How many of the symptoms from histamine intolerance do you have?
Now, it would be great if we could quickly test you for histamine intolerance, like we can test for food allergies. But there isn’t a reliable lab test, unfortunately.
If, at this point, you thought you’d just go to the chemist and buy some anti-histamines and be done with it, I’ll have to disappoint you.
Anti-histamine medication suppresses symptoms AND adds to your overall inflammation by irritating your gut.
If you are sensitive to histamine, we need to minimise the amount that ends up in your system to begin with, so all the good work you’ve been doing with your anti-inflammatory diet is not going to waste.
And one of the great things about having an histamine intolerance is that if you remove histamine foods from your diet, you’ll feel better in just one week.
I think that might make the diet worth it, don’t you?
That’s why the “12 Weeks to Eat Your Way to Less Pain” program includes 1 anti-histamine week. Most women will get to the end of that week, and happily never worry about histamine again. Some women finally discover the main culprit behind many of their symptoms.
If you have some of the more unusual symptoms in the list of histamine intolerance symptoms and you would like to explore if histamine might be the culprit, please get in touch. It is important to do this diet under close supervision, because it is a very restrictive diet and we need to make sure you still get all the key nutrients.
