At 62 years old, I have had severe allergies/asthma my entire life. A year ago, I changed my WOE to ketovore/carnivore to lose weight, and amazingly, 99% of my allergy/asthma symptoms went away. I went from taking multiple prescriptiion Reactine, asthma inhalers, nasal sprays, and prescription eye drops daily to needing none of them in less than a month. This has continued now for over a year and, in that time, I have only needed the medications less than half a dozen times. This was such an awesome and unexpected victory for me, aside from losing 75 pounds too!!!
@shahad3463 Always SAD, with very heavy carb addiction. I was diagnosed with multiple allergies, including foods like dairy, bananas, chocolate, citrus when I was 14 and did strict avoidance of those, as well as allergy shots for over 11 years for environmental, some of which improved and many more got worse. Once I cut out everything besides meat for over a month, my allergies cleared right up for the most part. Now I can easily tell, when I eat a small amount of some veg, or sometimes even a spice used, as I will have a reaction within 10 minutes of eating and will take 3-4 hours to go away again, if it is from a food. Most of the environmental have also improved to the point I need no meds on a regular basis as I did for over 45 years.
How did you feel in the beginning of the diet? I tried it for a week and I felt horrible - fever, headache etc. I assume it would get better if I kept going.
Dizziness/light headedness, itchy skin, tinnitus here. Dairy is a huge trigger for me. Since 6 months I have been supplementing with DAO which had proven to be a lifesaver for me.
I absolutely hate it when my nose runs when I'm eating. Thanks for letting me know why this happens. Thank goodness this only happens once every other day as I practice ADF.
I think I always had Histamine intolerance but since taking HRT my symptoms have got alot worse...which makes sense re: oestrogen levels. Anyone else had the same? Great video...thank you Kait.
Great video. I am really surprised that you didn't mention hives. I've been getting all the symptoms and full body giant hives the size of up to a foot long and half a foot wide. Breathing problems is another. 😊 Thanks for the idea of DAO. As other antihistamine supplements stopped working including over-the-counter ones.
Wow! This dug up a whole pile of issues that I've never considered! When I was on a carnivore diet, I would experience minor issues when I ate shellfish. But when I started adding things like avocado, cheese, yogurt, kefir, 100% cacao, mushrooms, and nuts I would experience issues like runny nose, gut aches, and occasional diarrhea. I don't add a ton of these things, but now that I think about it, on days when I have multiple items in these categories, I experience the most distress. It has been a mystery to me, but now it all seems to make sense thanks to this information.

I stumbled upon this video. I think I may have a histamine intolerance. I also have issues with insulin resistance. I started Intermittent fasting and keto (but clean keto) months back and started having flushing, rapid heart rate, high BP. Now it seems I have food sensitivity. I can eat something and I get a burning sensation in my chest and the need to go to the bathroom and my heart will go up. I did a bulletproof coffee months ago and my heart rate was up the entire day. I went to the ER thinking I was having a heart attack. Cardiologist ruled my heart is in great condition. I have digestive issues and have incorporated goat's milk kifer, kimchee, green smoothies, but I notice when I started taking collagen I notice a mucus buildup, even with a bone both protein powder. I eat avocado and spinach every day. So now I have to try a low histamine diet.
Thank you Kait, been waiting for a video on histamines for quite a while, I have seen a few, but none cut it as good as yours, and this video was very well done and wonderful explanation. If you have more on histamines down the track, or more new findings, please let us know. I get a runny nose occasional, been trying to track it down. I can now go back over all my data and have a better idea what to look for, although I mainly only eat different types of meat, cheese, eggs, little else. I thought one part it could be cheese. I eat some cheese occasional. It can't be eggs, I did suspect eggs. I am wondering if burnt steak, or the charred parts slightly burnt but nice could be doing it, the carbon. That is not all the time, either, but will take more notice. Kind regards, Dennis. Oh yes, thanks to information on DAO
I experienced something that cuased me to have the symptoms last year after multiple bug bites. My histamine levels were too high for too long and I developed a mast cell reaction with itchy bumps. The only thing that worked for me were the dao pills/histamine block from amazon and going on a low histamine diet. Then the hives & itching finally went away for the most part. I figured out it is also linked to my liver issues and I was low in vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D, & B
My skin feels itchy, in a prickly way. There is a new itching hive on my leg, yesterday it only itched without the hive. Last night my years old tattoo started to itch, skin peeling a bit. All of this started when I was basically eaten alive by mosquitos; the bites itched for way too long, and would only stop with antihistamine.
I spent years trying g to figure out the connection between my food related symptoms and the food. I finally settled on tyramine being the culprit. I don't know if tyramine is a histamine, but after Journaling for a year I reached the conclusion that most of the same things mentioned here are also high in tyramine AND gets higher the older the food. So, about 15 years ago I started freezing all leftover meats, fish, and beans to stop the growth process. Also, fruits have to be eaten as close to just ripe as possible, as they too trigger symptoms as they overripe. There's more, but this comment box is only so big😊
🙋♀️ I started experiencing crazy symptoms when I turned 40, which ironically was after I'd been taking oregano oil for bronchitis. I was unaware oregano oil acts as an antibiotic in that it wipes out the good & bad bacteria. It took me years to figure out it was a histamine intolerance. As I'm improving gut biome, the histamine intolerance issues aren't as bad. But what was also compounding the issues, was I was eating smoothies that had every high histamine food: banana, strawberries, spinach!
I also loved all the high histamine foods. Bananas, eggplant, spinach, legumes, vinegars, tomatoes. My list can go on and on. I really had to change my diet
Oh my goodness, thank you for sharing. I developed a histamine intolerance, I've been taking oregano oil for h pylori and candida. It helps with my infections but I've been suspecting it's been wiping out some good bacteria unfortunately. I always felt like histamine intolerance shouldn't be a permanent thing, but some people make it sound like it's forever. I have a hard time believing it's incurable! You gave me some more hope 😊
Wow! I started having problems during menopause. My closet is full of Dr. Meds that didn't work. I started eliminating foods. Discovered spinach, cinnamon, (excessive pineapples, strawberries, avocados), cow milk, almond milk, anything with maltodextrin, dextrose, stevia would make me congested or feel awful.
I love watching your videos, they are so informative and you are very knowledgeable. Keep up the great work you’re doing because all of us subscribers really appreciate you
Hey! Hi! Interesting, because I get a runny nose after eating very hot spicy food. Any relation (chili peppers), or a totally different thing? Nothing else causes the symptoms you mentioned. Take it easy.
I'm on a seven day trial on baking soda 1 teasp. 1/2 cup water ,drink fast one whole clove I chew up quickly ..I really thought maybe I was going to die before this,..was so embarrassed to go any where could not breathe inhaler was not working anymore. Today is day 4 of this stuff I'm taking and I made it through work without coughing my lungs out...just wanted to share..
What a timely video. I have always had a runny nose while or after eating....thought it was just me. After returning from the UK I immediately began breaking out in rashes with hives. Was prescribed a antihistamine. Helps some but still having that rash/hive issue. Will need to take a deeper look at my diet.
This is the first I have heard of this. I am sick to death of all the allergies, and I used to brag about how they would go away when I'm near a beach or snow (both of which are rare; I'm in west TN). Now, at 64, my nose runs 24/7, and I thought it was because I put cheese on everything, and eat yogurt, ice cream, and (drink) milk. I have never heard any of what you just said, but you named my favorite foods (bananas, walnuts, citrus). This is horrible news, because these are the few foods I am not allergic to (apples make my throat itch and swell). I feel like I cannot eat anything now. I am soooooo tired. 😢
A rash is also a very good clue for histamine intolerance. Besides a horrible, painful, rash, I have sleeplessness, fatigue, gut problems, heartburm/indigestion, anxiety.
Thanks for this video. I have ALL of these symptoms. I have had high blood pressure my entire life. Doesn't matter if I am taking medication, "healthy diet," losing weight it always remains elevated to me and my doctor's dismay. I want to give this histamine diet a try and see what the results are because I am truly suffering.
Hi 👋🏽… Aha! She finally did it!! 😊. I was hoping you would. You forgot about hives. While continuing to do some more much needed homework, I came across leaky gut and histamine issues/intolerance are closely related. Makes a lot of sense to me. I’ve watched a few videos on here from a few functional medicine M.D.’s. They were speaking of using the five R’s. An elimination diet is in order for yours truly 😢. Chamomile tea helps a lot with the itching as does Marshmallow Leaf tea. The amino acid L-Glutamine is supposed to be very effective. It will help repair the “junctions” of the small intestinal wall.
I have suffered for 50 years and now realise the cause. Sadly my 9 yr old has it severely but even the hospital consultant didn’t have a clue of the cause. It’s taken 8 years of researching to find the cause. I’m convinced it was the prescription formula she was put on as a newborn because she wasn’t feeding and became so poorly
Good morning Kait, from the uk. Thankyou so much for this video - very enlightening. I woke up night before last with face on fire, peeling skin, swollen eyes and tongue larger than usual. Am on an immediate quest to rationalize a keto diet with this new information of histamine intolerance. The first 24 hours I have been concentrating on reversing - based on cutting out the foods you mention. And it has worked - but what can I eat - is there any way of rationalising the two things - Im stumped - please help. Again - Thankyou so much. Margot, Bath UK.
Always got hives from cold exposure especially if I had consumed a lot of citrus drink. Sometimes the hives would be severe on my face during cold. But the joints would be covered with itchy hives, if I was exposed to cold weather.
Hello Kait, thanks for all your hard work. Very helpful. I have had histamine intolerance for one week. I knew what it was immediately. It began with loss of balance… horrible. I went to ear cleaning wax removal nurse. She said the ear drum was bulging out because of mucus build up behind it. I have every symptom you mention except headaches plus gallons of sneezing and constant stinging pre-sneeze. Also very dry mouth and dry lips. I am carnivore so histamine meats are all I eat. Lots of slow cooked frozen meats. It is very problematic for me. I can try to get fresh meat but somehow doubt it’s possible. I am 0mad. Had lunch 2 hours ago. Stomach is rumbling and gurgling around like mad. I think alternate day fasting would help. Am very disappointed to add this to my seven (7) other autoimmunes.
Try taking a dao enzyme helped me out and keep looking deeper for root cause of your gut or body your body can heal🙌 just have to stay patient and listen to it
@@BrandonDeBonis thanks I will try that Dao enzym. Never heard of it. Thanks for you reply and interest. I am in Australia and some things not available here. Yes I am aware of body signs. Will do some more research. Same reason for much of my troubles. Gut.
Does taking DAO eliminate histamine intolerance or is it lifetime? I was listening to Tammy Peterson, wife of Jordan whose husband and daughter eat only beef but she discovered she had histamine intolerance which when she described her symptoms I realized my decades of runny nose, rash in skin folds, etc might be.
Hi Kait. Thanks for the great videos. Do you know anything about mast cell activation syndrome and if the principles you teach would assist in the management of this condition.
Any suggestions on how to get off of OTC antihistamines? My dr told me years ago to take one. It was really just a dairy allergy and I’ve cut it out 100%, but now I can’t stop taking the OTC loratadine without horrible withdrawal symptoms.
Interesting- I was given estrogen - after menopause. Seems it was incorrect amount so it caused hyperplasia. I also developed some histamine response during this. Mild on my test; caused minor nasal drip. Amazing bodies we have. Thanks for the info!
I suffer from this and I've heard good things about quercetin, i haven't tried it yet but limiting gluten and sugar seems to be helping,i will be ordering quercetin
Can acne be caused by histamines? I wish i knew... i would gladly trade acne for some diarrhea or something else. At least then my symptoms wouldnt be all over my face for the world to see
💊 Histamine intolerance is the body having too much histamine built up. 💊 Reasons for histamine intolerance include inadequate DAO enzyme production, certain medications, GI disorders, and consuming histamine-rich or DAO-blocking foods. 💊 Common symptoms of histamine intolerance include runny nose, headaches, nasal congestion, irregular periods, digestive distress, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, high blood pressure, and stomach cramps. 💊 Histamine-rich foods to avoid include fermented foods, aged cheeses, alcohol, smoked foods, dried fruits, canned foods, pork, shellfish, avocados, eggplants, and spinach. 💊 Foods that trigger a histamine response include tomatoes, bananas, wheat, beans, citrus fruits, certain nuts, and food dyes. 💊 Eating fresh foods, incorporating DAO-containing foods or supplements, and reducing histamine buildup can help manage histamine intolerance. 💊 While there is no cure, many people experience significant improvement in symptoms by increasing DAO and reducing histamine levels. bit.ly/ActionPillsYT
Hey kait is there anything sour people with high histamine levels can eat. I love sour yogurt but react to it. I love lemons, apple cider vinegar oranges etc but with histamine usses unable to tolerate much. Also any subs for tomatoes and peppers ? Ive got long lasting gut issues, and other dietary restrictions and now due to extrmely high histamine levels im reacting to most foods but would love some substitute alternatives. Thanks
I wonder if antibiotics in early childhood could be the cause. I was born with strep (very common in the last bit if pregancy) and had many ear infections until age 7 (antibiotics stopped working) Going down a dun rabbit hole after a runny nose from my first bit of bread in a month. And a migraine i suspect to be the doing of an avo…
Histamine intolerance is a complex issue. So i developed this because of an allergen in my room but also because of constant antibiotics. The antibiotics killed of some of the good bacteria from the colon, this in turn made the bad bacteria to proliferate (which converts histidine to histamine). Stress didn't help and with elevated histamine absorption you develop leaky gut and maybe Sibo or Sifo. Avoiding high histamine foods is just a temporary solution, not viable in the long run cuz it will cause deficiency. THE ONLY WAY IS TO RESTORE THE BALANCE IN THE COLON. Fixing leaky gut with glutamine and zinc is another big thing. This is going to take a while but fixing these 2 issues will solve most of the problems and will boost the immune system, which is about 80% in the intestines. I think people should take a dysbiosis stool test every 2 or 3 years especially if they are sick a lot or have chronic stress.
Hi Kait. I made reuteri yogurt and then reuteri sauerkraut. It was amazing for me--I loved it. But my BP went scarily high, so I had to stop. I wonder if it was a histamine reaction, although high BP is my only side effect. Very disappointing; I wish I could eat the reuteri.
what if i get wicked hay fever and I don't fall into any of those categories you mention? That is, I suffer from seasonal pollen intolerance. How do I get rid of the build up of histamine in my body from that?
I wouldn't fret after I heard, and experienced avacados are injected with something so they wont rot a fast as usual. I had one in the refrigerator over a week and i cut it open, preparing for the worst, and it was Perfecto! Which, caused me to remember what I heard. Sorry, i do not recall the process name.
I had homemade kefir every day for over a year and noticed that it started making me cough. Stopped for a bit and tried again and it still made me cough, so haven't taken it for quite a while now. Maybe I'll try it again and see.
The annoying thing is the grains like to be fed constantly. My kefir grains are huge and they've been growing for years. I had a break from kefir and kept them in the same milk for a few weeks and now they seem to have lost some of their fermenting power.
@@carl8568 Yeah, 2-3 weeks is the longest you should leave them in the same milk (and it should be a lot of milk, like a liter/quart) because they eat up all the lactose and then have nothing to eat. They may come back to life after a few batches though.
Kait, would like your opinion on some things. I try to intermittent fast every day, noon to 8PM. I also just watched the "8 drinks" video. Here goes: one of my health issues is intermittent kidney function reduction, so my doc wants me to drink LARGE amounts of water(90 oz per day or more). I do. My question is - can I combine my water with MCT oil, electrolytes & ACV?? Too much? OK? Do not suffer from headaches, exhaustion and/or tiredness. Try to walk 3 miles every day, even rain. I do not want to 'over do' anything. Thanx. Realize this is not the appropriate video, but know you are very busy & unsure how far back you go to check for questions.
Is Histamine linked to pcos I get triggered after eating quite often. I’ve also had Candida. Please could you do a video on how to treat Candida. Since taking wild caught marine collagen peptides it has eased but not sure if it’s linked.
Dr stephen cabral (naturopath) talks a lot about h pylori, candida, sibo and parasites. He has a candida protocol, I just ordered it so I can't speak to it but might give you a direction to look into!
i have has nothing but sinus issues since taking the MRNA Vaccine i do have HP that got worse as well had numerous sinus and ear problems last December mid January I woke up with tinnitus went to a ENT Doctor was told nothing wrong with me and age related hearing for the tinnitus I think I have MAST CELL HISTAMINE heard quercetin helps as a antihistamine and vitamin C
Heart palpitations - I regularly consume cheeses of all kinds, pickles, bananas, tomato, canned tuna, kombucha, kefir 🤦🏻♂️ looking like a diet overhaul is in order.
I had to add a comment about a symptom of high blood pressure. I am convinced that is one of the reasons I have it. I told this to my doc and his comment "If you say so.," I'm subscribing! But I have to point out that vegetarians aren't eating any meats, so those recommendations don't suit everyone. I keep editing! In the video you mentioned heart palpitations. Can HI give one an abnormal EKG?
Histamines are in EVERYTHING!!! INCLUDING YOUR BODY!! YOU can NOT LIVE without histamines. It is about YOUR body's ability to process and control the "needed" amounts in YOUR system. I have drank a gallon of REAL cow's milk nearly EVERY day for my entire life. At 64 years of age, I still have NO PROBLEMS with dairy.....and ate FRESH vegetables IMMEDIATELY from the garden. Meat ..."grass fed"
at last, you discussed this very issue of histamine intolerance and I found out I have one or two of these symptoms. So now I know foods to avoid and foods that help to improve my histamine problem. by the way what else is good to take to increase DAO?
I do turn red, and it burns and prickles too like being stuck with pins all over. Flushing is listed as a symptom in some other places. You are not alone.
@@HealthCoachKait I have congested dry nose that becomes runy, watery very often, but not the other symptoms but also rhinitis and sneezess. But antihistamines sometimes do nothing for me. Don't know what is happening.

I eat avocado and spinach every day. So now I have to try a low histamine diet.
Thank you Kait, been waiting for a video on histamines for quite a while, I have seen a few, but none cut it as good as yours, and this video was very well done and wonderful explanation. If you have more on histamines down the track, or more new findings, please let us know. I get a runny nose occasional, been trying to track it down. I can now go back over all my data and have a better idea what to look for, although I mainly only eat different types of meat, cheese, eggs, little else. I thought one part it could be cheese. I eat some cheese occasional. It can't be eggs, I did suspect eggs. I am wondering if burnt steak, or the charred parts slightly burnt but nice could be doing it, the carbon. That is not all the time, either, but will take more notice. Kind regards, Dennis. Oh yes, thanks to information on DAO
Hello Kait! Such a great topic on Histamine Intolerance!
🥰🥰
I can hardly eat anything. I get terrible headaches my whole life. Im convinced it all has to do with my gut. Thank you. Any other suggestions thanks?
I experienced something that cuased me to have the symptoms last year after multiple bug bites. My histamine levels were too high for too long and I developed a mast cell reaction with itchy bumps. The only thing that worked for me were the dao pills/histamine block from amazon and going on a low histamine diet. Then the hives & itching finally went away for the most part. I figured out it is also linked to my liver issues and I was low in vitamin C, zinc, vitamin D, & B
My skin feels itchy, in a prickly way. There is a new itching hive on my leg, yesterday it only itched without the hive. Last night my years old tattoo started to itch, skin peeling a bit. All of this started when I was basically eaten alive by mosquitos; the bites itched for way too long, and would only stop with antihistamine.
*WOW rashes or itchiness is not even on your list!*
I spent years trying g to figure out the connection between my food related symptoms and the food. I finally settled on tyramine being the culprit. I don't know if tyramine is a histamine, but after Journaling for a year I reached the conclusion that most of the same things mentioned here are also high in tyramine AND gets higher the older the food. So, about 15 years ago I started freezing all leftover meats, fish, and beans to stop the growth process. Also, fruits have to be eaten as close to just ripe as possible, as they too trigger symptoms as they overripe. There's more, but this comment box is only so big😊
Everything was fine until I took apple cider vineger for my stomach problems and allergies start to come back like migrane , running nose etc 🙃
🙋♀️ I started experiencing crazy symptoms when I turned 40, which ironically was after I'd been taking oregano oil for bronchitis. I was unaware oregano oil acts as an antibiotic in that it wipes out the good & bad bacteria. It took me years to figure out it was a histamine intolerance. As I'm improving gut biome, the histamine intolerance issues aren't as bad. But what was also compounding the issues, was I was eating smoothies that had every high histamine food: banana, strawberries, spinach!
I also loved all the high histamine foods. Bananas, eggplant, spinach, legumes, vinegars, tomatoes. My list can go on and on. I really had to change my diet
Oh my goodness, thank you for sharing. I developed a histamine intolerance, I've been taking oregano oil for h pylori and candida. It helps with my infections but I've been suspecting it's been wiping out some good bacteria unfortunately. I always felt like histamine intolerance shouldn't be a permanent thing, but some people make it sound like it's forever. I have a hard time believing it's incurable! You gave me some more hope 😊
Wow! I started having problems during menopause. My closet is full of Dr. Meds that didn't work.
I started eliminating foods.
Discovered spinach, cinnamon, (excessive pineapples, strawberries, avocados), cow milk, almond milk, anything with maltodextrin, dextrose, stevia would make me congested or feel awful.
I’m in perimenopause and this all started about 6 months ago;
I love watching your videos, they are so informative and you are very knowledgeable. Keep up the great work you’re doing because all of us subscribers really appreciate you
Hey! Hi! Interesting, because I get a runny nose after eating very hot spicy food. Any relation (chili peppers), or a totally different thing? Nothing else causes the symptoms you mentioned. Take it easy.
I'm on a seven day trial on baking soda 1 teasp. 1/2 cup water ,drink fast one whole clove I chew up quickly ..I really thought maybe I was going to die before this,..was so embarrassed to go any where could not breathe inhaler was not working anymore. Today is day 4 of this stuff I'm taking and I made it through work without coughing my lungs out...just wanted to share..
What a timely video. I have always had a runny nose while or after eating....thought it was just me. After returning from the UK I immediately began breaking out in rashes with hives. Was prescribed a antihistamine. Helps some but still having that rash/hive issue. Will need to take a deeper look at my diet.
Please test for food intolerance and according to the levels decide what to reduce or eliminate completely.
This is the first I have heard of this. I am sick to death of all the allergies, and I used to brag about how they would go away when I'm near a beach or snow (both of which are rare; I'm in west TN). Now, at 64, my nose runs 24/7, and I thought it was because I put cheese on everything, and eat yogurt, ice cream, and (drink) milk. I have never heard any of what you just said, but you named my favorite foods (bananas, walnuts, citrus). This is horrible news, because these are the few foods I am not allergic to (apples make my throat itch and swell). I feel like I cannot eat anything now. I am soooooo tired. 😢
Use Nasal Steroid by GSK brand for 3months..first thing in morning
Then drink Vit C and Quercetin plus Bromlein( Now brand )
Hi Kait 😁👋
Awesome information thanks
🥰🥰
A rash is also a very good clue for histamine intolerance.
Besides a horrible, painful, rash, I have sleeplessness, fatigue, gut problems, heartburm/indigestion, anxiety.
THANK YOU!! I have heard a little here and there about this, but you hit the nail on the head here!! I appreciate you so much!! ❤🤗🙏
💛💛
Thanks for this video. I have ALL of these symptoms. I have had high blood pressure my entire life. Doesn't matter if I am taking medication, "healthy diet," losing weight it always remains elevated to me and my doctor's dismay. I want to give this histamine diet a try and see what the results are because I am truly suffering.
Hi 👋🏽… Aha! She finally did it!! 😊. I was hoping you would.
You forgot about hives. While continuing to do some more much needed homework, I came across leaky gut and histamine issues/intolerance are closely related. Makes a lot of sense to me. I’ve watched a few videos on here from a few functional medicine M.D.’s. They were speaking of using the five R’s. An elimination diet is in order for yours truly 😢. Chamomile tea helps a lot with the itching as does Marshmallow Leaf tea. The amino acid L-Glutamine is supposed to be very effective. It will help repair the “junctions” of the small intestinal wall.
@HealthCoachKait what does Red light therapy do for a Histamine intolerance? You linked it.
I have suffered for 50 years and now realise the cause. Sadly my 9 yr old has it severely but even the hospital consultant didn’t have a clue of the cause. It’s taken 8 years of researching to find the cause. I’m convinced it was the prescription formula she was put on as a newborn because she wasn’t feeding and became so poorly
Good morning Kait, from the uk.
Thankyou so much for this video - very enlightening.
I woke up night before last with face on fire, peeling skin, swollen eyes and tongue larger than usual. Am on an immediate quest to rationalize a keto diet with this new information of histamine intolerance. The first 24 hours I have been concentrating on reversing - based on cutting out the foods you mention. And it has worked - but what can I eat - is there any way of rationalising the two things - Im stumped - please help. Again - Thankyou so much.
Margot, Bath UK.
Kait, your hair looks beautiful 💖🙄👌
🥰🥰
Always got hives from cold exposure especially if I had consumed a lot of citrus drink. Sometimes the hives would be severe on my face during cold. But the joints would be covered with itchy hives, if I was exposed to cold weather.
Hi Kait, Thank you for the information.🙏 Yes I have some of the signs.

Hello Kait, thanks for all your hard work. Very helpful.
I have had histamine intolerance for one week. I knew what it was immediately. It began with loss of balance… horrible. I went to ear cleaning wax removal nurse. She said the ear drum was bulging out because of mucus build up behind it. I have every symptom you mention except headaches plus gallons of sneezing and constant stinging pre-sneeze. Also very dry mouth and dry lips. I am carnivore so histamine meats are all I eat. Lots of slow cooked frozen meats. It is very problematic for me. I can try to get fresh meat but somehow doubt it’s possible. I am 0mad. Had lunch 2 hours ago. Stomach is rumbling and gurgling around like mad. I think alternate day fasting would help. Am very disappointed to add this to my seven (7) other autoimmunes.
Try taking a dao enzyme helped me out and keep looking deeper for root cause of your gut or body your body can heal🙌 just have to stay patient and listen to it
@@BrandonDeBonis thanks
I will try that Dao enzym. Never heard of it. Thanks for you reply and interest. I am in Australia and some things not available here. Yes I am aware of body signs. Will do some more research. Same reason for much of my troubles. Gut.
Sorry too many restricted foods but appreciate the good research up front 😊 maybe include enzyme supplements and certain probiotics ❤
The best way to reduce histamine is through foods, not supplements lol
@@ic3482 which foods pls
Does taking DAO eliminate histamine intolerance or is it lifetime?
I was listening to Tammy Peterson, wife of Jordan whose husband and daughter eat only beef but she discovered she had histamine intolerance which when she described her symptoms I realized my decades of runny nose, rash in skin folds, etc might be.
Hi Kait.
Thanks for the great videos.
Do you know anything about mast cell activation syndrome and if the principles you teach would assist in the management of this condition.
Your content is always interesting Kait, nice work!
💚💚
Any suggestions on how to get off of OTC antihistamines? My dr told me years ago to take one. It was really just a dairy allergy and I’ve cut it out 100%, but now I can’t stop taking the OTC loratadine without horrible withdrawal symptoms.
Hi Kait I enjoy your video's.I hope you have a great week.
💛💛
Reasons / categories also include genetic variants associated with a reduced ability to break down histamines.
I've been seeing more and more that you can get rid of the histamine intolerance if you treat the core problem.
Hey kait keep up the good work, your simply beautiful thank you.
I just heard of this for the first time last week. Very interested and im wondering if i may hsve it. Thank you for doing this video

Interesting- I was given estrogen - after menopause. Seems it was incorrect amount so it caused hyperplasia. I also developed some histamine response during this. Mild on my test; caused minor nasal drip. Amazing bodies we have. Thanks for the info!
Thank you for your video. How can you tell if you have histamine intolerance or mast cell activation syndrome? Thanks.
Can i eat kidney after cocking on high flame? It will still have dao effect after cooking? Because raw kidney i could not eat. Kindly reply
I suffer from this and I've heard good things about quercetin, i haven't tried it yet but limiting gluten and sugar seems to be helping,i will be ordering quercetin
Can acne be caused by histamines? I wish i knew... i would gladly trade acne for some diarrhea or something else. At least then my symptoms wouldnt be all over my face for the world to see
💊 Histamine intolerance is the body having too much histamine built up.
💊 Reasons for histamine intolerance include inadequate DAO enzyme production, certain medications, GI disorders, and consuming histamine-rich or DAO-blocking foods.
💊 Common symptoms of histamine intolerance include runny nose, headaches, nasal congestion, irregular periods, digestive distress, fatigue, irregular heartbeat, dizziness, high blood pressure, and stomach cramps.
💊 Histamine-rich foods to avoid include fermented foods, aged cheeses, alcohol, smoked foods, dried fruits, canned foods, pork, shellfish, avocados, eggplants, and spinach.
💊 Foods that trigger a histamine response include tomatoes, bananas, wheat, beans, citrus fruits, certain nuts, and food dyes.
💊 Eating fresh foods, incorporating DAO-containing foods or supplements, and reducing histamine buildup can help manage histamine intolerance.
💊 While there is no cure, many people experience significant improvement in symptoms by increasing DAO and reducing histamine levels.

The body can heal from anything🫡 😊
Hey kait is there anything sour people with high histamine levels can eat. I love sour yogurt but react to it. I love lemons, apple cider vinegar oranges etc but with histamine usses unable to tolerate much. Also any subs for tomatoes and peppers ?
Ive got long lasting gut issues, and other dietary restrictions and now due to extrmely high histamine levels im reacting to most foods but would love some substitute alternatives.
Thanks
I wonder if antibiotics in early childhood could be the cause. I was born with strep (very common in the last bit if pregancy) and had many ear infections until age 7 (antibiotics stopped working) Going down a dun rabbit hole after a runny nose from my first bit of bread in a month. And a migraine i suspect to be the doing of an avo…
Hello Kait Interesting video lots to think about=)
💚💚
Histamine intolerance is a complex issue.
So i developed this because of an allergen in my room but also because of constant antibiotics.
The antibiotics killed of some of the good bacteria from the colon, this in turn made the bad bacteria to proliferate (which converts histidine to histamine).
Stress didn't help and with elevated histamine absorption you develop leaky gut and maybe Sibo or Sifo.
Avoiding high histamine foods is just a temporary solution, not viable in the long run cuz it will cause deficiency.
THE ONLY WAY IS TO RESTORE THE BALANCE IN THE COLON.
Fixing leaky gut with glutamine and zinc is another big thing.
This is going to take a while but fixing these 2 issues will solve most of the problems and will boost the immune system, which is about 80% in the intestines.
I think people should take a dysbiosis stool test every 2 or 3 years especially if they are sick a lot or have chronic stress.
Hi Kait. I made reuteri yogurt and then reuteri sauerkraut. It was amazing for me--I loved it. But my BP went scarily high, so I had to stop. I wonder if it was a histamine reaction, although high BP is my only side effect. Very disappointing; I wish I could eat the reuteri.
Can makeup products and shower products trigger histamine sensitivity?
yes, anything that goes inside or outside your body can
what if i get wicked hay fever and I don't fall into any of those categories you mention? That is, I suffer from seasonal pollen intolerance. How do I get rid of the build up of histamine in my body from that?
My lifelong, vicious hay fever went down 90% when I stopped eating all grains!
Avocado with eggs is my favorite meal. But now I understand why I have the worst symptoms after eating that. The avocado....ahh such a bummer.
Yes same and I just bought like 10 of them 😢
I wouldn't fret after I heard, and experienced avacados are injected with something so they wont rot a fast as usual. I had one in the refrigerator over a week and i cut it open, preparing for the worst, and it was Perfecto! Which, caused me to remember what I heard. Sorry, i do not recall the process name.
Thanks , big daddy Joe Harley 😍
I always had number 3. I remember every time I had any Asian food or alcohol. My nose would get so stuff up. I kept Afrin in my pocket always
That's all the food I love....what do I eat now?😊😊😊
How do you test for it ? Or just treat based on symptoms?
But how to u know if you have histamine resistance or an allergy?
I had homemade kefir every day for over a year and noticed that it started making me cough. Stopped for a bit and tried again and it still made me cough, so haven't taken it for quite a while now. Maybe I'll try it again and see.
The annoying thing is the grains like to be fed constantly. My kefir grains are huge and they've been growing for years. I had a break from kefir and kept them in the same milk for a few weeks and now they seem to have lost some of their fermenting power.
@@carl8568 Yeah, 2-3 weeks is the longest you should leave them in the same milk (and it should be a lot of milk, like a liter/quart) because they eat up all the lactose and then have nothing to eat. They may come back to life after a few batches though.
How common is it to have both histamine and alcohol intolerance? Are they related?
Hi def have dizziness I now know I also have histamine resistance.
I have really bad vertigo esp after I eat something hot
Kait, would like your opinion on some things. I try to intermittent fast every day, noon to 8PM. I also just watched the "8 drinks" video. Here goes: one of my health issues is intermittent kidney function reduction, so my doc wants me to drink LARGE amounts of water(90 oz per day or more). I do. My question is - can I combine my water with MCT oil, electrolytes & ACV?? Too much? OK? Do not suffer from headaches, exhaustion and/or tiredness. Try to walk 3 miles every day, even rain. I do not want to 'over do' anything. Thanx. Realize this is not the appropriate video, but know you are very busy & unsure how far back you go to check for questions.
You can combine your water with those things 🩷 It’s not too much!
Is Histamine linked to pcos I get triggered after eating quite often. I’ve also had Candida. Please could you do a video on how to treat Candida. Since taking wild caught marine collagen peptides it has eased but not sure if it’s linked.
Dr stephen cabral (naturopath) talks a lot about h pylori, candida, sibo and parasites. He has a candida protocol, I just ordered it so I can't speak to it but might give you a direction to look into!
Hey
Wait I have to sneeze Ok Great info as usual Nice color shirt Hop youre enjoying your holiday Minus the RAIN Cheers Anthony
Very interesting video. Are there studies showing that kidney supplements produce a similar result to eating kidney?
Kidney supplements are just desiccated. It is as if you are eating the kidney.
good video thank u
i have has nothing but sinus issues since taking the MRNA Vaccine i do have HP that got worse as well had numerous sinus and ear problems last December mid January I woke up with tinnitus went to a ENT Doctor was told nothing wrong with me and age related hearing for the tinnitus I think I have MAST CELL HISTAMINE heard quercetin helps as a antihistamine and vitamin C
i identify as a woman and have never had an irregular cycle. I am histamine intolerant. is that norma
Heart palpitations - I regularly consume cheeses of all kinds, pickles, bananas, tomato, canned tuna, kombucha, kefir 🤦🏻♂️ looking like a diet overhaul is in order.
Are bone broth protein powders high in histamines?
Yes
I had to add a comment about a symptom of high blood pressure. I am convinced that is one of the reasons I have it. I told this to my doc and his comment "If you say so.," I'm subscribing! But I have to point out that vegetarians aren't eating any meats, so those recommendations don't suit everyone. I keep editing! In the video you mentioned heart palpitations. Can HI give one an abnormal EKG?
Histamines are in EVERYTHING!!! INCLUDING YOUR BODY!! YOU can NOT LIVE without histamines. It is about YOUR body's ability to process and control the "needed" amounts in YOUR system.
I have drank a gallon of REAL cow's milk nearly EVERY day for my entire life. At 64 years of age, I still have NO PROBLEMS with dairy.....and ate FRESH vegetables IMMEDIATELY from the garden. Meat ..."grass fed"
tachycardia was one of my main histamine symptoms and, after 30 years, its now gone!!
Will raw goat milk help with this?
at last, you discussed this very issue of histamine intolerance and I found out I have one or two of these symptoms. So now I know foods to avoid and foods that help to improve my histamine problem. by the way what else is good to take to increase DAO?
Kidney, they have it in pill form.
What are other DAO foods
Everything that I eat on the regular is on the naughty list. I don't know what I'm supposed to eat now.
My face turns bright red, dr is checking for a histamine problem. Do people get red too? TIA
I do turn red, and it burns and prickles too like being stuck with pins all over. Flushing is listed as a symptom in some other places. You are not alone.
It’s called rosacea
It’s called a reaction to increased histamine. Not same as rosacea
@@ic3482 Oh, interesting that it's not rosacea!
omg, it's basically my diet minus alcohol 🤯😵
It’s only an issue if you have an intolerance
@@HealthCoachKait I have congested dry nose that becomes runy, watery very often, but not the other symptoms but also rhinitis and sneezess. But antihistamines sometimes do nothing for me. Don't know what is happening.
A video made for my mom! How did you know 😌😏
😌😌
Ugh-avocado does this to me!🤧
Oh sheet, I just made up a huge ass jar of kimchi and that stuff is not so easy to make. Looks like it might have to sit in the fridge for a while.
Can you list prebiotic and prebiotic that are histamine friendly?
Seeking Health has a specific low histamine probiotic product
Sachromyces boulardii
Will drinking plenty of water flush out hisstamines?
No
