Episode notes
Histamine Links Many Allergy‑Like Symptoms
- Histamine often underlies allergy-prone symptoms like flushing, runny nose, insomnia, and loose stools.
- High dietary histamine or overactive immune responses can both raise symptom burden.
Diet Can Restore Histamine‑Metabolizing Enzymes
- Low-histamine diets have clinical backing and can increase DAO production, the enzyme that breaks down histamine.
- Reducing gut inflammation allows intestinal tissues to heal and restore histamine‑metabolizing capacity.
Fix The Gut Environment, Not Single Bugs
- You can't micromanage gut ecosystems by targeting single microbes; changing the environment yields broader correction.
- Upstream interventions (diet, reduced inflammation) allow the microbiome to rebalance itself.
