The intestinal mucosa and histamine intolerance

Protection for plagued mucous membranes

The intestinal mucosa is the innermost of the four layers from which the intestinal wall is structured and has a huge area: it measures up to 400m2 if you were to be set up.

It contains blood vessels, fine muscle fibers, nerves and also glands. It is involved in the nutrient absorption, forms digestive enzymes as well as the histamine -degrading enzyme dao and defends pathogens.

The intestinal mucosa also communicates: certain cells and their messenger substances are there to be a information transfer with other organs.
Did you know that the intestinal mucosa plays an important role in the development of food intolerance? Especially with histamine intolerance?

If the intestinal mucosa is permeable, the smallest components from the food can pass the intestinal wall. The immune system is then called on the schedule and fends off these components. Mast cells react to these stimuli by increasing histamine and you can feel that on your known symptoms.

One Too permeable intestinal mucosa, or: Leaky good, can be through the Histamin intolerance reinforced become. But the other way around, a shoe is made of it:Food intolerances can be triggered for leaky goodas well as a consequence of it.

But what can you do for the health of your mucous membranes?

Renain the mucous membrane
It can be an extra portion of attention. Imagine you do a small, regenerating cure for the mucous membranes two to three times a year. The following substances can support you well:

1. L-glutamine

The amino acid L-glutamine is the amino acid that occurs most in the body and for the Regeneration of the mucous membranes essential. Dairy products, and also soybeans, wheat, peanuts, lentils and oatmeal contain a lot of L-glutamine. It is involved in the structure and maintenance of muscle mass and the regulation of the acid-base balance and a Important energy source for the intestinal cells: Seventy percent of the L-glutamine that we absorb with food is consumed by the intestinal mucosa cells. It helps to maintain the intestinal barrier, counteracts inflammatory processes and reduces the permeability of the mucous membrane.

2. Shisandra extract

Shisandra (gap basket), the berry grape from the family of the star anthuses originally comes from China and has been part of traditional Chinese medicine there for a long time. The berries are a special feature, because they taste salty, sweet, spicy, sour and bitter at the same time and Contain vitamin C, Apple acid and pectin, which is very healthy for the intestine. The active ingredient is shisandrin. It protects the liver, has antibacterial and antiviral effect, stimulates the immune system, Astioxidative and anti -inflammatory effect. Shisandra is considered an adaptogen, which means that it supports adaptability and has a stress -relieving effect. The important component is the lignans that have an estrogen -like structure. They support relaxation and sleep. In traditional Chinese medicine, Shisandra, like Ginseng, is used as a strength of the strength.

3. Oliveblatte extract

Tea can be made from olive leaves, they can simply be consumed and you can make extract from them. They have been known in the Mediterranean since ages as Starch. The active ingredient is oleuropein, that Antiviral and bacterial as well as anti -inflammatory. Above all, as far as the intestine is concerned, it can support against excessive fungal attack (Candida). This is particularly important for people with histamine intolerance. Because the connection between increased mushroom volume, leaky good and hit is important: Candida leads to increased histamine release in the mast cells. This is basically the natural defense reaction of the body to restore the balance. For histamine intolerants, however, the symptom spiral screws up. Here you can read more about this connection: https://histaminikus.de/blogs/blog/candida-und-histaminintoleranz

From your own experience you know how complicated it can be to get a good quality of life with a hit. Therapists with whom we are in contact have repeatedly described us that Stool analyzes of HIT affected people often identify a leaky good above average. And also the other way around: if the mucous membrane has regenerated, the symptoms of histamine intolerance can also mitigate.

Maintain the intestinal mucosa

Regeneration is best accompanied by good carelinseed regulate the digestion and protect the mucous membranes. They are low in histamine and can be very well integrated into the daily diet. You are real domestic superfoods And also inexpensive. Give A teaspoon of scrolled flax seeds in the muesli every day, In the breakfast porridge or sprinkle over the salad. You can also use linseed oil, but make sure that you keep it in the fridge. It has a strange taste, but it hardly notices in a salad sauce. Just take 2/3 olive oil and 1/3 linseed oil. 

If you Give linseed oil in curd cheese, the strong taste will also get lost. You can such a very valuable and Delicious snack create:

  • 1TL screamed flax seeds
  • 1el linseed oil, organic
  • In a bowl of curd cheese

To change the taste, the whole thing refines from time to time with herbs that you can tolerate well.

If you no flax seed, then maybe this will help you small recipe:

  • Put a heaped tablespoon of flax seeds in a large glass,
  • Fill it up with water and leave the whole sources.

You will notice that the water becomes more viscous after a while. Then drink the water sips. Even the mucus dissolved in it are a blessing for your intestine.

From those affected for those affected

We are Thomas and Michaela Zinser, founder of Histaminikus.

Because of the own histamine intolerance of Michaela and our son, we founded Histaminikus. The frustration does not find any suitable histamine food has spurred us to develop low -histamine food.
We would like to give you back a piece of quality of life. Feel free to look around with us.

Kind regards
Thomas and Michaela
