Addressing Histamine Intolerance and Autoimmune Diseases

Following a restrictive low histamine diet for a long time can be harmful to mental health and the beneficial bacteria in the gut because it does not address the root cause. The recommended approach is a two-week low histamine diet to assess symptom improvement. Then, addressing the root cause involves evaluating gut health, toxin load, and performing tests to rule out conditions like inflammatory bowel disease or autoimmune diseases. Before diagnosing histamine intolerance, it's crucial to rule out allergies through an IgE antibody blood test for common allergens and environmental allergies.
