video. I think I now understand why I’ve developed histamine intolerance. I’ve had chronic UTIs for years and have been in a myriad of antibiotics. The longest I’ve gone without them is 5 months. I was heartbroken when I developed another UTI a few weeks ago. I’ve been on the diet since October and it has helped but I’d love to eat some of the high histamine foods again. Seems like I’m not going to be able to overcome the histamine problem until the UTI infections end but there seems to be no solution to that. Very discouraged!!
Try D Mannose for the UTI - I went through same thing yrs ago for 2 yrs having kidney infections taking useless antibiotics which I would never normally take - that’s actually when I started to get diagnosed w fibromyalgia and low or no DAO…. Anyway the allopathic route was to take antibiotics prophylactically which I refused and researched that d mannose was more effective - bought a mountain load expecting to have to take daily but actually never had another kidney infection! First sense of something take d mannose and it’s gone - but it’s cheap and big pharma can’t make money off larch sugar! Good luck, never get disheartened - get curious - there’s solutions always -often not through trad medicine though
@@barbhymas1784 sorry to hear that.. d-mannose can help and also cranberry extract. Chronic and stubborn infections may mean you have a biofilm issue… possibly multiple organisms. Herbal antimicrobials can be superior to antibiotics. You’ll be a great candidate for Microbiome testing. Feel free to reach out (links in description)
This is about the most informative educational videos I’ve ever encountered regarding this ongoing issue. I am so thankful I inadvertently stumbled upon this video. Extremely knowledgeable and very well spoken. Other professionals that I’ve seen didn’t even come close to explaining the overall of histamine allergies. In addition, weren’t even as compassionate as this professional. Thanks for posting. Now, I feel there’s hope for all of us. God Bless!🤗💯%
You have just answered my prayers I’ve been noticing all these things triggering me and I had my suspicions but it’s 100% what has happened to me stress, exposure to mould and I’ve been overdoing green tea caffeine raw tomatoes have made me throw up, fermented food Saur Kraut, kefir, kombucha, citrus fruits and lemons and I noticed when I stopped taking allergy tablets a few days I felt better. I had such serious flare ups hives that turned into 10 abcesses on my face and have permanently scarred me and complete misdiagnosis so I’ve been taking notice of times when I don’t eat I feel so much better! I’m going to do a 72 he water fast and also have the tests done and I’ll start there! Thank you for answering my prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Mine all began after COVID vaccines and the booster shot 💉 and the DRs have all dismissed me when I have said it i was 100% healthy and fit with no skin problems and no chronic fatigue before it’s been the most difficult period of my life
Hi been on Benadryl for the past three days sometimes taking six a day. I have bumps all over my body. I am so itchy that I can’t stand going without the Benadryl. I thought I ate healthy I quit drinking alcohol a year ago I thought I was doing the right things now I’m so itchy I cannot stand it, I’ve also been drinking Kieffer. Thank you so much for this video. I am so grateful. Now I know some of the things to avoid.
Oh’my goodness, I just saw an allergist and was prescribed 3 different antihistamines. I’ve taking different antihistamines my entire adult life and have several food allergies. I wanted to get another food allergy test since the last food allergy test was 30 years ago, but she was against the testing. I expressed my concerns for add more medication to my daily routine and possible tolerance to the medicines, but only negative feedback. The craziest part of this is, I’ve taken all of the newly proscribed medications and they don’t work for me. I am so grateful to find your channel! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.😊
I have only seen 2 allergy doctors & felt both just like to write prescriptions & see you often. Im a big believer in the power of food so its some trial & error to see what agrees with you & what doesn't. 1 thing not many "experts" explain is that 1 food maybe good for many but not everyone, my body doesn't like Turmeric which is always high on the good stuff list...just not for me.
@@GlenRanski you may have a good sensitivity to turmeric and other foods. People are often surprised to see what they’re sensitive to. And good sensitivity is different from good allergy. Let me know if you want more videos to explain this. Thankfully, sensitivities are not longterm and people overcome them
Glad to hear this was helpful! Diet and supplements can help a lot, especially when medications didn’t help. Many of the people I work with say they no longer have seasonal allergies (or have minimal symptoms) after working on their gut issues. Histamine problems can stem from the gut and the gut shouldn’t be overlooked…
You now the choice of DAO supplements. Pig or sprouts. Found that my food lifestyle was very high in histamine. Liberators, leftovers, fermented foods. Rule for leftovers; one day - that’s it. Kind of sucks, but totally worth it. Careful of buying food that sits in the fridge for weeks before eating. Buy for the next 2/3 days. Healthier to do this versus getting histamine overdose from aged foods. Also , think about how much perishable food you have to throw out on a monthly basis. Though you might be at the grocery store more, you’re going to save a lot of money on food shopping for 2/3 days only.
Yes I recently found the vegetarian DAO… have you tried it? You can freeze leftovers. Freezing stops histamine from building up in the food and reduces food waste.
@@NourZibdeh I am trying that. With a strong elimination diet and Naturdao I am having good results after only 1 week. No more daily diarrhea and I feel a little bit better. But since I am vegetarian and never tried the other one, I can not compare.
Yes, well explained. My mcas was caused by stress. Over the years it got worse and worse. I never took the connection between the brain and the gut seriously, but stress and sleep deficit is the worst for me.
My "aha" moment was when you said black and green tea can block dao! My son has postnasal drip and he loves ice tea. I assumed this was better for him than drinking soda!!!
I've had mast fell activation disorder for the past year and a half and it can ge truly debilitating. I had to eliminate all sorts of food and for a few months I even had to order un-aged meat from the US (I'm in Canada). Took huge amounts of DAO supplements, etc., and have been on 20 mg anti-histamines all along. The thing that's helped me the most is intravenous Vitamin C. I still get IV infusions every 6 weeks (down from every 2 weeks) and will continue to do so fir as long as it takes.
I am SO grateful for you and this video! I have developed serious intestinal issues and food intolerance for the last year far wise than my regular allergies. My family is riddled with allergies. I suspect the genetic variation that you mentioned who do not produce the DAO as needed. I was convinced I am allergic to corn and wheat. I went to an allergist, for testing who seemed to know none of what you talked about. First stop should've been the dietician I guess. Thank you so much! Now i have a plan of action and will seek out the proper provider.
Thank you for mentioning that antihistamines don't get rid of histamine in the body. My doctor told me to take three antihistamines a day and it wasn't helping at all.
They may help short term but they don’t suppress the production of histamine. Hopefully this video helped you determine what to investigate.. best wishes
I have had chronic anxiety for 9 years. I found out 1 year ago I had gut dysbios. I've been fixing that with my naturopath. The anxiety hasn't gotten much better. Do you think histamine could be a primary reason for anxiety?
I've been struggling for YEARS as well. I kept trying to tell my old doctor that something was wrong. Since he didn't know what it was, he tried to re-route the conversation. Well, that was leading nowhere, obviously. Just met with a new doctor, a Naturopath, this past Friday and I LOVE her.
I have MTHFR genetic variant, and thats where I struggle with methylation and histamine intolerance. Really increasing supplementation of methylated B complex helped tremendously.
Easy with all of this if you have sulfation issues. Address that first.. Or you are making everything worse, as it happened to me.. Every supplement mentioned is made of sulfur. Gotta clear the sulfur pathway first, and THEN helping yourself with those supplements.. Aside from that, very good info. Thank you!
I was put on sodium cromoglicate, ketotifen, and H1 and H2 anti-histamines. I found taking DAO was better than the antihistamines when taken with Quercetin, vit C plus Zinc, and b vitamins and magnesium. I do take ketotifen at night as it stops the racing thoughts, and headaches. Half a tablet means I sleep a bit better. I now use very moderate amounts of fermented food every other day, or so. Your approach is thorough. Oh, and watch those FODMAPS and processed foods. The fresher the food, the better. In its natural form. Get lots of fibre too, and I use electrolytes. It’s a daily balancing act.
I’m glad your found some relief! Keep in mind that if you have to avoid FODMAPs longterm, then there’s an underlying gut problem that isn’t fully solved ❤️
consider looking into Ashwagandha at night coupled with Melatonin, you will sleep real good and your head will not race. When your head is racing in the afternoon, take one Ashwa and then take 2 before bed. good luck
Thank you for all the information. I believe I am coming close to fixing my allergy issues. I was b12 and zinc deficient and eating alot of high histamine food that I didn’t know about. Taking antihistamines. I’m fixing my zinc and b12 and stopped antihistamines. My allergies are already better but not gone. I’ll be working on a low histamine diet now and keeping triggers like dog and dust down. Thank you so much!!!!!! I’ll be getting my DAO tested also
O my gosh yes I dealt with that as a Child and even as an adult when i do cry. I have serious swelling of my eyes, lips, and the redness takes hours to go away.
I wondered if I was histamine intolerant years ago and focused on reducing proteins that were aged, fermented foods, and being careful of when I ate histamine releasing foods. I believe I have had SIBO for a long time. The western medical system won't test me for SIBO but gave me drugs for it when they didn't know for sure if I had it. I fired the Gastroenterologist for continuously gate keeping the functional testing I needed. I did my own research and although meat has the potential for having lots of histamines I have had no real histamine issues since going off plants and carbs. I believe that I have begun to heal the SIBO among other things since 4 months on the Carnivore diet. I will do this elimination diet for at least 6 months to get rid of SIBO, lose excess weight, and get rid of the painful oxalates in my joints. Then I will try to add back low histamine/low oxalate foods to see if they bring symptoms back. I will stay away from grains and sugars for good. My body cannot handle those at all.
Best wishes… try to get some low histamine and easy to digest fruit and veggies slowly… the gut still needs antioxidants, polyphenols and gently tolerated prebiotics ❤️
I've had histamine intolerance for years. I learned more about it in this 12 min video than I have with anything else! I've already tried a number of things you mentioned, but my big AH-HA is that the steroid inhaler I use for asthma is blocking DAO. I recently discovered it is causing ALL my health issues,. I learned that it causes dysbiosis, which is related to histamine intolerance, but I didn't know it was also blocking DAO. I will now work towards getting off that medication. Doctors do not look for the root causes. We need people like you. Thank you!
No, they don't. Most modern doctors are only taught to treat the symptom. Throw a pill at it. Heckers, throw a whole bottle of pills at it. Doesn't fix it. Seriously; go into a doctor's office. Mention a disease. Any disease/chronic condition. They probably can name at least 3 pills for it, but NOT an actual remedy!
P.S. Do you use non-stick cook ware? -I used to. And I was diagnosed with "Asthma" and put on a daily inhaler. A friend of mine loves birds, and has quite a few. But she can't have non-stick cook ware, as the off-gassing kills the canaries. Then I got to thinking: If a little tiny canary's lungs fail due to this, what is it doing to MY lungs? I've been off the non-stick cookware, and the inhaler for more than 10 years now. And no more raspy voice. Very very seldom an asthma attack. And back when I used the regular inhaler, I could only get to 325 on the spirometer. Now I do better than 750 regularly!
100% environmental toxicity will stimulate mast cells which release lots of histamine and other immune mediators, leading to all of these symptoms. I'm finding mold toxicity to be common with my patients with histamine and mast cell activation issues, and asthma can be triggered by mold.
Persistent use of antihistamines suppresses the guts' production of hydrochloric acid, which is the last thing you want for gut health. Food not well broken down leads to dismotility, inflammation, and possible leaky gut syndrome. Then, when you stop taking the antihistamines, the gut ramps up the hydrochloric acid again which generally leads to overproduction and dyspepsia, i.e; heartburn.
@@sagartripti I'm sure NonyaSmith and others here could teach me several things, but I've been using a small amount of liquid diphenhydramine (less than a pediatric dose) to temporarily increase control of chest and respiratory symptoms, and for topical reduction of throat symptoms, sometimes a few times a day. Thankfully I have "good days" when I don't use any at all. I sure didn't get there overnight, for better or worse. I often balance this with some challenges of my ability to tolerate histamine liberating compounds such as (extremely low dose, e.g. {unsweetened} USA tonic water) quinine. It doesn't hit me as hard as a large (e.g. pure-ish) chocolate bar or large can of beans -- canned beans are rough with me, sprouted are much much more tolerable. (I'm searching for comments I've left today because I'm trying to reply to a notification I clicked away from in a drop-down menu, and there are so many new comments now!) Expert advice should be more available and accessible. I think patient support communities are essential, in part because the studies we eventually hear about often study US! ... so I should mention that YRMV, and good luck. I've also heard that antihistamines, certainly including benadryl (which is in my words "thorough," in that it "crosses the blood-brain barrier," as I've heard it explained), can block HMNT, which is of course the intracellular counterpart of diamine oxidase, our histamine enzymes (AFAIK, and my education on these topics is notably informal, but this may have been covered in the video we're commenting on). And of course, blocking HMNT is not ideal for resolving HIT symptoms.
I have been having these issues for 6 years already and my doctors always give me more and more medication . Now I started to do my own research and realising that none of my doctors or specialist ever did a test on food allergy or sensitivity nor looking at my guts 😱. I feel a bit angry in a way because they all chose to give me more medication that are barely helping anymore instead of starting at the base and do more research first 😢. I will try and find the right dietician and doctor and hopefully they will help to find the root of the problem instead of pumping me full of meds that don't work anymore except in high doses . Thank you for your explanation it really opened a new door for me ❤
Thanks for the H2 blocker insights! Allergist suggested limiting allergic foods to very small amounts, not consumed all at the same time & don't overfill your daily bucket.....my bucket is small.
I hope this video helps. There's room for H2 blockers to relieve histamine overload but it's important to have a plan for addressing root causes.. best wishes!
Fantastic information and presentation! Subscribed! Only thing I would add is how important getting sunlight is. Especially if you live in the northern climate.
Thank you for such a clear and simple to understand video. For me, it comes and goes and besides some environmental triggers, I believe it is or has been very stressful situations. Life is more peaceful now and thus, I expect to have this situation improve greatly.
I recently asked my allergy/asthma doctor why I've been on 2 rounds of allergy shots and on so much medication and still struggling. I showed her pictures of swollen eyes and rashes I get. I've done all the things I'm 12:42 supposed to do to make my home as allergy free as possible but until I take a zyrtec every morning I'm a mess. She tested for histamines and they were very high. She wanted to do a patch test but she's over an hour away from me and I have to go there 3 times in a week. Since retirement this year I'm not around mold that was a biggie for me and I'm doing better. A few months ago I was having a loud beating in my left ear. I had complained that my nose on the left side always felt like there was something stuffed in there and that in the morning I'd notice there was something that looked like something very swollen. The pounding was getting worse so I went to another doctor who put me on 2 different nose sprays and the pounding went away within 2 days. Also found that with stomach problems all my life the solution was to stop using mint toothpaste. I use cinnamon toothpaste and no more stomach issues after 30 some years.
Thank for explaining. My result for DOA is 9.6 um/l, this is all new to me but its ticking so many boxed regarding my health over last 10 yrs, working out what to do next so I will be working my way through your videos. ❤
Sleep what is that ? 35 years EMS worker . Im 70 and one of those people who is allergic to many things and have been battling histamine since I was born. All ENT's want to do is treat Me with steroids and antihistamines both a dead end street. I enjoyed Your video and will try to follow Your advice.
Beautifully explained. Thank you Nour. I have horrible seasonal pollen allergies and have had it since I remember. So does my mother. Might be genetic but the info you’ve shared helps me understand why I struggle every morning during the allergy season. Our docs prescribe anti allergy meds and like to put us on them forever but I think it’s important to tackle the root cause and reduce dependency like you said.
Thank you for this video and your foods list video! How long should we follow a low histamine diet before we reintroduce some histamine foods every now and then?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Mosquito bites trigger my histamine. The 'aha' moment, there were a couple, I never knew about mold. My apartment does not get any sunlight, the bathroom has mold on the ceiling, the kitchen has mold in the top and bottom cupboards and also on a part of the kitchen ceiling. The bedroom wooden furniture, board surfaces and cardboard boxes have mold on them. How to get rid of all these molds? I also didn"t know about the candida and parasites and virus enablers. Never heard of DAO. I did not know about the anti-histamines not being such a great idea. I"ve been taking the pills for the itchy bites which take months to heal and then leave black marks on my skin. Didn"t know the connection between the itching and hives and headaches. Didn't know diet could help to control histamine. Thank you so much again.😊
Can you have your apartment manager clean up the mold. It’s definitely a health hazard. Try Tilex Bleach Mold Remover for the bathroom. Works quickly. Open windows and don’t spray a lot and wear a mask and gloves.
@@MomHarper927 Caribbean landlords dont care about these things unfortunately . Someone told me to burn a sulphur candle in the apartment ( for air-borne mold and mold that has settled onto furniture and clothing). I did so twice and it really helped. Thanks for the tip about the Tilex Bleach Mold Remover for the bathroom. That will help me get to spots i couldnt reach in the bathroom. Previously, i was just using diluted bleach on a sponge. I only have 2 windows in the entire apartment😆
Demand that the owner clean up the Mold which you should not be living in and most definitely getting a Dehumidifier to prevent that from happening ever again or move. Mold is a health hazard.
One of the most comprehensive video on histamine intolerance! Thank you! Question: is being allergic to ragweed a histamine issue? What could be the underlying cause for it?
Thank you for your comment. Yes, environmental allergies (including ragweed) will cause a spike in histamine production. You can try to lower your exposure. You could talk to your allergist about treatment options. A low histamine diet and looking for other root causes will lower your histamine bucket and can help too
Thank you! I believe I have this condition! I have been so scared because my allergies have become quite severe. I am taking anti-histamines daily and life is almost unbearable. I have started eating more slowly now because I used to wolf my food down. I believe I have a build-up of histamine in my system. I am going to try the anti-inflammatory diet, avoiding the trigger foods and hopefully try the DAO enzyme to see if I can get some relief. Thank you for this wonderful information.
I'm glad to hear it was helpful. Making some diet changes on your own is always a good idea when starting out. Try the diet + DAO for 1 month and if you still got symptoms or have to stay on a super strick diet, something is up. If you'd like my help uncovering the root causes, please book an appointment using this link (nourzibdeh.com/getstarted/) I've helped people in the past reduce / wean off anti-histamines
I always turn to social media for medical advice. The constant is thoroughly researched scrutinized investigated and accepted, much like the Joe Rogan podcast.
@@behnamkhaki4986 injured are thousands in italy, then there are the deads (turbo cancer, strokes, hearth attack, aneurysm etc) ... I was a gym maniac, now life ruined... Tendons and joints issues, gut and stomach issues (gerd, gastrytis, disbiosis), nervous and immune system ruined... Damn me the day i trusted doctors... No diagnosis or help from them. They are paid only to hide and lie about injuries and deads..
In the uk, 🇬🇧 go,private with this. No gp can help you. …. Had “something” since a very early age. But became aware of it age 7. Then my parents divorced, I didn’t take that well. Things gradually worsened relatively over the years with several flares along the way plus glandular fever late teens. No Dr could help except one who mentioned histamine in diet. After eliminating dairy and gluten as best I could I saw an improvement by my late 30s. But still couldn’t get to the bottom of it (lol) then in my 50’s a new Dr said I had fibromyalgia. An utterly useless diagnosis but she was the nearest to my symptoms and it did point me in one of several directions. One of which is histamine intolerance and only now, do I have a very qualified chiropractor ( one of many) and a dietician who are working together to help me with HI. If it wasn’t for my Chiropractor I think I’d be in a wheel chair more often than not. She’s well trained and has to understand the whole body system not just how to manipulate my spine back into the right position. Understanding why my spine sticks in the wrong place is part of the treatment, and we are treating HI. If you see my blood slides and the clumping of blood cells in different sizes it becomes clear why too. Lack of oxygen transference from sick blood cells can’t help. B12 deficiency evident in large blood cells. Stress clumping
Been taking bilastine for 15-20 years everyday with itching, asthma, nasal polyps. I didnt know that antihistaminics are to be taken for a short period of time...nor my doctors!! Thanks for this video
Thank you for a very clear and concise presentation. Do you know if dietary antioxidants effect histamine levels? I suck liposomal glutathione (200mg daily). It increases morning sleep and empties the “histamine bucket” at the start of the day. It’s great for dreams too!
Low antioxidant levels can affect your immune system’s response to triggers and worsen histamine intolerance Taking liposomal glutathione can help, in addition to eating a diet rich in antioxidants. And it’s important to detect if there are sources of infection or inflammation that are causing the increased oxidative damage
Hi Nour Zibdeh: Thank you for this video. I am contacting you on behalf of my wife (73 year old Filipina) otherwise in good health except for recently-acquired Histamine Intolerance. Her diet for life has basically been vegetables, rice, with occasional shrimp or pork (common in the Philippines). When we eat out, sometimes we get spicy Indian food, which we love. We vacation regularly in Hawaii, and recently in Mexico to get some more sunshine. We live in Vancouver BC Canada and are thus starved of sunshine. We take supplements like Vitamin C, D, E, A, B-Complex and other good supplements like zinc, turmeric, kelp, etc. Occasionally during the spring-time, she may get 1 week of hay fever from the pollen in the air, which goes away quickly with diphenhydramine hydrochloride tablets for a few days. With our most recent vacation to Mexico, something must have happened, but we have not been able to figure it out. The all-inclusive resort had good food and clean water, from which we had no immediate symptoms. However, 5 days after being back in Vancouver in early August 2023, we sat in the sunshine for 15 minutes on the outside deck. After going inside and a couple of minutes later, she broke out in Hives that apparently were triggered by the sunshine. I was not affected. She has nice brown skin and has lived half of her life in the Philippines and half in Vancouver. We did further tests and determined that UVB would always trigger the same histamine response and hives. We have cut out different foods searching for the root cause, and cannot find a correlation between any particular food and the histamine-related hives. She is now taking histDAO supplements but they have not fixed the problem. I am thinking that she may have acquired some gut bacteria from the pork in Mexico, which is a good reason to avoid pork as I do. We want to fix this and get back to the way she was before our Mexico vacation. The other possibility is some reaction from the Mesenchymal Stem Cell treatment that she received from a clinic in Mexico, but this was her second treatment for her knee joints. Her first Stem Cell treatment from the same clinic was one year ago, and there were no problems at all. I don't think that her problem is diet related, except that something we did in Mexico has created this histamine intolerance, like a gut bacteria. I am an Engineer, so I am driven to find and fix the root cause directly and not simply cover up the condition. Do you think you can help and if so, how do we proceed? Please contact me at GarryAnderson@shaw.ca so we can work together. Thank you.
It actually sounds like a delayed hypersensitivity response to the stem cell treatment with photosensitivity. Allergic responses take time to develop which is why she didn’t have a reaction the first time.
@@rrcmjp22 Hi Marlena: Thank you for your suggestion. At the moment, I am thinking it might be parasites in the gut, from eating pork in Mexico. We are trying Ivermectin for a few weeks to see if that has any effect. If that does not work, then I will pursue your suggestion.
Hi ... sorry to hear that. I think it's difficult to guess what it is without proper testing. The immune system may have gone haywire due to parasite or other microbes (virus, bacteria, etc), or exposure to environmental toxins. The sun and heat can trigger histamine. Gut microbiome imbalances interfere with histamine clearance. Often, you have to address multiple things at the same time to truly notice an improvement. If you'd like further assistance, you can book an assessment and strategy session here: nourzibdeh.com/getstarted/
The body is extremely complex and there is an intricate balance which is maintained by your body. When you take one supplement, it causes depletion of a different one and side effects follow. You should not take any supplements and eat the actual food which is rich in those nutrients. Alternatively you can take beef liver/organ pills if you can't eat the actual organs. But don't take supplements. I am talking from experience. You will end up with nasty side effects which won't show up right away. It will take months or years to affect your health negatively. For tens of thousands of years humans took no supplements or isolated vitamins. They ate the actual food which contained those vitamins. The supplement industry wants you to believe that you can take a short cut and just take a few vitamins with no long term side effects. Their goal is to make money. They don't care about your health. Another thing that will help you recover quickly is intermittent fasting which has been done for thousands of years by various cultures. It is extremely beneficial for your health. It can clear up many health issues with zero cost.
@@TheManGrant yall should try prolonged fasting. Look up autophagy, its bad ass. I accidentally stumbled on it because I did a prolonged dry fast for spiritual renewal, lost a lot of muscle the first 2 times I did a 3 day dry fast, but by the 3rd and 4th time, sth UNUSUAL was going on in my body. Lets just say my body hit a new rock bottom and began to heal itself. I have typed lengthy pages explaining this to people but I'll advise you to look it up. Now I fast for prolonged periods- no food, no water, no shower, no brush and no contact with water. Usually for me after the 3rd day, everything seems broken off and broken down, I did 4 days once, hard dry fast, by the end of day 4 everything in my mouth felt dead. When I brushed, I believe I saw stuff like plaques coming off, my oral health has never been so good. Belly pouch gone, muscles more resilient, a little weight lifting gives me results of someone whos been in the gym for months, I lose fat but retain muscles, hormones balanced themselves out, hair growing suddenly, I can go on and on. The reset I got from the last 2 prolonged fasts have made me want to eat better. Autophagy is a real reset. Also as someone else mentioned, please for your own sake THROW OUT THE SUPPLEMENTS. Before you actually find a really good one, chances are you've suffocated yourself with more poison. Its just a revolving door and problems are released much later to create confusion and make you blame the wrong things. The industries behind these things dont give a rats ass about your health. Look into fasting first, chances are that reset will clear out an unbelievable percentage of that sudden reaction. Also if you're Christian, don't forget to call Jesus to help you. You don't lose nothing by praying, worst case scenario, He doesn't answer. And it takes nothing from you. But if He answers, ohhh booyyy, you're about to get brand new organs. ❤❤

MS functional nutritionist here and just want to say, this was an awesome video on Histamine Intolerance. You covered it all and explained it well!
Thank you 😀
See my comment please…I’m seriously wondering why I actually crave these foods and why they are my WHOLE diet
For those of you reading this, it's okay, it's normal to feel lonely sometimes, if you're going through a tough time, keep trying, but never give up,
Copypasta cringe
And yes, it can feel a nearly insurmountable task to keep trying. It helps me to know there are others out there who struggle, not that I'm happy for them. But at least we all have company.
Thanks for the video. I had my DAO tested and my level was 5 times lower than normal. I mentioned this to the top allergy doctor in Melbourne, and she actually asked me ‘what is DAO?’… I said diamine oxidase and she had no idea!
That's so depressing
Wowwww
medical doctors LOL
“Medical doctors” what a joke.
wow .. I have to admit I didn't learn any of the stuff I talk about in my official dietitian training. I decided to learn it on my own and dedicated time over the years the more clients I had seeking answers. I hope this video helped you put some pieces together.
I wish I had known you back when I was a child and my allergies were out of control. It's unbelievable how I've received more helpful information from your 13 minute video, than my parents and I received from so-called "top" allergists over the course of several years. Thank you!!
I agree!! More info here than years of doctor’s appointments!
Glad to hear this was helpful and it saddens me at the same time when people suffer for so long without getting help 💔
Wow! I'm so happy I found your page. You are describing me and my struggles for years with hives of unknown origin. Thank you!
Jazakallahum khairan for all you share ,it's a great great help
What i learned from this video is doctors are on the whole 5 feet tall and six feet up themselves, thanks for this i now begin the journey of curing myself
Best wishes 🙏🏻
I have been taking antihistamine every day for the past few years and noticed that my histamine intolerance has just been increasing. I seem to react to everything. And now I’m glad to know why my histamine intolerance has increased so much. Unfortunately regular doctors don’t ever think along these lines. I’ve been advised by allergists to just keep using the antihistamines and nose sprays. No one has ever connected my allergies to my IBS. So thank you for your insight.
Could it be that you actually Have chronic uticaria? That causes reactions almost daily and has nothing to do with what you eat bro is it a true allergy.
It’s an autoimmune disorder and it can come out of no where, but more so if you always have immune issues like IBS or thyroid issues
@@dynogamergurl i Have urticaria i dont know why
My allergies gets and got worse with ibs as well
100% connection between histamine and gut issues. There are several things that raise histamine of course but I’m not surprised to hear that people feel worse with IBS flare up. antihistamines are NOT supposed to be used as longterm solution and it’s unfortunate how many people still don’t know that. If you need help with addressing your own histamine triggers, please use the link in the description to book a session.
Covid does this also.
Were you sick?
let go of eating tomatoes for a while, and take up drinking ginger tea, worked for me.
ginger is good for reducing histamine! Glad things are going well!
@@NourZibdeh If Someone have Ginger Allergy
@@NourZibdeh Cool. I didn't know that specifically. They say it helps with "upset stomach", and that it can help reduce inflammation. But they don't teach you that it can help reduce histamine! (Good thing I LOVE ginger!)
How much/often are you drinking ginger tea? Also, are you buying it or making it from ginger root?
@@LittlePearlsStudio I get it bought like in tea bags, but mainly you want to cut out eating tomatoes or tomato products for a few days, that was the best advice I think I'd gotten, I did this and recovered after a couple days.
After 4 1/2 years of strict carnivore, drinking coffee daily, and an extremely stressful event, I now have histamine intolerance for the first time in my life. Oh-and I overdid fermented foods in an attempt to improve my gut bacteria. What a mistake. If I don’t take a Benadryl at night I don’t sleep, that’s when I’m the itchiest. It’s insane. But I will try to not take it. Thank you for explaining what antihistamines do. And people-stop drinking that poisonous drug, coffee!! It ruins your gut!! (Decaf too)
UPDATE: After doing GAPS intro diet for 5 weeks my leaky gut healed and my itching improved but I still was not having good BMs. I was able to stop taking Benadryl but still had to take quercetin. Then I discovered Karen Hurd’s bean protocol and it has been a miracle. It got my bowels moving in ONE DAY and after 4 weeks of consistent, multiple daily bowel movements my histamine and itching is GONE, hallelujah thank You Jesus! I now eat fermented food with every meal and NO REACTION. Did I have gas? Yes, for one day. And really bad gas too. But it subsided, and my whole digestive system felt better than it had in years. My GERD went away. My bloat went away. My transit time for digestion went up (it was so slow before) so no more gastroparesis. I will never stop eating beans again. The protocol is 1/2 a cup 3x a day. Easy. God’s foods heal-not drugs, not supplements. Try it. What do you have to lose? PS I also don’t use the drug caffeine anymore either. 🙂
Same here. Carnivore for 18months and developed a forehead rash which I suspect is histamine. I came off carnivore and started taking loads of probiotics and eating lots of unpasteurised sauerkraut which was making my rash go wild!!
I drink coffee daily on an empty stomach. The thought of Life without it is miserable. What do you have instead?
Interesting, my itching is at night too 😮
Ray Peat
@goolash9991 This happened to me back in April I ate a bunch of fermented foods thinking it would help “heal my gut” and it made me so much worse now I rely on Zyrtec everyday or I get crazy racing heart, insomnia and all kinds of other symptoms! Have you been able to resolve this yet?
@@sharonashley1008 look into Ray Peat to heal

And nobody has ever mentioned histamine intolerance.
If you want to feel better you have to take responsibility and do your own research.
Thank you for providing such useful information 😊
Game changer
Spot on!! I've been asking my doctor for YEARS! -He hasn't a clue. But does he network with the other doctors in his group, consult the internet, or do some research? Can you say, "Hell NO!"
I get symptoms around that time of the month. (I'm sure you really wanted to know that.) I've asked and asked, "Why do my "allergies" go nuts before my period? Dr. Know-Nothing: "I can't really explain it." (In other words, "I haven't got a friggin' clue!") One day, I notice "Chlorpheniramine" (an antihistamine), as one of the ingredients in my "Menstrual Relief Tablets." So, I ask my doctor, "Why do these contain chlorpheniramine?" Dr: Know Nothing, "Because as your hormones shift around "that time", a lot of women become more sensitive to histamine."
* PS: Everything I know about histamine intolerance, I've learned by researching it myself. -You're so right about having to take our own responsibility.
Glad to hear this was helpful but it's also sad and frustrating that it takes that long to find answers. best wishes for your health

I just went through 2 months of extreme stress, with my anxiety raging out of control, and am now dealing with painful , itchy eczema on the lower half of my face. I understood that stress was causing it, but this along with other informational videos and articles have lead me to believe this is a histamine intolerance issue. Thank you. I will be trying the diet to see if it offers me some relief.
I found carbs cause flare -ups for me.
Did it work for you?
You are great! I have had 4 concussions which triggered POTS. On top of that, I have had a brain tumor removed and two mini-strokes. I have a hard time understanding things sometimes. You speak so clearly and slowly. I get it.
May you recover well ❤
Alkaline Your PH‼️🙏
I hope you have a speedy recovery. I don’t have a video about POTS - maintain your hydration and sodium intake and make sure you’re following your doctor instructions. POTS interacts with histamine issues and a low histamine diet can help
I also have POTS and histamine avoidance is crucial for those who do. I've been using Diamine oxidase (DAO) for a few years now and it has helped to prevent POTS attacks. It's lessened by body's histamine load from other sources (gut infection, mold exposure, etc.).
The brand NATURDOA makes Legumeactive (made with legumes, not pigs...gross) from Spain. They ship to the US and for the quantity and concentration of the tablets, I feel it is a reasonably priced preventative.
Jazzakhallahkhair,
You covered everything in this video,I have been dealing with allergies for so many years and my symptoms were itchy scalp and hives around my neck.
Will implement everything you said.
May God bless you and family.
Glad to hear that and thank you for your sweet words 💚

Thank you. I learnt that after visiting dozens of ENTs , allergic specialists, inmonologist, only put me in antihistamines and nose operation, never worked, because they don't know all this, or if they know it don't care about patients. Root cause. Thanks ❤

So good to know that being on antihistamines long term can actually make things worse. This is the first time I have heard this, soooo... I need to make a change. I have been on the low histamine diet for 6+ months but still dealing with itching, and tingling in my legs, bouts of GI distress etc. I suspect I have always been a low DAO producer, but my doc does not even think to investigate these areas. He just writes me off as having chronic fatigue and offers no treatment or referral to a specialist to look into potential GI issues.
You would be a great candidate for food sensitivity testing. You may be reacting to other foods not just high histamine foods. And you need to address the underlying gut problems. This is what I do with my private clients so if you’re looking to work with someone, check the link in my bio (food sensitivity test available in US only)
One of the best i have heard yet on histamine, TY
Thank you for sharing.. glad this was helpful!
Thank you so much for your wonderful video. I think I now understand why I’ve developed histamine intolerance. I’ve had chronic UTIs for years and have been in a myriad of antibiotics. The longest I’ve gone without them is 5 months. I was heartbroken when I developed another UTI a few weeks ago. I’ve been on the diet since October and it has helped but I’d love to eat some of the high histamine foods again. Seems like I’m not going to be able to overcome the histamine problem until the UTI infections end but there seems to be no solution to that. Very discouraged!!
Try D Mannose for the UTI - I went through same thing yrs ago for 2 yrs having kidney infections taking useless antibiotics which I would never normally take - that’s actually when I started to get diagnosed w fibromyalgia and low or no DAO…. Anyway the allopathic route was to take antibiotics prophylactically which I refused and researched that d mannose was more effective - bought a mountain load expecting to have to take daily but actually never had another kidney infection! First sense of something take d mannose and it’s gone - but it’s cheap and big pharma can’t make money off larch sugar! Good luck, never get disheartened - get curious - there’s solutions always -often not through trad medicine though
@@barbhymas1784replied to you above forgot to tag!
@@barbhymas1784 sorry to hear that.. d-mannose can help and also cranberry extract. Chronic and stubborn infections may mean you have a biofilm issue… possibly multiple organisms.

Brilliantly explained, thank you!
Glad this was helpful!
This is about the most informative educational videos I’ve ever encountered regarding this ongoing issue. I am so thankful I inadvertently stumbled upon this video. Extremely knowledgeable and very well spoken. Other professionals that I’ve seen didn’t even come close to explaining the overall of histamine allergies. In addition, weren’t even as compassionate as this professional. Thanks for posting. Now, I feel there’s hope for all of us. God Bless!🤗💯%
You have just answered my prayers I’ve been noticing all these things triggering me and I had my suspicions but it’s 100% what has happened to me stress, exposure to mould and I’ve been overdoing green tea caffeine raw tomatoes have made me throw up, fermented food Saur Kraut, kefir, kombucha, citrus fruits and lemons and I noticed when I stopped taking allergy tablets a few days I felt better. I had such serious flare ups hives that turned into 10 abcesses on my face and have permanently scarred me and complete misdiagnosis so I’ve been taking notice of times when I don’t eat I feel so much better! I’m going to do a 72 he water fast and also have the tests done and I’ll start there! Thank you for answering my prayers 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Kefir very high in histamine
Many healthy foods are high in histamine. Look for my video on what to eat on a low histamine diet for guidance
I am on supplements. Urticaria is no joke. I get bouts of depression when I start to iych and swell.
Oh’my goodness, I just saw an allergist and was prescribed 3 different antihistamines. I’ve taking different antihistamines my entire adult life and have several food allergies. I wanted to get another food allergy test since the last food allergy test was 30 years ago, but she was against the testing. I expressed my concerns for add more medication to my daily routine and possible tolerance to the medicines, but only negative feedback. The craziest part of this is, I’ve taken all of the newly proscribed medications and they don’t work for me. I am so grateful to find your channel! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge.😊
Fire you doctor.
I have only seen 2 allergy doctors & felt both just like to write prescriptions & see you often. Im a big believer in the power of food so its some trial & error to see what agrees with you & what doesn't. 1 thing not many "experts" explain is that 1 food maybe good for many but not everyone, my body doesn't like Turmeric which is always high on the good stuff list...just not for me.
No prescription drugs or without side effects 👎
@@GlenRanski you may have a good sensitivity to turmeric and other foods. People are often surprised to see what they’re sensitive to. And good sensitivity is different from good allergy. Let me know if you want more videos to explain this. Thankfully, sensitivities are not longterm and people overcome them
Glad to hear this was helpful! Diet and supplements can help a lot, especially when medications didn’t help. Many of the people I work with say they no longer have seasonal allergies (or have minimal symptoms) after working on their gut issues. Histamine problems can stem from the gut and the gut shouldn’t be overlooked…
You now the choice of DAO supplements. Pig or sprouts. Found that my food lifestyle was very high in histamine. Liberators, leftovers, fermented foods.
Rule for leftovers; one day - that’s it. Kind of sucks, but totally worth it. Careful of buying food that sits in the fridge for weeks before eating. Buy for the next 2/3 days. Healthier to do this versus getting histamine overdose from aged foods. Also , think about how much perishable food you have to throw out on a monthly basis. Though you might be at the grocery store more, you’re going to save a lot of money on food shopping for 2/3 days only.
Yes I recently found the vegetarian DAO… have you tried it? You can freeze leftovers. Freezing stops histamine from building up in the food and reduces food waste.
@@NourZibdeh I am trying that. With a strong elimination diet and Naturdao I am having good results after only 1 week. No more daily diarrhea and I feel a little bit better. But since I am vegetarian and never tried the other one, I can not compare.
Heal your leaky gut first
@@MalaspinaLilybought DAO but yet another supplement that’s gives reactions🤦♀️
I heard that it is "peas" sprouts, of all sprouts. Not clover. Not alfalfa, but Peas...
Yes, well explained. My mcas was caused by stress. Over the years it got worse and worse. I never took the connection between the brain and the gut seriously, but stress and sleep deficit is the worst for me.
My "aha" moment was when you said black and green tea can block dao! My son has postnasal drip and he loves ice tea. I assumed this was better for him than drinking soda!!!
Thank you so much for talking about this, it’s quite overlooked!
It is!!! the symptoms are so confusing and seem random but it makes so much sense when you finally connect the dots… best wishes!
I've had mast fell activation disorder for the past year and a half and it can ge truly debilitating. I had to eliminate all sorts of food and for a few months I even had to order un-aged meat from the US (I'm in Canada). Took huge amounts of DAO supplements, etc., and have been on 20 mg anti-histamines all along. The thing that's helped me the most is intravenous Vitamin C. I still get IV infusions every 6 weeks (down from every 2 weeks) and will continue to do so fir as long as it takes.

I suspect the genetic variation that you mentioned who do not produce the DAO as needed. I was convinced I am allergic to corn and wheat. I went to an allergist, for testing who seemed to know none of what you talked about. First stop should've been the dietician I guess. Thank you so much! Now i have a plan of action and will seek out the proper provider.

This is EXCELLENT. A regular dietitian won’t know this
Thank you for mentioning that antihistamines don't get rid of histamine in the body. My doctor told me to take three antihistamines a day and it wasn't helping at all.
They may help short term but they don’t suppress the production of histamine. Hopefully this video helped you determine what to investigate.. best wishes
I have had chronic anxiety for 9 years. I found out 1 year ago I had gut dysbios. I've been fixing that with my naturopath. The anxiety hasn't gotten much better. Do you think histamine could be a primary reason for anxiety?
It was a nice and informative video. The most important thing I learned is that Anti Histamine medicine creates more histamine.
Whole 26 years of my life was useless before this video. Thank you ma'am ❤
I've been struggling for YEARS as well. I kept trying to tell my old doctor that something was wrong. Since he didn't know what it was, he tried to re-route the conversation. Well, that was leading nowhere, obviously.
Just met with a new doctor, a Naturopath, this past Friday and I LOVE her.
This is EXTREMELY helpful in identifying where my conditions stem from and how they are all related. Thank you!!
I have MTHFR genetic variant, and thats where I struggle with methylation and histamine intolerance. Really increasing supplementation of methylated B complex helped tremendously.
Have you heard of TMG (trimethyl glycine)? I've heard it's good to take alongside methylated folate and B12.
Good to hear this! I was diagnosed with the MTHFR gene with two copies last week! I just started a supplement for this made by Xymogen this week

I was put on sodium cromoglicate, ketotifen, and H1 and H2 anti-histamines. I found taking DAO was better than the antihistamines when taken with Quercetin, vit C plus Zinc, and b vitamins and magnesium. I do take ketotifen at night as it stops the racing thoughts, and headaches. Half a tablet means I sleep a bit better. I now use very moderate amounts of fermented food every other day, or so. Your approach is thorough. Oh, and watch those FODMAPS and processed foods. The fresher the food, the better. In its natural form. Get lots of fibre too, and I use electrolytes. It’s a daily balancing act.
I’m glad your found some relief! Keep in mind that if you have to avoid FODMAPs longterm, then there’s an underlying gut problem that isn’t fully solved ❤️

This is the best video on histamine intolerance I have seen so far. Thank you very much for sharing this.
Glad it was helpful!
I wondered if I was histamine intolerant years ago and focused on reducing proteins that were aged, fermented foods, and being careful of when I ate histamine releasing foods.
I believe I have had SIBO for a long time. The western medical system won't test me for SIBO but gave me drugs for it when they didn't know for sure if I had it. I fired the Gastroenterologist for continuously gate keeping the functional testing I needed.
I did my own research and although meat has the potential for having lots of histamines I have had no real histamine issues since going off plants and carbs. I believe that I have begun to heal the SIBO among other things since 4 months on the Carnivore diet. I will do this elimination diet for at least 6 months to get rid of SIBO, lose excess weight, and get rid of the painful oxalates in my joints. Then I will try to add back low histamine/low oxalate foods to see if they bring symptoms back. I will stay away from grains and sugars for good. My body cannot handle those at all.
Best wishes… try to get some low histamine and easy to digest fruit and veggies slowly… the gut still needs antioxidants, polyphenols and gently tolerated prebiotics ❤️

Excellent - so well conceived, so well presented, clear, educated and knowledgeable, fabulous - thank you.
@@marilynbara6330 thank you and glad it was helpful
Nour is a genius. I'm not even half way through the video, and this is the most informative info I've seen on this topic!
I've had histamine intolerance for years. I learned more about it in this 12 min video than I have with anything else! I've already tried a number of things you mentioned, but my big AH-HA is that the steroid inhaler I use for asthma is blocking DAO. I recently discovered it is causing ALL my health issues,. I learned that it causes dysbiosis, which is related to histamine intolerance, but I didn't know it was also blocking DAO. I will now work towards getting off that medication. Doctors do not look for the root causes. We need people like you. Thank you!
No, they don't. Most modern doctors are only taught to treat the symptom. Throw a pill at it. Heckers, throw a whole bottle of pills at it. Doesn't fix it. Seriously; go into a doctor's office. Mention a disease. Any disease/chronic condition. They probably can name at least 3 pills for it, but NOT an actual remedy!
P.S. Do you use non-stick cook ware? -I used to. And I was diagnosed with "Asthma" and put on a daily inhaler. A friend of mine loves birds, and has quite a few. But she can't have non-stick cook ware, as the off-gassing kills the canaries. Then I got to thinking: If a little tiny canary's lungs fail due to this, what is it doing to MY lungs? I've been off the non-stick cookware, and the inhaler for more than 10 years now. And no more raspy voice. Very very seldom an asthma attack. And back when I used the regular inhaler, I could only get to 325 on the spirometer. Now I do better than 750 regularly!
100% environmental toxicity will stimulate mast cells which release lots of histamine and other immune mediators, leading to all of these symptoms. I'm finding mold toxicity to be common with my patients with histamine and mast cell activation issues, and asthma can be triggered by mold.
I didn’t know to get tested for the conditions. I’m going to talk to my doctor.
Good talks in depth to grasp it properly. Most of the other doctors appear to be representative of Pharma companies
Thank you very much for this ! very clear and concise, I'm sure it'll help a great deal !
Glad to hear that!
This is very important and something that is rarely discussed. Thank you for this.
I suspected that antihistamines were setting up a vicious cycle for me and the info you provided confirmed that.
Glad to hear it was helpful!!!
Persistent use of antihistamines suppresses the guts' production of hydrochloric acid, which is the last thing you want for gut health. Food not well broken down leads to dismotility, inflammation, and possible leaky gut syndrome. Then, when you stop taking the antihistamines, the gut ramps up the hydrochloric acid again which generally leads to overproduction and dyspepsia, i.e; heartburn.
@@NonyaSmith OMG why does no doctor ever explain all this? Either they're unaware or intentionally don't want to help 😢😢
@@sagartripti I'm sure NonyaSmith and others here could teach me several things, but I've been using a small amount of liquid diphenhydramine (less than a pediatric dose) to temporarily increase control of chest and respiratory symptoms, and for topical reduction of throat symptoms, sometimes a few times a day. Thankfully I have "good days" when I don't use any at all. I sure didn't get there overnight, for better or worse. I often balance this with some challenges of my ability to tolerate histamine liberating compounds such as (extremely low dose, e.g. {unsweetened} USA tonic water) quinine. It doesn't hit me as hard as a large (e.g. pure-ish) chocolate bar or large can of beans -- canned beans are rough with me, sprouted are much much more tolerable. (I'm searching for comments I've left today because I'm trying to reply to a notification I clicked away from in a drop-down menu, and there are so many new comments now!)
Expert advice should be more available and accessible. I think patient support communities are essential, in part because the studies we eventually hear about often study US! ... so I should mention that YRMV, and good luck.
I've also heard that antihistamines, certainly including benadryl (which is in my words "thorough," in that it "crosses the blood-brain barrier," as I've heard it explained), can block HMNT, which is of course the intracellular counterpart of diamine oxidase, our histamine enzymes (AFAIK, and my education on these topics is notably informal, but this may have been covered in the video we're commenting on). And of course, blocking HMNT is not ideal for resolving HIT symptoms.
I have been having these issues for 6 years already and my doctors always give me more and more medication . Now I started to do my own research and realising that none of my doctors or specialist ever did a test on food allergy or sensitivity nor looking at my guts 😱. I feel a bit angry in a way because they all chose to give me more medication that are barely helping anymore instead of starting at the base and do more research first 😢. I will try and find the right dietician and doctor and hopefully they will help to find the root of the problem instead of pumping me full of meds that don't work anymore except in high doses . Thank you for your explanation it really opened a new door for me ❤
I would start with Leaky Gut trying Zinc L-Carosine I do take the PepZinGI which has helped me I am 4 years into this.
@@beckiwildeman600 thank you so much for your advice ❤️
I would like to inform you that there is vegan DAO enzymes in Canada and US 's market that they made of legumes.
I'm really happy for the pea sprouts tip, tthank you!❤
Yay! I was excited about it too!
Thanks for the H2 blocker insights!
Allergist suggested limiting allergic foods to very small amounts, not consumed all at the same time & don't overfill your daily bucket.....my bucket is small.
I hope this video helps. There's room for H2 blockers to relieve histamine overload but it's important to have a plan for addressing root causes.. best wishes!
Excellent and concise explanation of how histamine intolerance works.. thank you for creating this video and sharing your expertise
Thank you for sharing this information...it’s making me rethink some daily practices!
Glad to hear that!
Fantastic information and presentation! Subscribed! Only thing I would add is how important getting sunlight is. Especially if you live in the northern climate.
A treasure of knowledge! Kudos!
Thank you. Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much. You are thorough and convey the information clearly.
@@funghouls5498 thank you for sharing that. Glad it was helpful and clear!
I’m a new subscriber, thank you so much for all the videos on Histamine intolerance etc., appreciate you and your work! ❤
Thank you for such a clear and simple to understand video. For me, it comes and goes and besides some environmental triggers, I believe it is or has been very stressful situations. Life is more peaceful now and thus, I expect to have this situation improve greatly.
Yes stress can mess up the immune system … hang in there and do your best to manage stress!
I recently asked my allergy/asthma doctor why I've been on 2 rounds of allergy shots and on so much medication and still struggling. I showed her pictures of swollen eyes and rashes I get. I've done all the things I'm 12:42 supposed to do to make my home as allergy free as possible but until I take a zyrtec every morning I'm a mess. She tested for histamines and they were very high. She wanted to do a patch test but she's over an hour away from me and I have to go there 3 times in a week. Since retirement this year I'm not around mold that was a biggie for me and I'm doing better. A few months ago I was having a loud beating in my left ear. I had complained that my nose on the left side always felt like there was something stuffed in there and that in the morning I'd notice there was something that looked like something very swollen. The pounding was getting worse so I went to another doctor who put me on 2 different nose sprays and the pounding went away within 2 days. Also found that with stomach problems all my life the solution was to stop using mint toothpaste. I use cinnamon toothpaste and no more stomach issues after 30 some years.
Heal your leaky gut first
I realised fluoride is bad so stopped using toothpaste,I use mint out out the garden that I soak in hot water
I dip brush in coconut oil and hit it with fine grain sea salt, and my teeth feel like porcelain
Thank for explaining. My result for DOA is 9.6 um/l, this is all new to me but its ticking so many boxed regarding my health over last 10 yrs, working out what to do next so I will be working my way through your videos. ❤
How did you get tested?
@@sarahduncan3806 it was test I bought on line, where blood is taken then analysised at lab
I am wondering your thoughts on hormones such as Estrogen dominance and histamine levels. I am wondering if this is my problem. Great video thanks
Sleep what is that ? 35 years EMS worker . Im 70 and one of those people who is allergic to many things and have been battling histamine since I was born. All ENT's want to do is treat Me with steroids and antihistamines both a dead end street. I enjoyed Your video and will try to follow Your advice.
Thank you so much!...Just one video and explained it clearly.❤❤❤
Glad to hear that!
Dear doctor.. please stay around - we need people like you 😁 Thank you for a most informative video.
Thank you and I hope this and other videos have helped you!
Great video and nice style of presentation. I'm subscribing!
Glad to hear that!!! Let me know if you have topics I can cover next!
Great video! Thanks for explaining it so well
You are right. Antihistamines does not alleviate the symptoms especially when I get a bad flare.
Exactly. I was lost before and now I know what caused my reactions to some foods!
@@ThaiWithSarah glad you have more clarity!
What helps you when you have a flare?
Beautifully explained. Thank you Nour. I have horrible seasonal pollen allergies and have had it since I remember. So does my mother. Might be genetic but the info you’ve shared helps me understand why I struggle every morning during the allergy season. Our docs prescribe anti allergy meds and like to put us on them forever but I think it’s important to tackle the root cause and reduce dependency like you said.
Outstanding, concise and yet thorough presentation. Keep it up Nour!
Thank you and I’m glad it’s helpful!
Glad to hear that!
Processed foods, tomatoes, peanuts, vinegar, tamarind cause high histamine in some. Sour foods and raw milk or only milk too. Eat fresh foods.
Rice, glutton, sugars, high carb diets
Thank you for this video and your foods list video! How long should we follow a low histamine diet before we reintroduce some histamine foods every now and then?
THANK YOU VERY MUCH! Mosquito bites trigger my histamine. The 'aha' moment, there were a couple, I never knew about mold. My apartment does not get any sunlight, the bathroom has mold on the ceiling, the kitchen has mold in the top and bottom cupboards and also on a part of the kitchen ceiling. The bedroom wooden furniture, board surfaces and cardboard boxes have mold on them. How to get rid of all these molds? I also didn"t know about the candida and parasites and virus enablers. Never heard of DAO. I did not know about the anti-histamines not being such a great idea. I"ve been taking the pills for the itchy bites which take months to heal and then leave black marks on my skin. Didn"t know the connection between the itching and hives and headaches. Didn't know diet could help to control histamine. Thank you so much again.😊
Can you have your apartment manager clean up the mold. It’s definitely a health hazard. Try Tilex Bleach Mold Remover for the bathroom. Works quickly. Open windows and don’t spray a lot and wear a mask and gloves.
@@MomHarper927 Caribbean landlords dont care about these things unfortunately . Someone told me to burn a sulphur candle in the apartment ( for air-borne mold and mold that has settled onto furniture and clothing). I did so twice and it really helped. Thanks for the tip about the Tilex Bleach Mold Remover for the bathroom. That will help me get to spots i couldnt reach in the bathroom. Previously, i was just using diluted bleach on a sponge. I only have 2 windows in the entire apartment😆
Demand that the owner clean up the Mold which you should not be living in and most definitely getting a Dehumidifier to prevent that from happening ever again or move. Mold is a health hazard.
One of the most comprehensive video on histamine intolerance! Thank you!
Question: is being allergic to ragweed a histamine issue? What could be the underlying cause for it?
Thank you for your comment. Yes, environmental allergies (including ragweed) will cause a spike in histamine production. You can try to lower your exposure. You could talk to your allergist about treatment options. A low histamine diet and looking for other root causes will lower your histamine bucket and can help too
Thank you for this information. You are very informative on this subject.
Happy it was helpful!
Thank you for producing this video histamine is an issue for me 🙏
Very informative & useful indeed. Thank you
happy to hear that! Best wishes
Thank you! I believe I have this condition! I have been so scared because my allergies have become quite severe. I am taking anti-histamines daily and life is almost unbearable. I have started eating more slowly now because I used to wolf my food down. I believe I have a build-up of histamine in my system. I am going to try the anti-inflammatory diet, avoiding the trigger foods and hopefully try the DAO enzyme to see if I can get some relief. Thank you for this wonderful information.
I'm glad to hear it was helpful. Making some diet changes on your own is always a good idea when starting out. Try the diet + DAO for 1 month and if you still got symptoms or have to stay on a super strick diet, something is up. If you'd like my help uncovering the root causes, please book an appointment using this link (nourzibdeh.com/getstarted/) I've helped people in the past reduce / wean off anti-histamines
No sugar, glutton, milk, take 1/4 spoon apple cider vinegar in 1 cup water with straw before meals

what are histamin foods. ur video is an eye opener . we come to know about many unknown thinks . thanks for sharing
I have another video on what to eat for histamine /low histamine foods. Let me know if you can’t find it
In the uk, 🇬🇧 go,private with this. No gp can help you. …. Had “something” since a very early age. But became aware of it age 7. Then my parents divorced, I didn’t take that well. Things gradually worsened relatively over the years with several flares along the way plus glandular fever late teens. No Dr could help except one who mentioned histamine in diet. After eliminating dairy and gluten as best I could I saw an improvement by my late 30s. But still couldn’t get to the bottom of it (lol) then in my 50’s a new Dr said I had fibromyalgia. An utterly useless diagnosis but she was the nearest to my symptoms and it did point me in one of several directions. One of which is histamine intolerance and only now, do I have a very qualified chiropractor ( one of many) and a dietician who are working together to help me with HI. If it wasn’t for my Chiropractor I think I’d be in a wheel chair more often than not. She’s well trained and has to understand the whole body system not just how to manipulate my spine back into the right position. Understanding why my spine sticks in the wrong place is part of the treatment, and we are treating HI. If you see my blood slides and the clumping of blood cells in different sizes it becomes clear why too. Lack of oxygen transference from sick blood cells can’t help. B12 deficiency evident in large blood cells. Stress clumping
Been taking bilastine for 15-20 years everyday with itching, asthma, nasal polyps. I didnt know that antihistaminics are to be taken for a short period of time...nor my doctors!! Thanks for this video
Thank you for a very clear and concise presentation. Do you know if dietary antioxidants effect histamine levels? I suck liposomal glutathione (200mg daily). It increases morning sleep and empties the “histamine bucket” at the start of the day. It’s great for dreams too!
Low antioxidant levels can affect your immune system’s response to triggers and worsen histamine intolerance Taking liposomal glutathione can help, in addition to eating a diet rich in antioxidants. And it’s important to detect if there are sources of infection or inflammation that are causing the increased oxidative damage
Great info. Is it necesary to do a test first ?
Hi Nour Zibdeh: Thank you for this video. I am contacting you on behalf of my wife (73 year old Filipina) otherwise in good health except for recently-acquired Histamine Intolerance. Her diet for life has basically been vegetables, rice, with occasional shrimp or pork (common in the Philippines). When we eat out, sometimes we get spicy Indian food, which we love. We vacation regularly in Hawaii, and recently in Mexico to get some more sunshine. We live in Vancouver BC Canada and are thus starved of sunshine. We take supplements like Vitamin C, D, E, A, B-Complex and other good supplements like zinc, turmeric, kelp, etc. Occasionally during the spring-time, she may get 1 week of hay fever from the pollen in the air, which goes away quickly with diphenhydramine hydrochloride tablets for a few days. With our most recent vacation to Mexico, something must have happened, but we have not been able to figure it out. The all-inclusive resort had good food and clean water, from which we had no immediate symptoms. However, 5 days after being back in Vancouver in early August 2023, we sat in the sunshine for 15 minutes on the outside deck. After going inside and a couple of minutes later, she broke out in Hives that apparently were triggered by the sunshine. I was not affected. She has nice brown skin and has lived half of her life in the Philippines and half in Vancouver. We did further tests and determined that UVB would always trigger the same histamine response and hives. We have cut out different foods searching for the root cause, and cannot find a correlation between any particular food and the histamine-related hives. She is now taking histDAO supplements but they have not fixed the problem. I am thinking that she may have acquired some gut bacteria from the pork in Mexico, which is a good reason to avoid pork as I do. We want to fix this and get back to the way she was before our Mexico vacation. The other possibility is some reaction from the Mesenchymal Stem Cell treatment that she received from a clinic in Mexico, but this was her second treatment for her knee joints. Her first Stem Cell treatment from the same clinic was one year ago, and there were no problems at all. I don't think that her problem is diet related, except that something we did in Mexico has created this histamine intolerance, like a gut bacteria. I am an Engineer, so I am driven to find and fix the root cause directly and not simply cover up the condition. Do you think you can help and if so, how do we proceed? Please contact me at GarryAnderson@shaw.ca so we can work together. Thank you.
It actually sounds like a delayed hypersensitivity response to the stem cell treatment with photosensitivity. Allergic responses take time to develop which is why she didn’t have a reaction the first time.
@@rrcmjp22 Hi Marlena: Thank you for your suggestion. At the moment, I am thinking it might be parasites in the gut, from eating pork in Mexico. We are trying Ivermectin for a few weeks to see if that has any effect. If that does not work, then I will pursue your suggestion.
Hi ... sorry to hear that. I think it's difficult to guess what it is without proper testing. The immune system may have gone haywire due to parasite or other microbes (virus, bacteria, etc), or exposure to environmental toxins. The sun and heat can trigger histamine. Gut microbiome imbalances interfere with histamine clearance. Often, you have to address multiple things at the same time to truly notice an improvement. If you'd like further assistance, you can book an assessment and strategy session here: nourzibdeh.com/getstarted/
The body is extremely complex and there is an intricate balance which is maintained by your body. When you take one supplement, it causes depletion of a different one and side effects follow. You should not take any supplements and eat the actual food which is rich in those nutrients. Alternatively you can take beef liver/organ pills if you can't eat the actual organs. But don't take supplements. I am talking from experience. You will end up with nasty side effects which won't show up right away. It will take months or years to affect your health negatively. For tens of thousands of years humans took no supplements or isolated vitamins. They ate the actual food which contained those vitamins. The supplement industry wants you to believe that you can take a short cut and just take a few vitamins with no long term side effects. Their goal is to make money. They don't care about your health. Another thing that will help you recover quickly is intermittent fasting which has been done for thousands of years by various cultures. It is extremely beneficial for your health. It can clear up many health issues with zero cost.
@@TheManGrant yall should try prolonged fasting. Look up autophagy, its bad ass. I accidentally stumbled on it because I did a prolonged dry fast for spiritual renewal, lost a lot of muscle the first 2 times I did a 3 day dry fast, but by the 3rd and 4th time, sth UNUSUAL was going on in my body. Lets just say my body hit a new rock bottom and began to heal itself. I have typed lengthy pages explaining this to people but I'll advise you to look it up. Now I fast for prolonged periods- no food, no water, no shower, no brush and no contact with water. Usually for me after the 3rd day, everything seems broken off and broken down, I did 4 days once, hard dry fast, by the end of day 4 everything in my mouth felt dead. When I brushed, I believe I saw stuff like plaques coming off, my oral health has never been so good. Belly pouch gone, muscles more resilient, a little weight lifting gives me results of someone whos been in the gym for months, I lose fat but retain muscles, hormones balanced themselves out, hair growing suddenly, I can go on and on. The reset I got from the last 2 prolonged fasts have made me want to eat better. Autophagy is a real reset. Also as someone else mentioned, please for your own sake THROW OUT THE SUPPLEMENTS. Before you actually find a really good one, chances are you've suffocated yourself with more poison. Its just a revolving door and problems are released much later to create confusion and make you blame the wrong things. The industries behind these things dont give a rats ass about your health. Look into fasting first, chances are that reset will clear out an unbelievable percentage of that sudden reaction. Also if you're Christian, don't forget to call Jesus to help you. You don't lose nothing by praying, worst case scenario, He doesn't answer. And it takes nothing from you. But if He answers, ohhh booyyy, you're about to get brand new organs. ❤❤
