Description

Histamine bannerHistamine banner

Certain foods that undergo a natural ripening process (e.g. wine, cheese or tomatoes) contain a lot of histamine. In the case of histamine intolerance, these foods are poorly tolerated and can lead to severe symptoms.

With the cerascreen Histamine Intolerance Test you can determine your concentration of the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), and therefore find out right from home whether a histamine intolerance is present.

Why take the Histamine Intolerance Test?

Histamine intolerance causes complaints all over the body in at least one percent of the UK population. Symptoms are often generic, ranging from stomach noises to headaches and skin rashes. The fact that histamine is found in many different foods – such as cheese, sausage, fish and red wine – makes avoiding histamine even more difficult.

A test for histamine intolerance is the first step you can take for a diagnosis.

Where does histamine intolerance come from?

Histamine is a messenger substance involved in blood formation and wound healing, for example. In our immune system, it also triggers inflammatory reactions and thus fights pathogens.

If our intestines and kidneys do not produce enough DAO, histamine cannot be broken down properly. This leads to an intolerance, where excess histamine can trigger inflammation and discomfort throughout the body.

There are a number of possible causes for the imbalance between enzymes and histamine:

  • An unhealthy gut due to irritable bowel syndrome, gastritis, Crohn’s disease or intestinal ulcers
  • A deficiency in vitamins and minerals, including vitamins B6 and C and zinc
  • Certain medicines and alcohol

Symptoms of a histamine intolerance (after eating):

  • Redness, itching and swelling of the skin
  • Stomach and intestinal cramps, flatulence and diarrhoea
  • Runny nose, cough, difficulty breathing or swallowing
  • Headache and dizziness
  • Palpitations, increased blood pressure and cardiac arrhythmia

How do I treat histamine intolerance?

With histamine intolerance, it is crucial that you eat a diet as low in histamine as possible. Histamine cannot be removed from food by heating, freezing or washing. Only a change in diet will help you: if your intestines only have to process a little histamine, this will alleviate any symptoms.

Other treatment methods include:

  • Promoting gut health – probiotic foods, lots of fibre and little sugar help enzymes in your gut
  • Vitamins and minerals – sufficient vitamin B6, vitamin C and zinc help your intestine process histamine
  • Medication for acute symptoms – antihistamines can relieve inflammatory symptoms such as diarrhoea for a short time

Please consult with your doctor first.
