            Histamine Intolerance

            Published by Dr José Costa at 13/09/2021

            It was first described more than 60 years ago but only recently started to be more noted and looked into.⁣

            In 2011 the 𝘌𝘶𝘳𝘰𝘱𝘦𝘢𝘯 𝘍𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘚𝘢𝘧𝘦𝘵𝘺 𝘈𝘨𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘺 raised concerns regarding the high levels of amines (histamine included) present in foods bought in supermarkets, which might be considered a health risk.⁣

            • It affects around 1% of the population, with nearly 80% of those being of middle age.⁣
            • It happens when there is an imbalance between the amount of histamine circulating and our capacity to degrade it.⁣

            Symptoms can happen due to either deficiency of the enzymes that degrade histamine or medication, leading to decreased enzymatic activity.⁣

            The main symptoms depend on the organs affected⁣

            • When the problem is 𝐃𝐀𝐎 deficiency⁣
            1. Headaches⁣
            2. Nausea and vomiting⁣
            3. Diarrhoea, abdominal pain and problems with digestion⁣
            4. Blocked nose⁣
            5. Sneezing⁣
            6. Itchy skin, rashes, and hives⁣
            7. Asthma and difficulty breathing⁣
            8. Hypotension⁣
            9. Irregular heartbeat⁣
            10. Muscular and joint pains⁣
            • When the problem is 𝐇𝐍𝐌𝐓 deficiency, mainly it affects⁣
            1. Brain⁣
            2. Liver⁣
            3. Lining of lungs⁣

            The best way to reduce symptoms is by either reducing or stopping eating foods containing histamine or taking antihistamines.⁣

            The use of DAO (Diamine Oxidase) supplements is still debatable.
