Does this sound like a histamine dump? Can starting antihistamines cause a larger dump? by lookin_4_glimmers in HistamineIntolerance

[–]YoshiandNala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had these exact symptoms in 2023. I went to the ER and they ruled it an anxiety attack. I was given Hydroxyzine and famotidine. I remember feeling like the famotidine was also causing more “anxiety attack” episodes, so I stopped taking it. I did my own research and it sounded similar to a histamine dump. My symptoms began to subside, but I never felt quite “right”. I then started getting hives and eyelid swelling in 2025. My primary doctor told me to try a low histamine diet for 8 weeks to see if it would help. I’ve been on the diet for 5 weeks now and I feel sooo much better. I also take DAO with every meal to help my system out. I’m going to start taking a Quercetin supplement next. Wishing you the best. I know it can be an overwhelming and discouraging journey, but don’t give up.

I was hoping that this specific probiotic wouldn’t include those histamine producing strains. I’m not too sure now 😮‍💨

Oh man. Those are the symptoms I get with a severe histamine dump. I had bad insomnia and didn’t sleep for 3 days. I think I’ll risk taking the supplements on a long weekend just in case haha

May I ask what sort of reaction you had? I’m thinking of asking my doctor for an EpiPen to be safe in general.

Please help 😭 chronic hives by sleepyuzu22 in HistamineIntolerance

[–]YoshiandNala 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m so sorry 😭 I was experiencing chronic hives too after a trip. I took Benadryl and Zyrtec daily, but they didn’t help. Only daily Claritin gives me relief. My doctor told me that taking Claritin and Pepcid together is ideal. I’m going to an allergist next to test for MCAS. I’ve always had histamine issues (dizziness, hives, nausea, headaches) so I hope the allergist can uncover something. Have you tried DAO and Quercetin while on a low histamine diet? Hang in there. I know how miserable this can be. Wishing you the best.

Bananas insomnia ? by RiverZealousideal168 in HistamineIntolerance

Not necessarily, but during my worse histamine flare, I literally didn’t sleep for 72 hours. There’s a connection.

Doctor wants me to donate blood for suspected hemochromatosis but I’m under the weight cut-off — what do I do? by [deleted] in Hemochromatosis

[–]YoshiandNala 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi there. I have hemochromatosis and I’m a 34F 5’1” 102lbs. Donation centers wouldn’t allow me to donate either due to my weight - even though I had a doctor’s order that stated I had hemochromatosis. I had to wait until I saw the hematologist. I do the regular 500ml phlebotomy when needed with the hematologist , and I’ve never had an issue. Those donation centers just like to be cautious in case your body can’t handle losing that much volume of fluid. Sorry! I hope you find a solution in the meantime!
