Be careful with histamine intolerance, you can go down a rabbit hole and eliminate toooo many foods. You can never have a no histamine diet. I do a moderate histamine diet. I find Liposomal Quercetin and Liposomal Vitamin C very helpful. Stinging nettle and DAO wasn’t helpful for me. When I went carnivore for a short period I noticed my histamine issues increased. Cured meats are extremely high in histamine (bacon). My diet now is autoimmune paleo, with the addition of white rice. In my experience the more foods I eliminated to find the perfect diet for me the worse I got. My histamine intolerance was really bad at one point, my face would flush after eating most foods.
Typical for carnivore is increased skin issues at beginning probably this caused by fact that if you eat food that you should not eat then your body produces substances to either destroy or trap problematic molecules but when you eat carnivore it release all stored stuff for example in fat its called "oxalate dumping" google graphic show some images of it, carnivore should be done at least 3 months
Start taking dhist before you eat and i honestly am down to about 20 foods i tolerate well it took me decades to understand what my body needed .. @LifeDIY I have this and it's never been under control the inflammation just is off the charts . I own rife machines and pemf and have tried it all diet is key and will be the most helpful.
My ear pressure goes up and the tinnitus goes louder when my histamine is high. Mostly meat based diet helps me a lot. I cook every day, and I try to eat as fresh as possible.
I got histamine intolerance after being on the carnivore diet for 2.5 years I eat 90% grass fed ground beef.. I have developed itchy head and legs i get redness on my face on each side of my nose. I also just recently got small patches of psoriasis on a couple of my knuckles I never had any of these issues. I'm starting to seriously question the carnivore diet...
"Genetic issues to vibration". It's more likely to be the nervous system. DOA is what you need. I tried one supplement from the US. I noticed a little improvement. It's linked to mast cell activation too.
Thank you! I will someday. :) I need to get a bit better with styling it. This was day 2 hair and after I blow dried it, I actually did something different. I used a curling want to curl some parts of it and then I took the area I curled and rolled it with my fingers into pin curls - pinned them up. I left them up for several hours and it helped me retain the waves for longer. I hope that makes sense. If you've never done pin curls, I have a video on it. You leave them in overnight and it turns out so pretty. You don't need to use heat to do them: ruclips.net/video/gAs5Klw0M9Y/видео.html.
I think I have some of this. I think some of my issues might be from too much coffee which I've cut back because it can affect your absorption of some minerals which affects liver efficiency which in turn might make you more sensitive due to a less efficient liver function. So cutting coffee to half the amount, and taking magnesium and zinc supplement and upping vitamin D and B and will see how things go. Also had to watch the video twice because first time I was looking at your pretty face :) I also plan on cutting most of the refined sugars, grains, flours to see what happens. I already have reduced it over the years but even more is on the plans. Seed oils are already gone. Started increasing my seafood intake as well to get more omega 3. Also I'm happy you found what was your trigger. I takes a long time for many and possibly never. I hope you continue to feel better and better!
I have histamine intolerance as well and have sinus swelling and pain. The first moment my sinuses start to hurt I start to drink water. When you have high histamine in your body, water really helps to dilute the histamine, and, of course, you will pee it out. The second thing that works phenomenally well is Alkalol Nasal wash. If I catch the pain soon enough, this should calm things down. Sometimes though, I need to do a saline nasal wash later in the day. If I am having a REALLY bad day, I also use hot compresses on my sinuses. Hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing this! I too use a saline nasal rinse when things are starting to flare up with the sinuses. I'll probably use it again today - so thanks for the reminder. It is really helpful. Also steaming can be great too.
I've been on an animal based diet for about 15 years. I have hypothyroid and it keeps me from gaining weight. But I have noticed some of your same issues too. One of the things that breaks down histamine is beef kidney. You can take as a supplement. Also, I was interested in NAD. Watched a video from this PHD biochemist that said NAD decline might be as much about the increase of an enzyme called CD38. She has a formula for boosting NAD by inhibiting this enzyme which she thinks may be increased if you supplement with NMN alone. She found dried parsley actual inhibits CD38. I've found that dried parsley helps with all the symptoms you spoke about. It stops the tinnitus and opens my sinuses again. I take about a teaspoon at a time. It probably works similar to stinging nettle which is the same plant family. Here is her video: ruclips.net/video/N6I__ijIkJk/видео.html
Avoid store bought ground beef. I was never able to connect the dots until recently. I always have get histamine reaction in form of hives on my legs and arms whenever I have ground beef or any diced meats. Another thing I found was when my glycogen stores are depleted (aka no carbs) for too long, I get histamine reactions as well. In my opinion, insulin cannot be suppressed for too long long as it plays a role in preventing catabolism. Best time of the day to trigger insulin is 12-2pm and this should be you biggest meal (with some whole foods carbs of course) and don’t worry you won’t get fat. Limit your carbs to 20g between 6-7pm. No carbs at breakfast to keep fat burning going. This is what I’ve figured out. Something else that could trigger histamine reactions is bone broth made from store bought bones, instead stick to meat broths or chicken broth made from a whole chicken. Just to add, of you are going to do ground beef, buy a whole cut and blend it yourself as well as store in the freezer after blending.
I suffer this to a chronic, pretty-much-life-wrecking-level, because It only allows me to sleep about 3-4 hours, most nights. Although that degree of severity is less an intolerance, more full blown MCAS. At least, symptomatically. I'm sure I could offer something useful, but your question is rather open-ended - I don't know quite how to respond. And you covered some of the immediate points, such as not leaving meat to sit in the fridge, and experimenting with DAO. I'll list some things I have learnt through research, but apologies if it's old ground for you, Holly - I know you research a lot too: 1) All sorts of unlikely things can cause histamine-release in the body, including vigorous exercise and even sex. Both are examples of things that should be relaxing, but excessive histamine-release actually raises stress levels, so things that are therapeutic to most people may leave high-histamine sufferers feeling twitchy, itchy, anxious and unwell. It sounds like your rebounding did this, although that might be because you hadn't trained for a while, so it stressed your body more than usual. 2) Histamine doesn't just build up in stored meat, some fruit and veg contains naturally high levels. Avocados are naturally high, and nuts/seeds can build up a lot of histamine because of storage - two things that I believe you like to eat. 3) Some fish are naturally high, even when fresh. Particularly sardines and mackerel. So, tinned sardines, due to storage, would be like a histamine bomb in your body. 4) Black mould-spore exposure causes BIG histamine issues, so check your house, loft and outhouses. 5) Oxalate build up in the body causes histamine issues, although they don't yet understand why. 6) Didn't you once suffer carbon monoxide poisoning? I'm wondering if a long term, downstream effect of that could be mast cell degranulation? 7) In which case, stabilizing your mast cells might help if DAO doesn't. The quercetin you took in the past would have helped with this, but I know it lowered your blood pressure. However, there are other flavanoids in the same group that are supposed to work equally well. They might be worth experimenting with. One is Luteolin (allegedly better than quercetin), not to be confused with lutein. The other is Apigenin, which can also (allegedly) improve NAD levels through a different pathway to NMN. And it can aid sleep. Kind of an interesting supplement all round if it works. Both are fat-soluble, so take with a fatty meal. Remember, though, that a little exposure to excess histamine actually teaches our bodies how to cope, so removing it completely could be counterproductive. As always, it's all about balance.
Thank you so much. This is incredibly useful. First, I am so sorry you have MCAS. I should have mentioned it in this video. I can't imagine what you have to deal with. Thank you for mentioning the high histamine foods like avocado, nuts, etc. Those are some of my favorites and I need to take a break from them. I did not realize that sardines were really high in histamine and last night I was so hungry before bed and had nothing else, so I ate sardines. And, I had poor sleep and breathing issues. I did also purchase luteolin and I also take Quercetin daily. My blood pressure seems to be fine nowadays, so I'm back on it. Thank you also for the tip about having some exposure so the body can cope, versus over-treating.
@@LifeDIY Oops. No, sardines might not be your ideal bedtime snack. 😃 Unless you enjoy twitchy dreams of fishy congestion. They're sooo cheap and healthy, though! Plus, they give you your calcium in the absence of dairy. It's a perfect example of how these elimination-diets can become such a nuisance. Because some of the healthiest foods on Earth are high histamine. Also the ones with the best storage properties. And you live in a cabin in the woods which probably gets snowed in at this time of year ... You could train your devoted squirrel-tribe to go foraging, but they'll just come back with more nuts, and you can't really blame them. They're squirrels, Holly, they don't understand your complex nutritional needs. And Alvin just thinks he's a cartoon-character. He probably eats candy bars and smokes a cigar. If you ever offend him, he'll shove a stick of fizzing dynamite down the back of your pants, and then you'll find out what a bad hair-day really looks like. It all seems to draw you inexorably back towards carnivore. But I'm not convinced that carnivore is the ideal diet for a Holly-Beth, even though it's absolutely none of my business what she puts in her tummy. It's just a feeling I got from watching your before, during and after videos, and listening to your experiences. Having said that, Kerry is clearly thriving on it. And he looks terrific. But you may not be metabolically identical, even though you are related. Which inspires the thought: Given that you are close in age and you are both in great shape, the similarities and differences in your diets would make for a really interesting science-experiment ... In theory, you should get all the same benefits as Kerry does from meat, but you also get polyphenols/flavanoids/anthocyanins, along with more vitamin C and E, and less overcook from mTor and IGF spikes. If the science stacks up, your diet should really win through in the next few decades, and it will show. Well, OK, it's a minor victory, I admit. But sisters enjoy saying things like, "I told you so," and, "If you had only listened to me ..." And then they prance around, looking smug. I know this because I have one, and she is generally right about everything.
I can relate about the itchy scalp and ears, Holly! Regular scalp massages with oils has helped me greatly regarding the scalp itching. As for the itchy ears, I totally agree, it’s the most annoying thing ever. I suffered with it for many years. Thankfully it's better now. I still get occasional dry flaky skin in my ears, but it’s not that bad. Nothing like the annoying incessant itching that I suffered with before…Sadly I don’t think I can confidently pinpoint what improved the itching...My guess is, I now eat “healthier foods” (who knows?), I exercise more than I used to, and I upped my vitamin intake. Interesting that you mentioned you had reactions after using your vibration plate. I used to get rashes or hives sometimes after using mine. I found staggering my time on it helped reduce that problem. Funnily enough I’ve had the plate for donkey's years, and only decided to get it out of the loft a couple of months ago...Thought it would be a great thing to do during the winter months. Sadly I haven’t motivated myself to even use it once yet :) Would love to hear if you get past your problems on your vibration plate. I have sinus issues as well, but thankfully they don’t last…I hope your sinus issues are fleeting, and clear up quickly.
Thanks, Joe! You should dust off the vibration plate and try it out again. :) I am sure I will get past these issues. Lately things are getting better with the issues becoming more sporadic. I just need to be more careful with things for a little while.
I really should start using it. I remember feeling more flexible after using it before. It’ll be good for my golf swing ;) I’m gathering from what you said about your itchy ears that it’s not a permanent thing? I hope that’s the case. I used to get a lot of ear infections due to poking and prodding my ears. Wishing you all the best Holly. These issues can be so frustrating.
I've been dealing with extremely high histamine levels since the COVID Pfizer vax. High histamine foods trigger a severe allergic reaction of congestion, coughing and runny nose for hours.
@LifeDIY thank you so much. I have not found anything other than reducing my intake of high histamine foods. I think I am going to go see an Alergy Specialist
This is sooooo interesting! I am looking forward to the video about the comprehensive test. Is it something you can do at home? given that a blood draw (?) is involved.
I found your video is very informative. About 3 months ago I struggled with IBS n that was why I tried to eat more ground meats to help me with my digestion. Then one night, not sure exactly when I started to have some rash around my neck. Then I thought it was sth from I bed so I have been washing bed blankets, pillow cases, etc very often or put them in the sun whenever possible. My rash problem gradually has turned to hives so bad that I had to used zertec. Hives only attack me at night then but now i have some rash here n there during day time too. I started to keep a food diary but it drives me crazy since I can not figure out what are the triggers when I checked the food i had with the high histamine food list. Also I don't have hives every night. Definitely eliminate ground meats from now on. I recently bought a bouncer too but I don't use it everyday. Glad you mentioned about your bouncer. I'm trying vitamin D, B complex n Zinc at the moment . Thanks a million for your video n everyone 's comments. It's so great. Wishing 🙏 you all the best❤
How did you get diagnosed with histamine intolerance? I've had a lot of those symptoms for many years, presumably relating to Crohn's disease which I was diagnosed with 30+ years ago. Although I found I was also allergic to dust later. Nearly all of the symptoms went away after surgery, and a bucket load of supplements targeting inflammation.
Sorry to hear you had these issues too. It's good to hear that most of the symptoms went away after surgery. With my recent issues, I haven't been officially diagnosed. I have a pretty good integrative health doctor and I may chat with her about it coming up. I know sometimes people are referred to immunology/allergy for these issues and can be diagnosed that way. I am trying to visit with doctors less nowadays so it's not really a priority for me to get diagnosed. I'm hoping to get everything under control asap. I've noticed the changes I'm making are helping, though it's pretty up and down still.
@LifeDIY It actually sounds more like MCAS (Mast Cells Activation Syndrome). I personally went on carnivore diet because of the histamine intolerance issues and got better 99% of the time. Still have histamine symptoms if I consume egg-yolks or casein a few days in a row. However, after 1.5 years of carnivore (2 months ago) I started to have a very bad sleep, exactly as you described in your previous videos. This is how I have found your channel. This is weird :S ... I will be watching your progress.
Thanks for sharing this. I am so glad to hear your issues improved on carnivore! My symptoms are currently better but I am sure it will fluctuate. When you had histamine issues did they flare up at times and then go away? That's what seems to be happening. But, maybe the extra supplements are helping. I'm avoiding the high histamine foods too. I am trying not to take DAO too much, but I've been taking digestive enzymes and stinging nettle at times - plus vitamin C 2x a day and occasionally taking a beef organ supplement. Since adding all these things in and being more careful, I am currently not having the symptoms - which is nice. I am so sorry you're dealing with the sleep issues. There are so many variables involved - it is so tough to figure it out. I would experiment. It's also a hard time of year right now as some people just don't get a lot of sun - depending on where you live. I think that could be part of it.
Your not alone , many people have or had a somewhat lesser histamine intolerance , due many factors , low dao , gut issues , environmental triggers , go on a meat based , eating mostly ground beef maybe even experimenting wjth bone broth , get reactions they arent used to , me personally my symptoms were to hard to manage while on a carinvore diet , many ignore their symptoms for quite a while , in hopes that they will become adapted or some other reasons why they have this symptoms , will settle in by time , some people experience relief with patience , sadly for others the opposite.
Yeah I think some people stick it out when suffering because many people online will say that it's just a healing process or you'll be fine soon, etc. but I know some people really struggle and for some, it just doesn't work. Since posting this video, I've made a few changes (with food handling and what I'm eating & supplements which I've added in) and it's already under control again. I know it can fluctuate and happen again at any time, but so far so good. I'm trying to avoid high histamine foods before bed especially, and eating a bit less bacon and ground meat. :)
I connected the dots last summer and I started to treat this histamine issues. I believe I have had them all my life but I things got more serious on the summer 2024 when I started having skin issues, my skin was just inflamed and pink and heat all over. Before that, I had been for one year having shitti sleep and waking up at night to scratch my skin. Now is under control cause I take foods that don´t trigger this histamine issues. Also, the moment I get a bit more anxious, depressed, emotional...those issues come back. Also, when I do a lot of sports...I believe many, many people are having this and they don´t know so they keep hurting themselves.
I would at least try a different meat or diversifying of multiple farms. Organic does not mean that their soil contains all the micronutrients. Animals from one farm can be too low or too high in this and animals from another farm can be the same in other things. Also, I think its a good idea to take some multivitamin from time to time and minerals. Meat or not, almost everything is depleted of micronutrients and full of chemicals, these days - its in the air, in the water and organic farms are not isolated from it. I see no point in waiting for some deficiency or for an accumulation of some specific poison from a specific meat/farm/area.
@@thriving_mjn Great advice! Thank you. I do take a multivitamin 3-4x a week. I finally got sick of eating the same thing so I am changing things up and eating more of a variety. I buy from a few different places but I am looking for more options.
I have histamine issues and started taking all the recommended supplements, including making my own copper liquid from copper sulfate crystals. I feel like the copper is helping me more than anything. I do really well as long as I don’t eat high histamine foods. I Hope things get better for you.
Dairy seems to create histamine issues for me. When my histamine builds up, I have found taking various levels of Niacin flushes out the histamine. Currently, I dissolve 1 gram Niacin under my tongue and then swallow it to release the histamine. For me, the histamine release works faster on a empty stomach.
Thanks for your comment! It's true that some symptoms of histamine intolerance can overlap with perimenopause, like fatigue and insomnia. Although histamine intolerance is more specific and often includes symptoms like itching, sinus issues, congestion, digestive problems, etc., which aren’t really typical of perimenopause. It's complicated and I am sure the only way to know about any of this for sure is through labwork. I'm going to try to get some done soon.
Omg I have the same itching sensation on my vibration plate. The absolute most time I can do on it is 10 minutes, otherwise I want to scratch my legs and thighs until a rash forms. This happens to me when I run or walk too briskly. Lucky for me, I don’t actually enjoy running so I haven’t put a lot of effort into demystifying this. But I remember reading that it was a genetic thing. If you want to use your rebounder, vibration plate, or run you can micro dose it working up to more minutes and stopping each time right before the itching starts. I had to do this when I naïvely signed up to play soccer. If I didn’t Run around the block to condition myself a few time prior to games I would be an itching mess on the field. You have to condition your body so that the sensation is not new and uncomfortable each time.
Thank you for sharing this! I'm not alone. :)) I know what you mean about getting that type of rash from running also. I can also get it from really cold weather. That's helpful to know about microdosing it. That's so interesting to hear that your body acclimated better with some conditioning. My issues are currently so sporadic and sometimes I have them and others I don't. I am sure it'll get better soon. I just hope the sinus problems improve too.
@ yes, walking in cold weather is another one that causes this sensation for me too. And it’s quite hilarious when I try to explain it to someone because you sound like such a freaking lazy princess trying to explain this to a friend. “I can’t run because my body starts itching and I definitely can’t run or walk in cold weather because my legs get an allergic reaction” Lmao 🤣 I am cracking up even writing this
I apologize for changing the subject This pertains to Dr Paul Anderson and Methylene Blue you posted a comment and am wondering if you’ve had any findings/results in the testing? Thanks and I Appreciate you!
Thanks for the comment! I am still working on it! I'll most likely post updates on my website lifeanddiy.com and reddit www.reddit.com/user/LifeandDiy/ first before posting a video on it here. Do you have any particular products you want tested or that you buy? I will probably end up creating a crowd-funding campaign to pay for the tests. I posted about it here: www.reddit.com/r/methylene_blue/comments/1hnrdhl/any_interest_in_3rd_party_lab_testing_crowdfunded/ and you can see details about the lab testing/pricing.
@ thank you and I appreciate you quick response and comments. Will check out the latter link you posted and see what I may find (in my many products) for you to test. One question; Do you test products such as, magnetic eye lashes? Recently, I bought some on the internet and now I have them in my possession, but hesitant to use them, as my eyes are very sensitive. Am I on the right track with “the testing aspect” of your comment? Thank You and have a GREAT day! ☀️
HRT causes histamine issues. Specifically estrogen. But, failing natural estrogen causes copper dysfunction and histamine issues as well. A cup of soymilk daily has greatly reduced all these issues for me!! I went off of hrt, it was a nightmare!
Only have noticeable problems with "histamine foods" when something else are going on like pollen allergies. Its like the system overloads. Most likely, for me the food are not the main problem.
I can relate. Sneezing fits after eating and general congestion, sinus and chest, off and on. Mostly on. Curious to see if any of the supplements work for you. And how your testing comes out. And yes, I'm 98% carnivore.
We sound pretty similar with these issues. I will definitely update with the results. You can see a sample test report or get more info here: bit.ly/3DJvmHV.
I'm still going to eat really low carb. I've noticed that these histamine issues really fluctuate and even since doing this video, the issues are under control now. I know this can change from week to week, but the changes I've made (adding in some extra supplements) and being a bit more careful about ground beef (not eating leftovers as often) has really helped so far. Since having these issues flare up, I did stop eating as much ground meat and have been making roasts (chuck roast) in a pressure cooker and so far, that's helped too. So, I do like eating ketovore/keto and will stick with it. :)
Well, I did a hair analysis test for heavy metals many years ago. But, this Metabolomix test has it as an add-on option and they use the urine sample to test for the heavy metals.
Beef is aged meat and have more histamine because of that, lamb is better it's not aged as long as beef. The best DAO supplement i found is Naturdao 3 000 000 they make a huge different for me, much better then Daosin and Dao food and the Naturdao 1 000 000 tablets did not help at all.
Mikhaila Peterson had problems with histamine because of all the beef so she was eating more lamb instead and then she started taking DAO and if i remember correctly she could eat beef again, i remember she said DAO made a huge different, she talks about this in one of here videos.
I have always had sinus issues throughout the year. I am highly sensitive to dust and probably always will be. When I fall ill, it severely affects my sinuses. Unexpectedly, when I started the autophagy diet, my head cleared up. I speculate that I had a lot of inflammation in my sinuses and ear canals, and since then, I have experienced much clarity. This year, illnesses have been mild in terms of my sinuses. However, if I sneeze excessively, I take Benadryl to reduce the histamine levels. Overall, I believe that the cellular renewal process from the autophagy diet reduced the inflammation in my sinuses and ear canals, which was a wonderful relief.
@@LifeDIY I read the book "How Not to Age" and followed the diet outlined in it. There is also a book titled "How Not to Diet" that contains the same material on autophagy. I didn't expect that my sinuses would clear up so much or realize that I had that much inflammation in my head. Here is a sample day of eating: breakfast - bran cereal and fruit; lunch - all my protein for the day; dinner - salad and beans. Two key supplements are black cumin and spermidine. It is recommended to eat in the order of king, queen, pauper. I still recommend reading the books as they contain a lot of good modern information, and the doctor/author is quite a unique character.
Have you tried quercetin? It helps with this histamine issues too. Also, avoid histamine trigger foods too of course (you have the list on a simple Google search). BTW, you are taking DAO, I read about it and I refused to take it cause I am working on this so that my own body produces DAO (I read it´s better). The amount of DAO you produce (that eventually is keeping on check the histamines) depends on the state of your microbiota and gut health so maybe take some probiotics. Hope this can help!
Thank you! That is so helpful. I heard a doctor mention that he prefers to save DAO for last - after trying other things. So I need to be more careful with this. I'll purchase some probiotics too as I haven't yet.
@@LifeDIY I could send you so many videos that I have watch on this but they are in Spanish (you might want to have a look to them with subtitles). Let me know. Connecting the dots was eye-opening to me too. I had no idea this could exist. But my body was on fire after one hour after I ate so I knew it was something (thought more of allergies) but did not know what it was. I haven't taken DAO. I just abandoned the foods that were giving me histamine high (tomatoes and eggplant were on top of the list). Knowledge can save lives and really change the course of our lives. I am passionate about information that improves our lives and I can see you are too, that's why I love your videos. Get some quercetin please (is really useful to keep in check the histamines and is anti-age substance too).
Sorry! I missed the question about Quercetin! I am taking it and I love it. It's one of my must-have supplements. I also take Turmeric as well. You're smar to fix your diet and I need to be a lot more careful with the foods I'm eating. If you have any video recommendations, I'll check them out. I can use the subtitles! Thank you. :)
@@LifeDIY Great! I am sending you in a moment. BTW, the moment you fix your microbiote your body should start producing more DAO (unless you have a genetic issue that prevents DAO from being produced in your stomach, but that is very rare). My advice is to start fixing the diet first cause there are more chances that your DAO is not being produced properly cause of the environment in your stomach lining than it being cause of a genetic issue. Sending love!
your facial proportions are so gorgeous. you look like a doll! you are so naturall beautiful

Be careful with histamine intolerance, you can go down a rabbit hole and eliminate toooo many foods. You can never have a no histamine diet. I do a moderate histamine diet.

Thank you. That sounds like good advice!
Start taking dhist before you eat and i honestly am down to about 20 foods i tolerate well it took me decades to understand what my body needed .. @LifeDIY I have this and it's never been under control the inflammation just is off the charts .

Off topic, but please consider a hair tutorial- it looks so good here! I have similar hair and never know what to do with it for styling
Thank you! I will someday. :) I need to get a bit better with styling it. This was day 2 hair and after I blow dried it, I actually did something different. I used a curling want to curl some parts of it and then I took the area I curled and rolled it with my fingers into pin curls - pinned them up. I left them up for several hours and it helped me retain the waves for longer. I hope that makes sense. If you've never done pin curls, I have a video on it. You leave them in overnight and it turns out so pretty. You don't need to use heat to do them: ruclips.net/video/gAs5Klw0M9Y/видео.html.
I think I have some of this. I think some of my issues might be from too much coffee which I've cut back because it can affect your absorption of some minerals which affects liver efficiency which in turn might make you more sensitive due to a less efficient liver function. So cutting coffee to half the amount, and taking magnesium and zinc supplement and upping vitamin D and B and will see how things go. Also had to watch the video twice because first time I was looking at your pretty face :) I also plan on cutting most of the refined sugars, grains, flours to see what happens. I already have reduced it over the years but even more is on the plans. Seed oils are already gone. Started increasing my seafood intake as well to get more omega 3.
Also I'm happy you found what was your trigger. I takes a long time for many and possibly never. I hope you continue to feel better and better!
I think I remember Michaela Peterson talking about histamine intolerance. I think that was part of her journey figuring out her diet
Highly recommend testing your home for mold. I developed major histamine problems from mold
How did you test that? What company do you use
I have histamine intolerance as well and have sinus swelling and pain. The first moment my sinuses start to hurt I start to drink water. When you have high histamine in your body, water really helps to dilute the histamine, and, of course, you will pee it out. The second thing that works phenomenally well is Alkalol Nasal wash. If I catch the pain soon enough, this should calm things down. Sometimes though, I need to do a saline nasal wash later in the day. If I am having a REALLY bad day, I also use hot compresses on my sinuses. Hope this helps!
Thanks for sharing this! I too use a saline nasal rinse when things are starting to flare up with the sinuses. I'll probably use it again today - so thanks for the reminder. It is really helpful. Also steaming can be great too.
I've been on an animal based diet for about 15 years. I have hypothyroid and it keeps me from gaining weight. But I have noticed some of your same issues too. One of the things that breaks down histamine is beef kidney. You can take as a supplement. Also, I was interested in NAD. Watched a video from this PHD biochemist that said NAD decline might be as much about the increase of an enzyme called CD38. She has a formula for boosting NAD by inhibiting this enzyme which she thinks may be increased if you supplement with NMN alone. She found dried parsley actual inhibits CD38. I've found that dried parsley helps with all the symptoms you spoke about. It stops the tinnitus and opens my sinuses again. I take about a teaspoon at a time. It probably works similar to stinging nettle which is the same plant family. Here is her video:

Avoid store bought ground beef. I was never able to connect the dots until recently. I always have get histamine reaction in form of hives on my legs and arms whenever I have ground beef or any diced meats. Another thing I found was when my glycogen stores are depleted (aka no carbs) for too long, I get histamine reactions as well. In my opinion, insulin cannot be suppressed for too long long as it plays a role in preventing catabolism. Best time of the day to trigger insulin is 12-2pm and this should be you biggest meal (with some whole foods carbs of course) and don’t worry you won’t get fat. Limit your carbs to 20g between 6-7pm. No carbs at breakfast to keep fat burning going. This is what I’ve figured out. Something else that could trigger histamine reactions is bone broth made from store bought bones, instead stick to meat broths or chicken broth made from a whole chicken. Just to add, of you are going to do ground beef, buy a whole cut and blend it yourself as well as store in the freezer after blending.
I suffer this to a chronic, pretty-much-life-wrecking-level, because It only allows me to sleep about 3-4 hours, most nights. Although that degree of severity is less an intolerance, more full blown MCAS. At least, symptomatically.
I'm sure I could offer something useful, but your question is rather open-ended - I don't know quite how to respond. And you covered some of the immediate points, such as not leaving meat to sit in the fridge, and experimenting with DAO.
I'll list some things I have learnt through research, but apologies if it's old ground for you, Holly - I know you research a lot too:
1) All sorts of unlikely things can cause histamine-release in the body, including vigorous exercise and even sex. Both are examples of things that should be relaxing, but excessive histamine-release actually raises stress levels, so things that are therapeutic to most people may leave high-histamine sufferers feeling twitchy, itchy, anxious and unwell. It sounds like your rebounding did this, although that might be because you hadn't trained for a while, so it stressed your body more than usual.
2) Histamine doesn't just build up in stored meat, some fruit and veg contains naturally high levels. Avocados are naturally high, and nuts/seeds can build up a lot of histamine because of storage - two things that I believe you like to eat.
3) Some fish are naturally high, even when fresh. Particularly sardines and mackerel. So, tinned sardines, due to storage, would be like a histamine bomb in your body.
4) Black mould-spore exposure causes BIG histamine issues, so check your house, loft and outhouses.
5) Oxalate build up in the body causes histamine issues, although they don't yet understand why.
6) Didn't you once suffer carbon monoxide poisoning? I'm wondering if a long term, downstream effect of that could be mast cell degranulation?
7) In which case, stabilizing your mast cells might help if DAO doesn't. The quercetin you took in the past would have helped with this, but I know it lowered your blood pressure. However, there are other flavanoids in the same group that are supposed to work equally well. They might be worth experimenting with. One is Luteolin (allegedly better than quercetin), not to be confused with lutein. The other is Apigenin, which can also (allegedly) improve NAD levels through a different pathway to NMN. And it can aid sleep. Kind of an interesting supplement all round if it works. Both are fat-soluble, so take with a fatty meal.
Remember, though, that a little exposure to excess histamine actually teaches our bodies how to cope, so removing it completely could be counterproductive. As always, it's all about balance.
Thank you so much. This is incredibly useful. First, I am so sorry you have MCAS. I should have mentioned it in this video. I can't imagine what you have to deal with. Thank you for mentioning the high histamine foods like avocado, nuts, etc. Those are some of my favorites and I need to take a break from them. I did not realize that sardines were really high in histamine and last night I was so hungry before bed and had nothing else, so I ate sardines. And, I had poor sleep and breathing issues. I did also purchase luteolin and I also take Quercetin daily. My blood pressure seems to be fine nowadays, so I'm back on it. Thank you also for the tip about having some exposure so the body can cope, versus over-treating.
@@LifeDIY Oops. No, sardines might not be your ideal bedtime snack. 😃 Unless you enjoy twitchy dreams of fishy congestion.
They're sooo cheap and healthy, though! Plus, they give you your calcium in the absence of dairy. It's a perfect example of how these elimination-diets can become such a nuisance. Because some of the healthiest foods on Earth are high histamine. Also the ones with the best storage properties. And you live in a cabin in the woods which probably gets snowed in at this time of year ...
You could train your devoted squirrel-tribe to go foraging, but they'll just come back with more nuts, and you can't really blame them. They're squirrels, Holly, they don't understand your complex nutritional needs. And Alvin just thinks he's a cartoon-character. He probably eats candy bars and smokes a cigar. If you ever offend him, he'll shove a stick of fizzing dynamite down the back of your pants, and then you'll find out what a bad hair-day really looks like.
It all seems to draw you inexorably back towards carnivore. But I'm not convinced that carnivore is the ideal diet for a Holly-Beth, even though it's absolutely none of my business what she puts in her tummy. It's just a feeling I got from watching your before, during and after videos, and listening to your experiences.
Having said that, Kerry is clearly thriving on it. And he looks terrific. But you may not be metabolically identical, even though you are related.
Which inspires the thought: Given that you are close in age and you are both in great shape, the similarities and differences in your diets would make for a really interesting science-experiment ...
In theory, you should get all the same benefits as Kerry does from meat, but you also get polyphenols/flavanoids/anthocyanins, along with more vitamin C and E, and less overcook from mTor and IGF spikes. If the science stacks up, your diet should really win through in the next few decades, and it will show.
Well, OK, it's a minor victory, I admit. But sisters enjoy saying things like, "I told you so," and, "If you had only listened to me ..." And then they prance around, looking smug. I know this because I have one, and she is generally right about everything.
Thank you very much ❤
Happy New Year Holly, everything of the best for you and your family. 😊
Thank you, Graham. You too! 🙏
I can relate about the itchy scalp and ears, Holly! Regular scalp massages with oils has helped me greatly regarding the scalp itching. As for the itchy ears, I totally agree, it’s the most annoying thing ever. I suffered with it for many years. Thankfully it's better now. I still get occasional dry flaky skin in my ears, but it’s not that bad. Nothing like the annoying incessant itching that I suffered with before…Sadly I don’t think I can confidently pinpoint what improved the itching...My guess is, I now eat “healthier foods” (who knows?), I exercise more than I used to, and I upped my vitamin intake.
Interesting that you mentioned you had reactions after using your vibration plate. I used to get rashes or hives sometimes after using mine. I found staggering my time on it helped reduce that problem. Funnily enough I’ve had the plate for donkey's years, and only decided to get it out of the loft a couple of months ago...Thought it would be a great thing to do during the winter months. Sadly I haven’t motivated myself to even use it once yet :) Would love to hear if you get past your problems on your vibration plate.
I have sinus issues as well, but thankfully they don’t last…I hope your sinus issues are fleeting, and clear up quickly.
Thanks, Joe! You should dust off the vibration plate and try it out again. :) I am sure I will get past these issues. Lately things are getting better with the issues becoming more sporadic. I just need to be more careful with things for a little while.
I really should start using it. I remember feeling more flexible after using it before. It’ll be good for my golf swing ;)
I’m gathering from what you said about your itchy ears that it’s not a permanent thing? I hope that’s the case. I used to get a lot of ear infections due to poking and prodding my ears. Wishing you all the best Holly. These issues can be so frustrating.
I've been dealing with extremely high histamine levels since the COVID Pfizer vax. High histamine foods trigger a severe allergic reaction of congestion, coughing and runny nose for hours.
I am so sorry to hear that! Have you found anything that helps?
@LifeDIY thank you so much. I have not found anything other than reducing my intake of high histamine foods. I think I am going to go see an Alergy Specialist
This is sooooo interesting! I am looking forward to the video about the comprehensive test. Is it something you can do at home? given that a blood draw (?) is involved.
I had something similar when I was doing a elimination diet. Whe. I added yams and sweet potatoes and it went away.
Super interesting! Thanks for sharing this. I am glad to hear it went away. I am working on adding more into my diet, yet it's a slow process for me.
@@LifeDIYjapanese purple sweet potatoes are a good choice because the anthocyanin in it is good for the bones, too
I found your video is very informative. About 3 months ago I struggled with IBS n that was why I tried to eat more ground meats to help me with my digestion. Then one night, not sure exactly when I started to have some rash around my neck. Then I thought it was sth from I bed so I have been washing bed blankets, pillow cases, etc very often or put them in the sun whenever possible. My rash problem gradually has turned to hives so bad that I had to used zertec. Hives only attack me at night then but now i have some rash here n there during day time too. I started to keep a food diary but it drives me crazy since I can not figure out what are the triggers when I checked the food i had with the high histamine food list. Also I don't have hives every night. Definitely eliminate ground meats from now on. I recently bought a bouncer too but I don't use it everyday. Glad you mentioned about your bouncer. I'm trying vitamin D, B complex n Zinc at the moment . Thanks a million for your video n everyone 's comments. It's so great. Wishing 🙏 you all the best❤
I'm also experiencing a bit itchy eyes only, not sure if it's allergy...
How did you get diagnosed with histamine intolerance? I've had a lot of those symptoms for many years, presumably relating to Crohn's disease which I was diagnosed with 30+ years ago. Although I found I was also allergic to dust later. Nearly all of the symptoms went away after surgery, and a bucket load of supplements targeting inflammation.
Sorry to hear you had these issues too. It's good to hear that most of the symptoms went away after surgery. With my recent issues, I haven't been officially diagnosed. I have a pretty good integrative health doctor and I may chat with her about it coming up. I know sometimes people are referred to immunology/allergy for these issues and can be diagnosed that way. I am trying to visit with doctors less nowadays so it's not really a priority for me to get diagnosed. I'm hoping to get everything under control asap. I've noticed the changes I'm making are helping, though it's pretty up and down still.
@@LifeDIY Good luck with it - the journey to finding what works can be so frustrating.
@LifeDIY It actually sounds more like MCAS (Mast Cells Activation Syndrome). I personally went on carnivore diet because of the histamine intolerance issues and got better 99% of the time. Still have histamine symptoms if I consume egg-yolks or casein a few days in a row. However, after 1.5 years of carnivore (2 months ago) I started to have a very bad sleep, exactly as you described in your previous videos. This is how I have found your channel. This is weird :S ... I will be watching your progress.
PS: the DAO supplements did not seem to work for me ... nevertheless I use to wash the meet to avoid as much histamine as possible in the diet
Thanks for sharing this. I am so glad to hear your issues improved on carnivore! My symptoms are currently better but I am sure it will fluctuate. When you had histamine issues did they flare up at times and then go away? That's what seems to be happening. But, maybe the extra supplements are helping. I'm avoiding the high histamine foods too. I am trying not to take DAO too much, but I've been taking digestive enzymes and stinging nettle at times - plus vitamin C 2x a day and occasionally taking a beef organ supplement. Since adding all these things in and being more careful, I am currently not having the symptoms - which is nice. I am so sorry you're dealing with the sleep issues. There are so many variables involved - it is so tough to figure it out. I would experiment. It's also a hard time of year right now as some people just don't get a lot of sun - depending on where you live. I think that could be part of it.
Your not alone , many people have or had a somewhat lesser histamine intolerance , due many factors , low dao , gut issues , environmental triggers , go on a meat based , eating mostly ground beef maybe even experimenting wjth bone broth , get reactions they arent used to , me personally my symptoms were to hard to manage while on a carinvore diet , many ignore their symptoms for quite a while , in hopes that they will become adapted or some other reasons why they have this symptoms , will settle in by time , some people experience relief with patience , sadly for others the opposite.
Yeah I think some people stick it out when suffering because many people online will say that it's just a healing process or you'll be fine soon, etc. but I know some people really struggle and for some, it just doesn't work. Since posting this video, I've made a few changes (with food handling and what I'm eating & supplements which I've added in) and it's already under control again. I know it can fluctuate and happen again at any time, but so far so good. I'm trying to avoid high histamine foods before bed especially, and eating a bit less bacon and ground meat. :)
I connected the dots last summer and I started to treat this histamine issues. I believe I have had them all my life but I things got more serious on the summer 2024 when I started having skin issues, my skin was just inflamed and pink and heat all over. Before that, I had been for one year having shitti sleep and waking up at night to scratch my skin. Now is under control cause I take foods that don´t trigger this histamine issues. Also, the moment I get a bit more anxious, depressed, emotional...those issues come back. Also, when I do a lot of sports...I believe many, many people are having this and they don´t know so they keep hurting themselves.
Thank you so much for sharing this!
Omg, I never thought this could be a thing but it has happened to me.
I would at least try a different meat or diversifying of multiple farms. Organic does not mean that their soil contains all the micronutrients. Animals from one farm can be too low or too high in this and animals from another farm can be the same in other things. Also, I think its a good idea to take some multivitamin from time to time and minerals. Meat or not, almost everything is depleted of micronutrients and full of chemicals, these days - its in the air, in the water and organic farms are not isolated from it. I see no point in waiting for some deficiency or for an accumulation of some specific poison from a specific meat/farm/area.
@@thriving_mjn Great advice! Thank you. I do take a multivitamin 3-4x a week. I finally got sick of eating the same thing so I am changing things up and eating more of a variety. I buy from a few different places but I am looking for more options.
I have histamine issues and started taking all the recommended supplements, including making my own copper liquid from copper sulfate crystals. I feel like the copper is helping me more than anything. I do really well as long as I don’t eat high histamine foods. I Hope things get better for you.
Thanks for sharing this. I hope things continue to get better for you too.
Any opinion on transdermal copper?
@@vgloveforlife I haven’t heard of that. I’ll do some research
Dairy seems to create histamine issues for me. When my histamine builds up, I have found taking various levels of Niacin flushes out the histamine. Currently, I dissolve 1 gram Niacin under my tongue and then swallow it to release the histamine. For me, the histamine release works faster on a empty stomach.
Hi. You just described symptoms of perimenopause.
Thanks for your comment! It's true that some symptoms of histamine intolerance can overlap with perimenopause, like fatigue and insomnia. Although histamine intolerance is more specific and often includes symptoms like itching, sinus issues, congestion, digestive problems, etc., which aren’t really typical of perimenopause. It's complicated and I am sure the only way to know about any of this for sure is through labwork. I'm going to try to get some done soon.
Omg I have the same itching sensation on my vibration plate. The absolute most time I can do on it is 10 minutes, otherwise I want to scratch my legs and thighs until a rash forms. This happens to me when I run or walk too briskly. Lucky for me, I don’t actually enjoy running so I haven’t put a lot of effort into demystifying this. But I remember reading that it was a genetic thing. If you want to use your rebounder, vibration plate, or run you can micro dose it working up to more minutes and stopping each time right before the itching starts. I had to do this when I naïvely signed up to play soccer. If I didn’t Run around the block to condition myself a few time prior to games I would be an itching mess on the field. You have to condition your body so that the sensation is not new and uncomfortable each time.
Also fyi I don’t have histamine issues. I’m actually a vegetarian 😆 who sometimes eats fish.
Thank you for sharing this! I'm not alone. :)) I know what you mean about getting that type of rash from running also. I can also get it from really cold weather. That's helpful to know about microdosing it. That's so interesting to hear that your body acclimated better with some conditioning. My issues are currently so sporadic and sometimes I have them and others I don't. I am sure it'll get better soon. I just hope the sinus problems improve too.
@ yes, walking in cold weather is another one that causes this sensation for me too. And it’s quite hilarious when I try to explain it to someone because you sound like such a freaking lazy princess trying to explain this to a friend. “I can’t run because my body starts itching and I definitely can’t run or walk in cold weather because my legs get an allergic reaction” Lmao 🤣 I am cracking up even writing this
Hahaha too funny! 😊 So few people understand the struggle! :) You're basically allergic to running.
I apologize for changing the subject
This pertains to Dr Paul Anderson and Methylene Blue you posted a comment and am wondering if you’ve had any findings/results in the testing?
Thanks and I Appreciate you!
Thanks for the comment! I am still working on it! I'll most likely post updates on my website lifeanddiy.com and reddit www.reddit.com/user/LifeandDiy/ first before posting a video on it here. Do you have any particular products you want tested or that you buy? I will probably end up creating a crowd-funding campaign to pay for the tests. I posted about it here: www.reddit.com/r/methylene_blue/comments/1hnrdhl/any_interest_in_3rd_party_lab_testing_crowdfunded/ and you can see details about the lab testing/pricing.
@ thank you and I appreciate you quick response and comments.
Will check out the latter link you posted and see what I may find (in my many products) for you to test.
One question;
Do you test products such as, magnetic eye lashes? Recently, I bought some on the internet and now I have them in my possession, but hesitant to use them, as my eyes are very sensitive.
Am I on the right track with “the testing aspect” of your comment?
Thank You and have a GREAT day! ☀️
HRT causes histamine issues. Specifically estrogen. But, failing natural estrogen causes copper dysfunction and histamine issues as well. A cup of soymilk daily has greatly reduced all these issues for me!! I went off of hrt, it was a nightmare!
Look up ceruloplasmin and estrogen.
Only have noticeable problems with "histamine foods" when something else are going on like pollen allergies. Its like the system overloads.
Most likely, for me the food are not the main problem.
Yeah, that makes sense. I have something similar.
I can relate. Sneezing fits after eating and general congestion, sinus and chest, off and on. Mostly on. Curious to see if any of the supplements work for you. And how your testing comes out. And yes, I'm 98% carnivore.
We sound pretty similar with these issues. I will definitely update with the results. You can see a sample test report or get more info here: bit.ly/3DJvmHV.
@@LifeDIY Thanks.
ground beef, egg and bacon YUM!!!!
Do you think you'll stop carnivore/ ketovore?
I'm still going to eat really low carb. I've noticed that these histamine issues really fluctuate and even since doing this video, the issues are under control now. I know this can change from week to week, but the changes I've made (adding in some extra supplements) and being a bit more careful about ground beef (not eating leftovers as often) has really helped so far. Since having these issues flare up, I did stop eating as much ground meat and have been making roasts (chuck roast) in a pressure cooker and so far, that's helped too. So, I do like eating ketovore/keto and will stick with it. :)
@LifeDIY Wow! That's amazing! Thanks for sharing!
If I haven't used it in a while, I'll get itchy when I use a vibration plate, but then my body adapts to it after a few days of use.
@@stuartist Thanks! That's good to know.
💯💯💯💯💯
Don’t you need hair for a heavy metal test ?
Well, I did a hair analysis test for heavy metals many years ago. But, this Metabolomix test has it as an add-on option and they use the urine sample to test for the heavy metals.
Beef is aged meat and have more histamine because of that, lamb is better it's not aged as long as beef.
The best DAO supplement i found is Naturdao 3 000 000 they make a huge different for me, much better then Daosin and Dao food and the Naturdao 1 000 000 tablets did not help at all.
Mikhaila Peterson had problems with histamine because of all the beef so she was eating more lamb instead and then she started taking DAO and if i remember correctly she could eat beef again, i remember she said DAO made a huge different, she talks about this in one of here videos.
Thanks for sharing this!
I have always had sinus issues throughout the year. I am highly sensitive to dust and probably always will be. When I fall ill, it severely affects my sinuses. Unexpectedly, when I started the autophagy diet, my head cleared up. I speculate that I had a lot of inflammation in my sinuses and ear canals, and since then, I have experienced much clarity. This year, illnesses have been mild in terms of my sinuses. However, if I sneeze excessively, I take Benadryl to reduce the histamine levels. Overall, I believe that the cellular renewal process from the autophagy diet reduced the inflammation in my sinuses and ear canals, which was a wonderful relief.
Thanks for sharing this. Really interesting! I know about autophagy from fasting, but haven't heard of the autophagy diet. What does that involve?
@@LifeDIY I read the book "How Not to Age" and followed the diet outlined in it. There is also a book titled "How Not to Diet" that contains the same material on autophagy. I didn't expect that my sinuses would clear up so much or realize that I had that much inflammation in my head. Here is a sample day of eating: breakfast - bran cereal and fruit; lunch - all my protein for the day; dinner - salad and beans. Two key supplements are black cumin and spermidine. It is recommended to eat in the order of king, queen, pauper. I still recommend reading the books as they contain a lot of good modern information, and the doctor/author is quite a unique character.
Have you tried quercetin? It helps with this histamine issues too. Also, avoid histamine trigger foods too of course (you have the list on a simple Google search). BTW, you are taking DAO, I read about it and I refused to take it cause I am working on this so that my own body produces DAO (I read it´s better). The amount of DAO you produce (that eventually is keeping on check the histamines) depends on the state of your microbiota and gut health so maybe take some probiotics. Hope this can help!
Thank you! That is so helpful. I heard a doctor mention that he prefers to save DAO for last - after trying other things. So I need to be more careful with this. I'll purchase some probiotics too as I haven't yet.
@@LifeDIY I could send you so many videos that I have watch on this but they are in Spanish (you might want to have a look to them with subtitles). Let me know. Connecting the dots was eye-opening to me too. I had no idea this could exist. But my body was on fire after one hour after I ate so I knew it was something (thought more of allergies) but did not know what it was. I haven't taken DAO. I just abandoned the foods that were giving me histamine high (tomatoes and eggplant were on top of the list). Knowledge can save lives and really change the course of our lives. I am passionate about information that improves our lives and I can see you are too, that's why I love your videos. Get some quercetin please (is really useful to keep in check the histamines and is anti-age substance too).
Sorry! I missed the question about Quercetin! I am taking it and I love it. It's one of my must-have supplements. I also take Turmeric as well. You're smar to fix your diet and I need to be a lot more careful with the foods I'm eating. If you have any video recommendations, I'll check them out. I can use the subtitles! Thank you. :)
@@LifeDIYBe sure to purchase a probiotic that is low histamine. Certain strains of bacteria are histamine producing
@@LifeDIY Great! I am sending you in a moment. BTW, the moment you fix your microbiote your body should start producing more DAO (unless you have a genetic issue that prevents DAO from being produced in your stomach, but that is very rare). My advice is to start fixing the diet first cause there are more chances that your DAO is not being produced properly cause of the environment in your stomach lining than it being cause of a genetic issue. Sending love!
