Food Allergies or
​Histamine Intolerance?

Did you know the majority of your Immune system is found in the Digestive system? ​

​Which explains why if you eat something you’re allergic to your immune system sets off a five-alarm fire throughout your body and triggers hives, stomach cramps, and breathing difficulty.

But maybe your so-called food allergies aren’t what they seem. These and other symptoms could instead be a sign of histamine intolerance.

Histamine is a naturally-occurring chemical and is quite the multitasker!
Picture
It acts as a neurotransmitter passing notes from your brain to your body. It is a key component of stomach acid responsible for helping break down food. Plus histamine is released when you’re injured to promote inflammation to help with healing. But it's best known for its starring role in allergic reactions.
Because histamine plays so many different parts in how your body functions, symptoms of an intolerance are broad and can easily be confused with a food allergy.
​

Take a closer look at the foods you’re eating and the unpleasant reactions that follow. Since it’s found naturally in your body consuming histamine-rich products it may be too much for you to handle.
Along with histamine-rich foods there are also ‘histamine liberators’ which have been found to trigger the body to release the chemical, or the reactions could be caused by DAO inhibitors.

DAO (diamine oxidase) is the main enzyme that helps the body metabolize the histamine found in food but if those enzymes are sluggish or non-existent in the body can become overrun by histamine rather quickly.

➡️Click through the images above for a closer look at the common culprits and don’t forget to chat with your doctor about histamine intolerance!
