Histamine intolerance - short introduction

What is a histamine intolerance

The histamine intolerance or histamine intolerance is one acquired or genetically related metabolic disorder, to which several physical causes and environmental factors contribute.
For those affected, the Body is unable to dismantle the histamine in the body sufficiently.
Due to the consumption of food, the release of the body's own histamine or by an enzyme defect, it can lead to one Overload on histamine come in the body. The excess histamine in the body leads to a wide variety of symptoms that are like food poisoning, cold or allergy, although there is no allergy.
Therefore one Histamine intolerance also as a pseudo -allergy designated.

What is histamine

The body's histamine:

Histamine is one for the body Important messenger With many tasks:

  • It moves the body with allergies and infections on alert
  • It influences the sleep-wake state
  • It controls the intestinal movement
  • It regulates stomach acid production
  • and much more

Histamine becomes Made in the body itself And mainly in the Mast cells (Cells of the immune defense) savedto be released if necessary. It is known primarily through allergies, since allergic reactions release histamine in the body.

Histamine about nutrition:

Histamine is a Biogenes Aminthat the reduction of the amino acid Histidin is formed. It is therefore in Histidin -containing foods contained or in the course of Storage and maturation formed. Therefore, fresh foods such as meat and fruit should be consumed as soon as possible and should not be stored for long. Usually you take about 4mg of histamine through your food every day. In a healthy person, the amount of possession is 10mg of histamine per day. From 100mg of histamine there are significant symptoms. With a person with histamine intolerance, however, the threshold is significantly reduced. Even the smallest amounts of histamine can lead to complaints.

Symptoms of histamine intolerance

A wide variety of symptoms can occur with histamine intolerance. Therefore, it is so difficult to combine histamine intolerance with the cause of symptoms. Often, those affected do not even know that they suffer from this pseudo allergy. Which symptoms occur is totally different from person to person. Below are the Key symptoms listed:

  • Cold complaints: running nose, sneezing, expectoration, coughing, breathing difficulties
  • Digestive problems: diarrhea, abdominal pain, flatulence, heartburn, nausea
  • Skin diseases: itching, rash, reddening of the skin (especially in face)
  • Heart problems
  • Headache, migraines, dizziness
  • Sleep disorders, fatigue
  • Menstrual complaints

The Intensity of the symptoms depends on How much excess histamine is in the body. The more histamine, the more violent the symptoms. The body can only be relieved by not having to do without histamine -containing or histamine -free food.

Histamine -reducing enzymes

Diaminooxidase (dao)

  • Dao is the most decisive mining cym from histamine
  • DAO is reducing extracellular (free) histamine, which is recorded, for example, by food
  • DAO is mainly produced in the intestinal mucosa cells
  • A lack of DAO can cause the following symptoms: flush, nausea, headache, intestinal problems, skin problems, asthma, and much more

Histamin N-methyltransferase (Hnmt)

  • Builds intracellular histamine (mainly in the liver, kidney, bronchial muchate, central nervous system)
  • Reduction of activity of the HNMT leads to chronic forms of histamine intolerance
  • Symptoms can be: unrest, muscle twitching, sleep disorders, fatigue, dizziness, anxiety

DIAGNOSIS

It is very difficult to make a diagnosis because the symptoms and symptoms are totally unspecific. Often those affected run from doctor to doctor and nothing can be found. Many doctors cannot understand the complaints of those affected and see no further need for action. The topic of histamine intolerance is not yet on the table for many doctors.

If you have the feeling of suffering from a histamine intolerance, then you should go to a doctor or alternative practitioner and be tested for it. The histamine content in the body is determined with a blood test and a stool test provides statements as to whether there is too much histamine in the intestine. If both tests have been positive, you can assume that you suffer from histamine intolerance.

Further information on diagnosis can be found in our Diagnosis.

THERAPY

Unfortunately there is no miracle pill that heals the histamine intolerance and unfortunately it is not possible to eat completely histamine -free. The However, body can be relieved by dispensing with histamine -containing and histamine -free food. The symptoms of histamine intolerance can be alleviated with a strict histamine -low diet or even completely disappear. 

In addition, therapy with medication such as Daosin, toxaprevent or quercitin can be supported. Furthermore, a study found that people with histamine intolerance have a lack of vitamin C and B6. Here can Dietary supplements  help.

I can say from my own experience that all my symptoms have disappeared when I strictly adhered to the low -histamine diet. And it was worth it to me because I was finally able to live healthy and symptom -free. There was also a positive side effect that I had decreased 10kg due to the change of food. Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.
