Stress is also a HUGE factor in this.

For me it all started with pain in my intestines. Then lots of gas. Then fast heart rate and skip a beat. Asthma. Joint pain. Dry eye. Still always continual intestine pain . Awful pain near my bladder. Hives. And finally histamine intolerance. All this been happening in steps since 2021. And every dr had my blood work done and they all tell me nothings wrong. I’m just now figuring out what to do. Of course I’ve eliminated high histamine foods. Long ways to go and still figuring out this mess. But Dr. A is helping. I have methane sibo too. I wish I could just get an exact Protocol. Best to all of us. 😊

I discovered bacon was triggering symptoms for me. I was blaming the eggs. I get a stuffy nose when I drink alcohol. I went to the chemist to get my usual decongestant spray and the chemist asked why I was using it. I told him when I drink alcohol it blocks my nose. He identified it as a histamine intolerance straight away. Pain and inflammation has been present for decades. Finally and explanation.

Low histamine foods! & Foods to reduce histamine!

@mmmmmt-o7t 11 months ago

For years I had intermittent episodes of severe pain, nausea and vomiting when stool moved through my colon. I kept myself on a diet of chicken bone broth, rice and added banana, papaya and avocado as tolerated. Then I would have the severe pain episode, usually after 4 days. As soon as I quit eating the bone broth, banana, papaya and avocado, the pain went away. So now I avoid foods that are known to either stimulate histamine production in the body, or foods that inhibit DAO elimination and I usually am doing better. I have discovered that milk products and left over salmon will trigger my A Fib...I am thankful for this clear explanation of histamine intolerance. It will help me further develop the diet that truly feeds my body the nutrients it needs to get healthy. Thank you Dr A

Allergic Angioedema - eye lids the worst! My face, hands, feet, stomach - if I eat fruit and vegetables. The natural food chemicals make me sick. This started over 10 years ago. I’ve done soo much, seen specialists, naturopaths. MTHFR too, I take supplements and I end up how I am now. Fatigue, absolutely exhausted, sore and aching, no energy to do anything. Affects my life soo much now.

Appreciate your generously sharing this important information. Can't thank you enough. This is a great place to start.

@katej1161 1 year ago

Scromboid Poisoning is something I learned about the hard way. Mahi Mahi has the highest level of histamine that can't be cooked off and brought me instant flu plus flushing, bp low, etc. Ugh!!

I'll have to rewatch this video a couple of times: huge amounts of really well presented information. Thank you!

This is very interesting…I have hayfever symptoms every single day of my life…antihistamines don’t touch it or if they do last about 20minutes before it comes back worse than ever. Swollen nose membranes I sound like I have a cold, a headache itchy eyes and skin, also IBS…I’m also moderate to severe asthmatic, I can’t drink milk..lactose intolerant, I also can’t eat chilli anymore…it’s like my body is burning and I get severe stomach cramps and ibs plays up…I think you may have helped me see this could be me….everyone says you can only get allergies in spring but I get them every single day…I no longer can breath through my nose, or I rarely get to do so. This has been all of my life…Thank you Dr, you’ve helped me immensely.

@helengabr5743 1 year ago

Thank you 👍. Very interesting and informative.

I now live on our farm in the desert. I used to be very allergic to dogs and cats. For the last five years I have found my dog allergy (itching skin as soon as I touched a dog) has totally disappeared! It could be the climate keeping the allergens low but anyhow, I have six dogs and cuddle them all the time. This video has increased my awareness because I never understood about histamine. 😊

@d1950l1941 9 months ago

Answers the questions I had why my body was going haywire suddenly. Thanks so much!

@nford3886 1 year ago

Wow, so many issues never mentioned before that are tied to histamine! Glad to know the joint swelling and PVCs have an explanation! Have been poopooed since childhood, until finding THE RIGHT IMMUNOLOGIST, this year. (55 years😳) Now, I have hope!

Thank you, Dr Paul, my MCAS Angel, for providing the exact information, at the right moment, over and over. You ARE a lifesaver and sanity keeper!

We were told by my grandson’s healthcare specialist asthma nurse, that cat allergens stick around for a long time and wherever the cat has laid down, or has been around the house, so just washing hands won’t cut it. Luckily, my grandson allergy tests showed that he wasn’t allergic to the cat, nor thankfully to my daughter’s horses, because an allergy to horses can be particularly severe.

@thomasarbec7242 1 year ago

Great. I’m more confused than ever.

Finally: An answer to the fifty years I've been asking the same questions. Why all my problems began when I was placed on medications for EPILEPSY. You, name it and I've suffered with it.
