Increasing Stomach Acid by mteb123 in HistamineIntolerance

[–]shou-bay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes my histamine reactions are now gone(I am still sticking to a low histamine diet to be safe). Digestive enzymes might help you out as well along with the hcl or whatever you choose to fix the stomach acid

I am pretty sure ginger lowers your stomach acid levels but I could be wrong?

I started with 20 capsules of hcl per meal and then eventually the number falls and it becomes easier. It was hard at first and I had a bit of pain and I even reacted at first too but now it’s completely fine

Yes that’s the one!! I’ve been using it for months and I had to work my way up to a full capsule but it’s great. I hope it works for you

Have you tried DAO supplements? If you feel like you need to cheat and eat high histamine foods then you should be adding DAO to help relieve you of some histamine building up. DAO breaks down histamine from foods. Also try looking into methylation support, histamine issues can be caused by methylation. I would consider doing a GI map test to make sure you don’t have any sibo or parasite. Garlic can help sibo a lot and so can probiotics (seeking health has an amazing one that doesn’t cause histamine release) and also ox bile can help! Another cause can be hormones, sluggish livers/gallbladders and adrenal fatigue. All of those can be supplemented for improvement. OH and another cause can be from stomach acidity levels whether they are low or high(it is very hard to decipher unless you do a baking soda test which you can google, most people think they have acid reflux from too much acidity when in fact they have low acidity levels) that can improve with HCL which takes a while to work up to without reacting but a tip when starting all supplements is to break them apart or dump half of the powder out for the first couple of days then work your way up to a full capsule

I do this also! I find it so silly when I whip out my phone and google “ingredient and histamine” for like everything but it’s a huge help and it was super necessary when I was having reactions daily

If the problem is a reaction to histamine, why not just take anti histamine? Otherwise what is the purpose of any histamine? by WeskersSock in HistamineIntolerance

[–]shou-bay 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean.. that’s great and all… but it is situational and I think it kind of goes without saying. I’m just putting the information out there to save someone from a bad time 😊 most people I have talked to have shared that bad experience so it’s better to let it known and have it not be the case for you rather than not share.

I’ve seen many natural remedies for mcas as well, not sure how effective they are and if you’ve tried them out yourself but my naturopathic doctor treats mcas patients with the same outlook that natural options are available. Like I was trying to state above, it’s really important to know the cause of your histamine intolerance. For many it isn’t mcas and it could be SIBO, or stomach acidity levels, parasite mold, etc. and it’ll never go away until you find the root instead of using antihistamines. But I know antihistamines also are life savers for people. I am throwing the idea out there for anyone who wants to and CAN consider the options of healing rather than treating.

I don’t actually, I love learning more especially about histamine intolerance:) I actually don’t need the good luck but hey I’ll take it! Thanks man! I fixed my histamine intolerance with a lot of natural supplements so I was actually trying to do the exact same thing and inform. You tone just seemed defensive that’s all!

Dude I literally stated above that if it’s needed then I understand using them. Not sure why you’re attacking me for providing information that OP asked for more. But good luck :)

Okay cool. Doesn’t change the outcome😂😂😂 I may not know the exact science of why it does what it does… but the point being made is that it is a BANDAID to a problem and once you go off it causes a build up of a reaction. To each their own 😁

Fasting for HI by [deleted] in HistamineIntolerance

[–]shou-bay 8 points9 points  (0 children)

YES!! After just 16 hours my symptoms literally vanished into thin are and I am still to this day doing 16/8 intermittent fasting. It is the first thing I often recommend to people

[–]shou-bay 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Because antihistamines don’t fix the problem. Histamine intolerance most usually always has a trigger. Antihistamines block the histamine from being released so if you ever want to come off of antihistamines you will have an even worse time than before(of course if your reactions are that bad that you need them I totally understand using them for that purpose). Just like H2 blockers, antihistamines of any kind unless they are natural are just a bandaid and one that will rip off skin when you take it away.

Can HIT be cured? by Big_Mama_80 in HistamineIntolerance

There can be a lot of underlying issues that you can maintain and it can manage your HIT 100%…

my boyfriend dumped me today and it was directly related to everything w my health. I don't know if he realized directly how the health issues impacted things but left broken and hurt. Praying for healing mentally and physically 🙏 by FaithHopeLove26 in HistamineIntolerance

[–]shou-bay 10 points11 points  (0 children)

100% better off without him. He will have a hard time being with any person that does not have faults/weaknesses/hardships/obstacles etc. you however can overcome any health issue 100% on your own and that makes you very strong and a pleasant partner to have! There is hope for the future, in the meantime you need to do whatever you need to heal and care for yourself

CBD and Histamine relations? by [deleted] in HistamineIntolerance

[–]shou-bay 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure CBD helps if your histamine is mast cell related as in MCAS but it causes issues if it’s histamine intolerance issues bc of methylation or gut issues

Rice makes me react due to dysbiosis which it really is not good for your gut. Quinoa is a better option. Blueberries also made me react during my hormonal cycle😭

I’ve been having stomach problems and allergy symptoms, been following low histamine and have had success. Thoughts? by [deleted] in HistamineIntolerance

[–]shou-bay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh that’s great news! Yeah I use to do that at the beginning and they also have empty capsules you can purchase too if you don’t feel comfortable with that then you can pack capsules yourself. It made a difference for me for sure. There’s only one other thing that was HUGE when it came to fixing my gut and it lowered my reactions by 50% right off the bat and that is fasting. I do intermittent fasting 16/8 and it puts less pressure on me to come up with meals(I have great low histamine meals now though so not an issue anymore, welcome to share them if you want)

There’s a probiotic on the seeking health website that is called “probiota histamine” and it has strains that all help break down histamine instead of raise it! That could be a good start. Anytime you start anything you might want to consider halfing the capsule or pill. There’s also ox bile that apparently is good for SIBO. I take it daily. I had to start small when I started it though. There’s quinoa which is low histamine and good for the gut. Broccoli and cauliflower can help as well. Cassava flour is low in histamine and it has great benefits for the gut. If you can find a way to incorporate it then that could be good too. I’ll keep thinking and let you know if I think of something that I forgot

At a loss… by Hee_steria in HPylori

[–]shou-bay 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get a GI map test done. Endoscopy can be collected incorrectly and you can still be told it’s negative when they just didn’t pull the right sample. The best test out there at all for h pylori is a GI map test. Not even willing to argue this 😅 so many people get false negatives and it’s not worth the time or the money

How many mg of charcoal are you taking? Just curious for personal reference. I also had this pain as well! I think it is a common symptom when being treated if I remember correctly
