I have been depressed and anxious for a long time, but while taking the probiotic my condition worsened, and I had chronic fatigue that lasts for several days, so I stopped taking the probiotic and my condition improved. I tried many kinds of probiotics during 5 years and every time i experience same symptoms. I don’t know why??
@@said0757 Hi Said, sometimes probiotics introduce more histamine to your gut, and this can absolutely affect mental health symptoms. Histamine is one of our neurotransmitters. For example, if I take Rx antihistamines, I will become downright suicidal. It's possible that different types of probiotics might be tolerable for you, such as saccharomyces boulardii or a soil-based probiotic. Sometimes, we need to introduce supplements very slowly to give our body time to adapt, as well. Thanks so much for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition thanks for your response🙏🏽 could you recommend good type or brand of probiotics that suitable for my case? What do you think about lactic acid free probiotics?
@@said0757 Probiotics aren't like medications, and we rarely need to get super specific with them. I suggest a general strategy of using one high quality probiotic from each of 3 categories...I discuss more in this video: ruclips.net/video/DBFCiFbG-3Y/видео.html
@@ConfluenceNutrition have you heard of smidge sensitive probiotic? What are your thoughts on that and do you know anything about those strains? I want to take a probiotic to fix my gut Microbiome but also help my skin and I try taking it back in July a very small amount and seemed triggered like itchy. I’m not sure if that’s a normal reaction.
Yeah I started taking probiotics about 4 days ago and the itchiness/lethargy/sleepiness started right away. After ruling out other factors I started searching and came to this video and it certainly makes sense now. I’ll stop taking them and will start looking for other alternatives without the histamine reaction. Thanks!
A big thank-you confirming what I found out stickly by accident. I had been experiencing severe eczema for the past 6 months with no relief in sight. Arizona low histamine diet but still nothing was helping. I ran out of my probiotics and I wasn't able to get to the store and it's at that point when I noticed the eczema starting to clear! I have been taking probiotics for the past six years! You confirmed what I had already figured out in my head. Thank you so much for your dedication to this work
I have been taking two fork fulls of Sauerkraut with dinner to help my digestive issues. I've started getting headaches which get worse each day, nausea, cramping, diarrhea, and huge waves of random anxiety and panic. It's been terrifying and stopping me living life normally. Adding Sauerkraut to my diet is the only thing I've changed in the last couple of weeks so I think this may be what I'm expecting but I not having itching or those kinds of symptoms 😩 I have stopped eating Sauerkraut now so I really hope I feel normal again soon it's been so scary the physical feelings. I had a similar reaction taking the probiotoc alflorax years ago but I never really made the connection between probiotocs and such a severe physical and mental reaction Thanks for this video!
Hi Tinyboots, itching and hives aren't the only histamine reactions possible from high histamine foods like sauerkraut. Certainly nausea, headaches, and anxiety are all common as well. SIBO is a common underlying issue with these symptoms, but not the only possible one. The trick is worknig through the possible options to figure out where you can get the most traction. If things don't resolve from removing the sauerkraut, you may need to investigate deeper. Thanks so much for watching, and I'm glad the video was helpful!
I thought it was an anxiety attacks until I invigated the ingrediants in the probiotics I was taking. I also thought it was coffee and I stopped drinking that. Thanks for the info.
Thank you you have just confirmed that I'm having a severe histamine response to a new introduced probiotic I had no idea what was wrong with me and now I do thank you
I have been dealing with whole body itching and body breaking out into hives and rashes. My scalp is itchy and inflamed ever since I started using Super Greens probiotic. I’ve been to an allergist and dermatologist several times looking for answers. Initially, doctors were saying probiotics should be fine, but my body has never had this issue before and it’s the only thing I’ve added new to my routine. I’m now trying to clear my body, but my symptoms are still present. My dermatologist said it could take 6 to 8 weeks before it clears my system and returns to normal. I initially started this journey to get healthier and I’ve really debilitated myself. I wish I would have done more research before diving in. I’m so thankful for these videos bc I didn’t know what was wrong for a long time. All I was told over and over was how great probiotics are and no one seemed to know this other dark side to probiotics. But, any advice on how to quickly clear my system?
Hi Heather, thanks for watching. Some probiotics do seem to trigger a histamine problem, most often its the lactobacillus-bifidobacteria blends. Saccharomyces boulardii or soil-based probiotics are less likely to do so and can also help repair your gut. A low histamine diet can also help, as well as vitamin B5 and B6 and DAO enzyme, which helps you break down histamine. Binders, like GI Detox (clay and charcoal) can sometimes help, too. Ultimately, repairing the dysbiosis that may be triggering the ongoing problem is important, or sometimes, the underlying trigger is a mold problem in your home or office. But start with a low histamine diet an those supplements to calm down inflammation and get a handle on things.
@@mindful__gardener Sometimes it does, as the probiotics help shift your gut microbiome. Or if your diet, or antimicrobial treatment help shift the environment in your gut, you can eventually tolerate them. Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition thanks alot for the great advice ... what is the dose for charcoal powder ? I used 1/2 tea spoon of charcoal with 1 glass of water ? What u think ? And i also do coffee enema twice a week ? As I have severe constipation
@@thestar2565 Hi, thanks for your question. 1/2 tsp charcoal sounds like kind of a lot...I usually use no more than 2 capsule's worth at a time. I would consider 1/2 tsp a one-time dose in a very acute situation. This could itself be constipating if too much or too frequent. Capsules on an empty stomach first thing in the morning or evening is a longer term dose, at least an hour away from other food and supplements. But even this dose can rob your body of important nutrients if constant. And if you are continually needing this dose to maintain your symptom relief, this is a sign that larger issues need to be dealt with. Does that help? Thanks for watching!
I started taking advanced probiotic prebiotic formula after 3 months of long covid... 2 month in in noticed insane tender scalp along the hair line... when I ignored these headache I'd get histamine overload IBS symptoms for 5 days... stopped taking the pro biotic and am 50% better. I forsure caused a overgrowth or an imbalance. Hoping that 2 weeks of antibiotics will bring things back to a normal level.
Hi Amanda! I just watched your video on Probiotics and Histamine Intolerance. I definitely think this is what is causing my reactions and looking at the Probiotic that I have been taking for the past year, all of the species that trigger a histamine reaction are in the ingredients list!!! ugh!! My questions are - 1. How long will it take for my body to rid itself of these species? 2. When should I start taking the probiotic that you recommend? Thank you, Tina
Hi Tina, nice to meet you. The length of time to recover, or rather re-form your inner microbiome, depends on your specifics. Most often, it seems to take my clients 3-12 months, depending on a lot of factors. And to answer your second question, you may find that most probiotics are irritating, many with histamine intolerance have trouble in general with probiotics. So you'll test them very carefully to make sure they're working for you. What makes the difference here is using the right strategy to get the results you want. Would it be helpful if you knew how to do this?
This is spot on for me. I’ve only been able to tolerate spore probiotics & Ben Lynch’s antihistamine probiotics. Just started saccharomyces boulardii yesterday but I think it’s causing low level histamine reaction. I have an intolerance to yeast so I’m thinking it may be because it’s yeast based. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Anyone may react to anything, and sometimes we don't know why. I have definitely seen clients respond poorly to Sacc. B, though it seems to be one of the least reactive types. In any case, if you respond poorly to something, that's a reason to stop, for sure! Thanks for watching.
I started taking a custom probiotic blend from a company called Custom Probiotics at a very low dose containing B. Longum and B. Breve. The company advertises itself as producing very potent probiotics. I started have bloating, gassiness, and changes in stool after taking them. I don't think it's a histamine issue as those two strains are supposed to be histamine-safe. Are you familiar with this company? I'm wondering if I should keep trying to take it. My naturopath suggested trying it every other day. Do these sound like normal reactions? Maybe it's too strong for me or maybe it's a side effect of positive changes in my gut. I'm taking strains that I found I was deficient in after taking a gut microbiome test. I was treating for SIBO for a while and now I'm trying to heal my leaky gut and digestion.
Hi Howard...this can definitely happen with any probiotic... sometimes it's a short term side effect of the shift in the microbiome, and sometimes it can be a reaction to additives or the strains of probiotic themselves. I think your Naturopath's advice to reduce the dose for a while is a good suggestion. You can either open the capsules and take half or quarter, and slowly work back up to the full dose, or take some every other day. And if you continue to have side effects from the probiotic after say a week to 10 days, then I would listen to your body's feedback and try a different product. Since this is a lacto-bifido type, i might suggest trialing the saccharomyces boulardii or a soil-based probiotic instead. Thanks for watching!
Took Olly Probiotic for three days. Started wheezing, skin flared up, and itchy all over. My stomach feels good, and I’ve loss 5 pounds water weight, but not worth the reaction.
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm just wondering what other non-medicinal ingredients should I look out for? Could you let me know their exact names? I want to avoid them because I started having some skin issues.. as well as bloating and lower ab pains prior to skin issues... so I've been searching for a solution. Thanks!
Hi there, it's difficult to answer your question, because it's so individual for everyone, but things like prebiotics (chicory, FOS, GOS, inulin, etc.) could flare things up, as well as probiotics, but there is a huge long list. Citrus could be a trigger. Chocolate. Eggs or eggwhites. Etc. You can download this histamine food list here: confluencenutrition.com/histamine Thanks for watching!
This video was very informative. A few months ago I started taking probiotic supplements and it caused me stomach and intestinal issues that lasted for weeks! The bloating was aweful, passing stool was painful. Parts of my bowels were sensitive for weeks. Now I understand why I was also sneezing so much. I won’t be taking any probiotics again.
Hi Shany, I'm sorry you had that experience! It's actually a clue that your gut bacteria are imbalanced, and ironically, the right probiotics might help, but you might need some other supports first. Did you start trying probiotics because of a gut problem, or just to generally help your gut? Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition The supplements were gifted to me, that's why I started taking them. I would rather eat more sauerkraut and yoghurt, than try supplements again. Or, do you have any other suggestions?
@@Shany87 sauerkraut and yogurt are both fermented foods and can also aggravate a histamine problem, but see how YOU tolerate them. If they feel ok, it's ok to keep them in your diet. HOwever, you should know that they have a lot less probiotic content than the supplements. What brand and product of probiotics were you using? Sometimes, it's additives in the product that trigger more symptoms.
In my opinion (and in my case) the best option is to buy a probiotic that contain ONLY bifidobacterium species + add another one with saccharomyces boulardii + a good soluble PREbiotic (guar gum for example). My histamine reactions went completely away in first few weekes after starting this type of pro/prebiotics.
Hi Max, I'm so glad you found the magic combo that uniquely suits you! It may or may not work perfectly for other people with similar symptoms, but this puts a lot of great principles to work: bifidobacteria and saccharomyces are often less reactive, and the guar gum is often helpful too. Great work! And thanks for watching, too!
Hi Max, that’s great that this works for you. Those seem to be strains that I can handle. I’m already on a saccharomyces boulardii probiotic. I’m having a hard time finding a probiotic that contains only bifidobacterium species. Do you mind sharing the one you were on?
@@jolene8497 I have used this probiotic from several companies : swanson, aliness, medverita, seeking health (btw also their probiotic with only bifidobacterium strains is the best of the best) I have also used one brand that I think is only available in Poland, the probiotic is called Enterol and it is a drug with proven effects, not a supplement.
Yep. I am pretty positive I have histamine intolerance and my functional medicine doctor has had me on Ortho Molecular 225 for a month. I’ve had swollen eyelids, a swollen lip, all sorts of things. I just realized it has L. casei in it and notified him. Ended up buying Microbiome Mojo & Bifido Maximus from Gut Institute and am really curious to see what this shift does for me. Also about to try Histamine Block Plus from Seeking Health.
I have seen some advice saying that the histamine reaction is actually just bad bacteria die off. That you should try and push through it. What are your thoughts about this? Are die off symptoms the same?? Are we giving up too soon?
It can be due to histamine, but it can also be due to fillers or prebiotics in the probiotic capsules. These can also be aggravating. Do you know which brand you've been reacting to?
Holy crap, it took me years to figure out that my probiotics were causing my histamine intolerance. I was having panic attacks, nausea, insomnia and joint pain. I tried Kombucha a few times and thought I was dying!
Wow, yes! It's not an uncommon thing, but is uncommon knowledge. I'm glad you figured it out, and can manage it accordingly. Thanks so much for watching!
What if you’re reacting to the histamine degrading strains and neutral strains? I have tried single strains and also bifido only strains and s boulardii and I have the same histamine reactions to them.
I started drinking kefir a week ago and kept feeling really hot like overheating and a feeling like i haveto take deep breathsand feelijg dizzy. I stopped after reading earlier about histamineand tooka benadryl. How long does it usually take to clear out? Im hoping justa few days
Hi Lianne, this will partly depend on whether you are eating other foods that are flaring you. But it should calm down relatively quickly if the main culprit was the kefir, and you are removing that. Thanks for watching!
I’ve never had allergic reactions growing up. Within the past 8 months I’ve broke out into hives three different times. The first time I’m assuming was from spoiled raw unpasteurized milk, the second time I’m almost sure was from benefiber, a prebiotic powder and yesterday I broke out into hives after eating the keto pancake mix from a brand called “ketoandco”. I also used this maple syrup with the pancakes called rxsugar which is a zero carb maple syrup. I’m trying to narrow down what’s causing this but I honestly have no clue. Do you have any idea what may be causing it?
Without knowing more about the ingredients of the various products you mentioned, its difficult to know, but I suspect there are probably high histamine ingredients, like in the keto pancake mix...likely almonds, or often, there are prebiotic ingredients in keto foods, like inulin, or GOS. Or, as with the prebiotics, they are feeding the "wrong" bacteria, and that is increasing histamine. Sugar alcohols, like xylitol and erythritol are often used as sweeteners in keto, sugar free, and diabetic friendly foods, but these sugar alcohols are high FODMAP, and can also increase symptoms.

If not, I do my best to make a referral for you. You can book that call at confluencenutrition.com/contact. I hope to meet with you soon!
I was feeling great after 3 months vegan having lost 30lbs in that time. I decided to start taking a probiotic and within 12 hours my throat was itchy and the next morning my gums were swollen between my teeth. They bled excessively to the point I was suctioning it out with my tongue and and spitting it out. It also took me from positive and upbeat to depressed. The third effect was acne breakouts on my cheeks and decloté. I quit taking it and the bleeding trickled down to a minimum but I'm still recovering. I'm going back to less cooked food and more raw to see if I can restore what I had.
Yikes, that is a really strong and clear reaction, which highly indicates a histamine, or other kind of immune reaction. Do listen to your body's feedback! Thanks for watching!
It sounds like your body is giving you feedback that either the types of probiotics aren't right for you at this time, or the amount is too much. You could try titrating more slowly, or backing off on the amount you're using.
Hi Manuelle, if you create an account on my supplement dispensary, you can order there, though I believe you can just order on Amazon as well. My dispensary is at this link: us.fullscript.com/welcome/confluencenutrition Thanks for watching!
Hi Sonia, this can depend on a lot of factors...many probiotics contain PREbiotics, and these can encourage bacteria that produce histamine. You may also just not tolerate the specific probiotics. It could also be that your histamine "bucket" (cumulative load) was maxed out at that time, and the probiotics tipped the scales. Hope that helps.
How do I know if I’m having a Herx reaction or histamine intolerance reaction to probiotics? I have significant intestinal issues and histamine intolerance. In the past, I always assumed I was having a herx reaction but the symptoms were so severe that I always had to discontinue the probiotics. I constantly have itchy ears itchy throat, sinus issues, etc. When I take any Lacto probiotics, even in the tiniest amounts, I get severe stomach cramps, my entire body hurts, my head hurts, my blood pressure plummets, I have vasovagal episodes, and I am hunched over in pain for 1-30 days, depending on the amount of probiotic I had. I need to know which issue it is so I can plan for my next steps.
I been taking natures bounty probiotic 10 for about a month after a long antibiotic treatment what made me stop the antibiotics is I’m itching horribly I stopped the probiotics about 2 weeks ago any suggestions on when the itching will subside?
@@ConfluenceNutrition 2 or 3 days before my antibiotic was done I started itching but I was also taking probiotics to counteract the antibiotics but after I finished my probiotics I was still itching so I recently stopped my probiotics about a week ago but I’m still itching and getting red welps just wondering how much longer I’m gunna be itching
@@dustinmallett1703 It's common for antibiotic treatment to allow yeasts and candida to flare, which can cuase itching, and sometimes following up with beneficial yeasts (saccharomyces boulardii) or antifungal treatment from your doctor can be helpful. Hope that helps.
I feel so sleepy when I take probiotics and not that great I recently found Molkosan it's prebiotic I found it to be amazing for me like I go regularly and less bloating but I feel heaviness in my eyes and don't sleep well so sad because I know this product is going to heal my gut any suggestions to deal with this
Hi Lindy, well, it's possible you don't tolerate that particular prebiotic well, even though it's helping with your gut symptoms, and a different one would help without the side effects. Check the label, and see if you can find a different brand with a different active ingredient and test it out. THanks for watching!
I ate a pound of sauerkraut from the vegan section of the grocery store because I thought it tasted good. Ended up with diarrhea. A week later I noticed I had eczema. A month later I took antibiotics for a bronchitis infection. The eczema got much worse afterwards . Have not been able to figure out a way to resolve this.
Hi Joshua, there can be many reasons for your eczema, but the good clue you're clear on is the initial trigger, the sauerkraut. This suggests, as you suspect, that your symptoms started there. Have you done any gut testing, like for SIBO or stool tests?
@@woodfloorsjohnny It certainly can make you itchy. As a fermented food, it can aggravate a histamine intolerance, which commonly causes itching. This is definitely a sign to slow down or avoid it. THanks for watching!
Hi! I don't remember exactly which bacteria they had in it, but definitely the lactobacilus kinds. I have IBS, so I wonder if it also contained some extra ingredients like FOS that caused the reactions.
@@niveaschnizler3060 yes, possible. But even so, it seems that the lacto bifido blends are most likely to trigger reactions for people with IBS or histamine intolerance. Good for you for listening to your body!
Amanda I developed histamine intolerance after having COVID and now the symptoms besides havin gastritis, leaky gut and maybe SIBO I also have an hernia in the stomach. For whatever reason I’ve been losing a lot of weight without reason and nor dieting so you can help Ime with and advice I will appreciate it and thank 😂
Hi Sirena, sounds like you are ready for some help with figuring out what to eat and how to resolve your symptoms...is this something you are interested in focusing on right now?
@@ConfluenceNutrition I don’t why I am losing weight without a reason I know I am in a diet but I never missed a meal and I eat a big plate with quinoa and chicken fresh beans a 3 different kinds of vegetables that’s for lunch and dinner i eat mashed green plantain and scrambled eggs seasoned with some herbs and breakfast a big bowl of oatmeal in the middle most of the time a green juice. I am not good eating in between snacks or anything. Is not that that I want to gain weight ok is why I am losing weight no one can’t figure it out and me either and I am worried ok
@@ConfluenceNutrition Yes long time ago no gluten, dairy and and the only sweet is a little bit of raw organic honey for my tea I never drink coffee it make me sick since I can remember, my diet is the histamine diet is the one I can handle better and nothing raw all my food have to be cooked and believe or not DAO doesn’t help me either I have to take something called histamine block that’s the only one that help me if I need to eat something outside my diet
@@sirenagarrido3836 The reason I ask is that it's really common for people to lose up to 20-25 pounds when they switch to a "clean" diet. Gluten, dairy, and sugar often pad us up with excess fat and bloating, and quitting them clears all this out. The low histamine diet is rather limited and can be hard to gain weight on.
Wow, it sounds like a pretty clear indication from your body that this isn't working for you. Time to try something else, or try different probiotics! Here's my primary probiotics video to guide you: ruclips.net/video/HrYIHEp-V_8/видео.html
Hi Izati, this is definitely a question for your doctor, I'm not qualified to advise you on whether or not to proceed. Typically, the providers will ask if you know you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the vaccine, and then they monitor you for 20 minutes after the injection for any allergic reaction. Please discuss with your doctor/nurse practitioner/ physician's assistant, and thanks or watching.
Nop, I think you won't have any reactions. I have histamine intolerance and I was scared too but it didn't caused any kind of reaction. I had Urticaria last year and it wasn't going away with regular antihistamines so the doc gave me Avil+Dexona injection it cured the Urticaria but it outright affected my diaphragm, I had hiccups for like 48 hours straight. From then I'm very much cautious about any kind of injections. But you don't need to worry about covid vaccine.
I took now foods 100 billion probiotic and within a few hours I had a really bad reaction had multiple symptoms. I’ve tried it before and never had bad side effects what could be the cause?
Hi Michael, thanks for watching...100 billion is kind of a high dose, so it's possible you had a reaction due to the dose being too high too fast. If you've used the same product before without a problem, the company could have changed the formulation. Is there rice starch in the product, or do they list prebiotic fiber on the label? These can bother some people. Your microbiome may be different than when you first tried these probiotics as well, and may no longer need them. Those are some ideas...
Confluence Nutrition I Took caprylic acid 600 mg for seven days. Then a week later I try to introduce the probiotics that I’ve used to before and for some reason this time I had a really bad reaction to them.
@@michaelbernal7403 caprylic acid is an anti-candida supplement, is that why you were taking it? The balance of your gut microbiome was likely in a state of flux. OR, the probiotics themselves were helping to create the change, and this can lead to side effects like die off symptoms. If you want to keep trying those particular probiotics, try a much smaller dose and assess. If you react at any dose, those aren't right for you right now. If you're able to tolerate a lower dose, stay there for a while, and work on slowly increasing, or just stay at that level. I hope that helps!
@@patricianoll1229 My favorite tool to help narrow things down farther is a food-symptom diary. I think this might help you. I've made a video where I discuss here: ruclips.net/video/jXqid6ik_5g/видео.html
Hi Diane, there are two schools of thought about SIBO and probiotics. SOme feel very strongly that you shouldn;t include them. However, there are high quality research studies that show that people who take probiotics are more likely to succeed in sibo treatment. I think this speaks for itself, but the gold standard is always how do YOU respond? If you feel worse on probiotics, then they maybe aren't right. If you feel better on them, or don't notice anything, I think they're beneficial for your gut environment. Thanks for your question, and thanks for watching.

@@loly9388 Changing the conditions of when you took a supplement sometimes DOES change the effect, so you could try a different time of day, with food, without food, or a change in the dose, and evaluate how it affects you.

Initially, doctors were saying probiotics should be fine, but my body has never had this issue before and it’s the only thing I’ve added new to my routine.

I’m so thankful for these videos bc I didn’t know what was wrong for a long time. All I was told over and over was how great probiotics are and no one seemed to know this other dark side to probiotics. But, any advice on how to quickly clear my system?
Hi Heather, thanks for watching. Some probiotics do seem to trigger a histamine problem, most often its the lactobacillus-bifidobacteria blends. Saccharomyces boulardii or soil-based probiotics are less likely to do so and can also help repair your gut. A low histamine diet can also help, as well as vitamin B5 and B6 and DAO enzyme, which helps you break down histamine. Binders, like GI Detox (clay and charcoal) can sometimes help, too. Ultimately, repairing the dysbiosis that may be triggering the ongoing problem is important, or sometimes, the underlying trigger is a mold problem in your home or office. But start with a low histamine diet an those supplements to calm down inflammation and get a handle on things.
Will the probiotics histamine reaction stop within time. ?
@@mindful__gardener Sometimes it does, as the probiotics help shift your gut microbiome. Or if your diet, or antimicrobial treatment help shift the environment in your gut, you can eventually tolerate them. Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition thanks alot for the great advice ... what is the dose for charcoal powder ? I used 1/2 tea spoon of charcoal with 1 glass of water ? What u think ? And i also do coffee enema twice a week ? As I have severe constipation
@@thestar2565 Hi, thanks for your question. 1/2 tsp charcoal sounds like kind of a lot...I usually use no more than 2 capsule's worth at a time. I would consider 1/2 tsp a one-time dose in a very acute situation. This could itself be constipating if too much or too frequent.
Capsules on an empty stomach first thing in the morning or evening is a longer term dose, at least an hour away from other food and supplements. But even this dose can rob your body of important nutrients if constant. And if you are continually needing this dose to maintain your symptom relief, this is a sign that larger issues need to be dealt with. Does that help? Thanks for watching!
Great video! I've never seen anything on this topic.
Hi there Seeking Deeper Health, I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for watching!
I started taking advanced probiotic prebiotic formula after 3 months of long covid... 2 month in in noticed insane tender scalp along the hair line... when I ignored these headache I'd get histamine overload IBS symptoms for 5 days... stopped taking the pro biotic and am 50% better. I forsure caused a overgrowth or an imbalance. Hoping that 2 weeks of antibiotics will bring things back to a normal level.
I hope so too, and thanks for watching!
Hi Amanda! I just watched your video on Probiotics and Histamine Intolerance. I definitely think this is what is causing my reactions and looking at the Probiotic that I have been taking for the past year, all of the species that trigger a histamine reaction are in the ingredients list!!! ugh!!
My questions are -
1. How long will it take for my body to rid itself of these species?
2. When should I start taking the probiotic that you recommend?
Thank you,
Tina
Hi Tina, nice to meet you. The length of time to recover, or rather re-form your inner microbiome, depends on your specifics. Most often, it seems to take my clients 3-12 months, depending on a lot of factors. And to answer your second question, you may find that most probiotics are irritating, many with histamine intolerance have trouble in general with probiotics. So you'll test them very carefully to make sure they're working for you. What makes the difference here is using the right strategy to get the results you want. Would it be helpful if you knew how to do this?
This is spot on for me. I’ve only been able to tolerate spore probiotics & Ben Lynch’s antihistamine probiotics. Just started saccharomyces boulardii yesterday but I think it’s causing low level histamine reaction. I have an intolerance to yeast so I’m thinking it may be because it’s yeast based. Does anyone have any experience with this?
Anyone may react to anything, and sometimes we don't know why. I have definitely seen clients respond poorly to Sacc. B, though it seems to be one of the least reactive types. In any case, if you respond poorly to something, that's a reason to stop, for sure! Thanks for watching.
I started taking a custom probiotic blend from a company called Custom Probiotics at a very low dose containing B. Longum and B. Breve. The company advertises itself as producing very potent probiotics. I started have bloating, gassiness, and changes in stool after taking them. I don't think it's a histamine issue as those two strains are supposed to be histamine-safe. Are you familiar with this company? I'm wondering if I should keep trying to take it. My naturopath suggested trying it every other day. Do these sound like normal reactions? Maybe it's too strong for me or maybe it's a side effect of positive changes in my gut. I'm taking strains that I found I was deficient in after taking a gut microbiome test. I was treating for SIBO for a while and now I'm trying to heal my leaky gut and digestion.
Hi Howard...this can definitely happen with any probiotic... sometimes it's a short term side effect of the shift in the microbiome, and sometimes it can be a reaction to additives or the strains of probiotic themselves. I think your Naturopath's advice to reduce the dose for a while is a good suggestion. You can either open the capsules and take half or quarter, and slowly work back up to the full dose, or take some every other day. And if you continue to have side effects from the probiotic after say a week to 10 days, then I would listen to your body's feedback and try a different product. Since this is a lacto-bifido type, i might suggest trialing the saccharomyces boulardii or a soil-based probiotic instead. Thanks for watching!
Took Olly Probiotic for three days. Started wheezing, skin flared up, and itchy all over. My stomach feels good, and I’ve loss 5 pounds water weight, but not worth the reaction.
Hi, thanks for the video. I'm just wondering what other non-medicinal ingredients should I look out for? Could you let me know their exact names? I want to avoid them because I started having some skin issues.. as well as bloating and lower ab pains prior to skin issues... so I've been searching for a solution. Thanks!
Hi there, it's difficult to answer your question, because it's so individual for everyone, but things like prebiotics (chicory, FOS, GOS, inulin, etc.) could flare things up, as well as probiotics, but there is a huge long list. Citrus could be a trigger. Chocolate. Eggs or eggwhites. Etc. You can download this histamine food list here: confluencenutrition.com/histamine Thanks for watching!
This video was very informative. A few months ago I started taking probiotic supplements and it caused me stomach and intestinal issues that lasted for weeks! The bloating was aweful, passing stool was painful. Parts of my bowels were sensitive for weeks. Now I understand why I was also sneezing so much. I won’t be taking any probiotics again.
Hi Shany, I'm sorry you had that experience! It's actually a clue that your gut bacteria are imbalanced, and ironically, the right probiotics might help, but you might need some other supports first. Did you start trying probiotics because of a gut problem, or just to generally help your gut? Thanks for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition The supplements were gifted to me, that's why I started taking them. I would rather eat more sauerkraut and yoghurt, than try supplements again. Or, do you have any other suggestions?
@@Shany87 sauerkraut and yogurt are both fermented foods and can also aggravate a histamine problem, but see how YOU tolerate them. If they feel ok, it's ok to keep them in your diet. HOwever, you should know that they have a lot less probiotic content than the supplements. What brand and product of probiotics were you using? Sometimes, it's additives in the product that trigger more symptoms.
In my opinion (and in my case) the best option is to buy a probiotic that contain ONLY bifidobacterium species + add another one with saccharomyces boulardii + a good soluble PREbiotic (guar gum for example). My histamine reactions went completely away in first few weekes after starting this type of pro/prebiotics.
Hi Max, I'm so glad you found the magic combo that uniquely suits you! It may or may not work perfectly for other people with similar symptoms, but this puts a lot of great principles to work: bifidobacteria and saccharomyces are often less reactive, and the guar gum is often helpful too. Great work! And thanks for watching, too!
Hi Max, that’s great that this works for you. Those seem to be strains that I can handle. I’m already on a saccharomyces boulardii probiotic. I’m having a hard time finding a probiotic that contains only bifidobacterium species. Do you mind sharing the one you were on?
@@jolene8497 I have used this probiotic from several companies : swanson, aliness, medverita, seeking health (btw also their probiotic with only bifidobacterium strains is the best of the best) I have also used one brand that I think is only available in Poland, the probiotic is called Enterol and it is a drug with proven effects, not a supplement.
Yep. I am pretty positive I have histamine intolerance and my functional medicine doctor has had me on Ortho Molecular 225 for a month. I’ve had swollen eyelids, a swollen lip, all sorts of things. I just realized it has L. casei in it and notified him. Ended up buying Microbiome Mojo & Bifido Maximus from Gut Institute and am really curious to see what this shift does for me. Also about to try Histamine Block Plus from Seeking Health.
I hope the histamine block will be really helpful for you, and it sounds like you're otherwise on the right track. Keep up the good work :)
I have seen some advice saying that the histamine reaction is actually just bad bacteria die off.
That you should try and push through it.
What are your thoughts about this?
Are die off symptoms the same?? Are we giving up too soon?
I was having skin issues from probiotics with the strains you mentioned, not sure if its from histamine intolerance though.
It can be due to histamine, but it can also be due to fillers or prebiotics in the probiotic capsules. These can also be aggravating. Do you know which brand you've been reacting to?
Holy crap, it took me years to figure out that my probiotics were causing my histamine intolerance. I was having panic attacks, nausea, insomnia and joint pain. I tried Kombucha a few times and thought I was dying!
Wow, yes! It's not an uncommon thing, but is uncommon knowledge. I'm glad you figured it out, and can manage it accordingly. Thanks so much for watching!
@@ConfluenceNutrition thank u are a genius
What if you’re reacting to the histamine degrading strains and neutral strains? I have tried single strains and also bifido only strains and s boulardii and I have the same histamine reactions to them.
I started drinking kefir a week ago and kept feeling really hot like overheating and a feeling like i haveto take deep breathsand feelijg dizzy. I stopped after reading earlier about histamineand tooka benadryl. How long does it usually take to clear out? Im hoping justa few days
Hi Lianne, this will partly depend on whether you are eating other foods that are flaring you. But it should calm down relatively quickly if the main culprit was the kefir, and you are removing that. Thanks for watching!
I’ve never had allergic reactions growing up. Within the past 8 months I’ve broke out into hives three different times. The first time I’m assuming was from spoiled raw unpasteurized milk, the second time I’m almost sure was from benefiber, a prebiotic powder and yesterday I broke out into hives after eating the keto pancake mix from a brand called “ketoandco”. I also used this maple syrup with the pancakes called rxsugar which is a zero carb maple syrup. I’m trying to narrow down what’s causing this but I honestly have no clue. Do you have any idea what may be causing it?
Without knowing more about the ingredients of the various products you mentioned, its difficult to know, but I suspect there are probably high histamine ingredients, like in the keto pancake mix...likely almonds, or often, there are prebiotic ingredients in keto foods, like inulin, or GOS. Or, as with the prebiotics, they are feeding the "wrong" bacteria, and that is increasing histamine. Sugar alcohols, like xylitol and erythritol are often used as sweeteners in keto, sugar free, and diabetic friendly foods, but these sugar alcohols are high FODMAP, and can also increase symptoms.

Thank you and can I schedule to see you ?
Hi Kiriam, probiotics aren't right for everyone, even though they are often helpful for gut concerns. Above all, we need to listen to our body's feedback and use that to guide us. So if your body is giving you the message that probiotics increase your negative symptoms, that's important to listen to.
And yes, you can book a time to meet with me for a free discovery call, where I learn more about what you have going on, and assess whether I think I'm the right person to help you. If not, I do my best to make a referral for you. You can book that call at confluencenutrition.com/contact. I hope to meet with you soon!
@@ConfluenceNutrition will get in touch with you. Thank you
@@kiriamdiaz4729 Great, Kiriam, I look forward to it :)
I was feeling great after 3 months vegan having lost 30lbs in that time. I decided to start taking a probiotic and within 12 hours my throat was itchy and the next morning my gums were swollen between my teeth. They bled excessively to the point I was suctioning it out with my tongue and and spitting it out. It also took me from positive and upbeat to depressed. The third effect was acne breakouts on my cheeks and decloté. I quit taking it and the bleeding trickled down to a minimum but I'm still recovering. I'm going back to less cooked food and more raw to see if I can restore what I had.
Yikes, that is a really strong and clear reaction, which highly indicates a histamine, or other kind of immune reaction. Do listen to your body's feedback! Thanks for watching!
I've been about 5days in and I've been getting light headed. Is this normal or should I and find something without the histamine?
It sounds like your body is giving you feedback that either the types of probiotics aren't right for you at this time, or the amount is too much. You could try titrating more slowly, or backing off on the amount you're using.
How can I get an authorization code to order klair ther-biotic?
Hi Manuelle, if you create an account on my supplement dispensary, you can order there, though I believe you can just order on Amazon as well. My dispensary is at this link: us.fullscript.com/welcome/confluencenutrition Thanks for watching!
I had a horrible histamine reaction to Spore Probiotic blend but did not have one from Youtheory SBO Probiotic. Why is that?
Hi Sonia, this can depend on a lot of factors...many probiotics contain PREbiotics, and these can encourage bacteria that produce histamine. You may also just not tolerate the specific probiotics. It could also be that your histamine "bucket" (cumulative load) was maxed out at that time, and the probiotics tipped the scales. Hope that helps.
Wow thanks for that, it is very helpful!!
@@soniavasquez1081 You're very welcome :)
How do I know if I’m having a Herx reaction or histamine intolerance reaction to probiotics?
I have significant intestinal issues and histamine intolerance.
In the past, I always assumed I was having a herx reaction but the symptoms were so severe that I always had to discontinue the probiotics.
I constantly have itchy ears itchy throat, sinus issues, etc.
When I take any Lacto probiotics, even in the tiniest amounts, I get severe stomach cramps, my entire body hurts, my head hurts, my blood pressure plummets, I have vasovagal episodes, and I am hunched over in pain for 1-30 days, depending on the amount of probiotic I had.
I need to know which issue it is so I can plan for my next steps.
It sounds likely to be a histamine problem, and a severe one. Ask your doctor about evaluation for MCAS. And probably avoid probiotics. ;)
@@ConfluenceNutrition thank you for your response. I’ll do that!
@@jolene8497 You're welcome :)
Could this be happening with prebiotics too?
Hi Tommaso, definitely, for some people prebiotics aggravate histamine. Thanks for watching!
I been taking natures bounty probiotic 10 for about a month after a long antibiotic treatment what made me stop the antibiotics is I’m itching horribly I stopped the probiotics about 2 weeks ago any suggestions on when the itching will subside?
I don't really know, but I'm a little confused by your question...The itching started with the antibiotics or the probiotics?
@@ConfluenceNutrition 2 or 3 days before my antibiotic was done I started itching but I was also taking probiotics to counteract the antibiotics but after I finished my probiotics I was still itching so I recently stopped my probiotics about a week ago but I’m still itching and getting red welps just wondering how much longer I’m gunna be itching
@@dustinmallett1703 It's common for antibiotic treatment to allow yeasts and candida to flare, which can cuase itching, and sometimes following up with beneficial yeasts (saccharomyces boulardii) or antifungal treatment from your doctor can be helpful. Hope that helps.
I feel so sleepy when I take probiotics and not that great I recently found Molkosan it's prebiotic I found it to be amazing for me like I go regularly and less bloating but I feel heaviness in my eyes and don't sleep well so sad because I know this product is going to heal my gut any suggestions to deal with this
Hi Lindy, well, it's possible you don't tolerate that particular prebiotic well, even though it's helping with your gut symptoms, and a different one would help without the side effects. Check the label, and see if you can find a different brand with a different active ingredient and test it out. THanks for watching!
Thank you so much!
I was consuming wrong 😑
You're welcome! Don't worry about it, you're on the right track now!
I ate a pound of sauerkraut from the vegan section of the grocery store because I thought it tasted good. Ended up with diarrhea. A week later I noticed I had eczema. A month later I took antibiotics for a bronchitis infection. The eczema got much worse afterwards . Have not been able to figure out a way to resolve this.
Hi Joshua, there can be many reasons for your eczema, but the good clue you're clear on is the initial trigger, the sauerkraut. This suggests, as you suspect, that your symptoms started there. Have you done any gut testing, like for SIBO or stool tests?
Can Kefir make you Itchy??
Or maybe I just drank to much of it To Soon
@@woodfloorsjohnny It certainly can make you itchy. As a fermented food, it can aggravate a histamine intolerance, which commonly causes itching. This is definitely a sign to slow down or avoid it. THanks for watching!
I have reacted to probiotics, with bloating and stomachache. Not fun... I am afraid of trying anything at the moment...
Hi Nivea, yes, it's common to feel scared to try something after a reaction. WHich type of probiotics did you react to?
Hi! I don't remember exactly which bacteria they had in it, but definitely the lactobacilus kinds. I have IBS, so I wonder if it also contained some extra ingredients like FOS that caused the reactions.
@@niveaschnizler3060 yes, possible. But even so, it seems that the lacto bifido blends are most likely to trigger reactions for people with IBS or histamine intolerance. Good for you for listening to your body!
Amanda I developed histamine intolerance after having COVID and now the symptoms besides havin gastritis, leaky gut and maybe SIBO I also have an hernia in the stomach. For whatever reason I’ve been losing a lot of weight without reason and nor dieting so you can help Ime with and advice I will appreciate it and thank 😂
Hi Sirena, sounds like you are ready for some help with figuring out what to eat and how to resolve your symptoms...is this something you are interested in focusing on right now?
@@ConfluenceNutrition I don’t why I am losing weight without a reason I know I am in a diet but I never missed a meal and I eat a big plate with quinoa and chicken fresh beans a 3 different kinds of vegetables that’s for lunch and dinner i eat mashed green plantain and scrambled eggs seasoned with some herbs and breakfast a big bowl of oatmeal in the middle most of the time a green juice. I am not good eating in between snacks or anything. Is not that that I want to gain weight ok is why I am losing weight no one can’t figure it out and me either and I am worried ok
@@sirenagarrido3836 Did you recently make a switch to a "clean" diet? No processed foods, gave up gluten and dairy, and sugar?
@@ConfluenceNutrition Yes long time ago no gluten, dairy and and the only sweet is a little bit of raw organic honey for my tea I never drink coffee it make me sick since I can remember, my diet is the histamine diet is the one I can handle better and nothing raw all my food have to be cooked and believe or not DAO doesn’t help me either I have to take something called histamine block that’s the only one that help me if I need to eat something outside my diet
@@sirenagarrido3836 The reason I ask is that it's really common for people to lose up to 20-25 pounds when they switch to a "clean" diet. Gluten, dairy, and sugar often pad us up with excess fat and bloating, and quitting them clears all this out. The low histamine diet is rather limited and can be hard to gain weight on.
Started 2 days ago & I getting depression symptoms. Crying over nothing much & just feel weird etc
Wow, it sounds like a pretty clear indication from your body that this isn't working for you. Time to try something else, or try different probiotics! Here's my primary probiotics video to guide you: ruclips.net/video/HrYIHEp-V_8/видео.html
I haven't got my covid 19 vaccine yet. Is it okay if someone with histamine intolarence take the vaccine. Is there gonna be any reactions ?
Hi Izati, this is definitely a question for your doctor, I'm not qualified to advise you on whether or not to proceed. Typically, the providers will ask if you know you are allergic to any of the ingredients in the vaccine, and then they monitor you for 20 minutes after the injection for any allergic reaction. Please discuss with your doctor/nurse practitioner/ physician's assistant, and thanks or watching.
Nop, I think you won't have any reactions. I have histamine intolerance and I was scared too but it didn't caused any kind of reaction. I had Urticaria last year and it wasn't going away with regular antihistamines so the doc gave me Avil+Dexona injection it cured the Urticaria but it outright affected my diaphragm, I had hiccups for like 48 hours straight. From then I'm very much cautious about any kind of injections. But you don't need to worry about covid vaccine.

I’m late to the party but I took Megasporbiotic and was sick as a dog. Only took two doses. And still kinda sick
Yes, this is why it's so important to start low and go slow, so you can identify reactions early and stop. Hope your gut self-regulates.
I took now foods 100 billion probiotic and within a few hours I had a really bad reaction had multiple symptoms. I’ve tried it before and never had bad side effects what could be the cause?
Hi Michael, thanks for watching...100 billion is kind of a high dose, so it's possible you had a reaction due to the dose being too high too fast. If you've used the same product before without a problem, the company could have changed the formulation. Is there rice starch in the product, or do they list prebiotic fiber on the label? These can bother some people. Your microbiome may be different than when you first tried these probiotics as well, and may no longer need them. Those are some ideas...
Confluence Nutrition I Took caprylic acid 600 mg for seven days. Then a week later I try to introduce the probiotics that I’ve used to before and for some reason this time I had a really bad reaction to them.
@@michaelbernal7403 caprylic acid is an anti-candida supplement, is that why you were taking it? The balance of your gut microbiome was likely in a state of flux. OR, the probiotics themselves were helping to create the change, and this can lead to side effects like die off symptoms. If you want to keep trying those particular probiotics, try a much smaller dose and assess. If you react at any dose, those aren't right for you right now. If you're able to tolerate a lower dose, stay there for a while, and work on slowly increasing, or just stay at that level. I hope that helps!
Confluence Nutrition can I use activated charcoal to remove some of the toxins and bacteria from the probiotics histamine reaction?
@@michaelbernal7403 absolutely! it's a great option.

What about sbo
Hi Diane, there are two schools of thought about SIBO and probiotics. SOme feel very strongly that you shouldn;t include them. However, there are high quality research studies that show that people who take probiotics are more likely to succeed in sibo treatment. I think this speaks for itself, but the gold standard is always how do YOU respond? If you feel worse on probiotics, then they maybe aren't right. If you feel better on them, or don't notice anything, I think they're beneficial for your gut environment. Thanks for your question, and thanks for watching.
