Histamine Intolerance And How It May Be Affecting You! 

My goodness 😳 you may have provided the solution I've been seeking for years . Thank you. Many doctors, many tests but no answers 😢

I started taking DAO and I feel like a completely different person. Took away all my joint and nerve pain/neuropathy. Feel calmer too and yet more energetic and focused. It’s astounding.

Dr. Lynch thank you for all the information. I tried Histamine Digest last 2 nites before bed and no morning headache. I have had frequent migraines for years and believe high histamine is to blame!!!

Awesome!! been going theough all of this after and extremely stressful 2 years. Though it was gonna kill me litterally. Have epi pens witb me at all times for last 6 months. This is all new to me, so I thought. Never considered life long symprkms would eventually explode resultant to high stress. But Im a digger dog for answers. Your podcast is unbelievable. Its changing my life. So optimistic about my future. A million thanks! C sullivan retired nurse😊

Also, histamine block helped me tremendously post Covid because my lips and tongue got outrageously, swollen and nothing helped, not even NATTO. Doctors had no advice for me other than giving me, or wanting to give me anti-biotics. I declined. I decided to try your histamine block, and it was the only thing that worked slowly but surely. If I didn’t take it, the next day, my lips and tongue were painful and more swollen. It took about three weeks for things to get back to normal but I had no hope otherwise. I saw videos of people whose tongues were so engorged that they were hanging out of their mouths and had to be operated on to get them smaller. Scared the hell out of me. thank God for your probiotic, your histamine block.

Was struggling for years with homozygous MTHFR until reading Dirty Genes and listening to you online. In addition to a very healthy whole foods diet and your Optimal Multivitamin Minus One, I am now taking your ProBiota HistaminX and it seems to have taken my gut health to an even higher level. I can actually tolerate a daily glass of (organic or italian!) wine! Here's to your health, Dr. Lynch! Thank you so much for helping so many people get back to healthy lives!

I have almost all of these symptoms, as far as to have a sleep disorder, incredibly “allergic” to mosquitoes, ibs or gut issues so bad I’ve gotten nausea and dizzy. I’ve had issues with hives if I take birth-control. I the first few times i took antihistamines I felt intoxicated. I have always known in my gut that almost all of my health problems are related to histamine. Oh my gosh I wasn’t even done writing my review while listening to this video for the first time, and you keep mentioning ALL of problems I’ve come across! I am so thankful for this research and the time you have put into this topic. I am getting this book and I’m taking the test. Thank you.

I have returned to this podcast over and over. Thank you. This is a subject that I feel needs more press. I appreciate Dr Lynch because he is transparent and socially he tells it like he sees it. I appreciate that. I like His attitude/passion.

I cannot thank you enough for your histamine line if products. What a difference it has made in my life. From horrible itching hives.. food intolerance I’m such a mess. I’m feeling better and improving everyday and cannot believe how much I appreciate your work. You have made such a difference… tytyty! Seeking Health.. I’m always spreading the word.. why.. because time and again your supplements prove to bring about positive change to my health. XoXo Bless you Ben.. and your hard work!

Blown away! I'm so glad I decided to watch this! It answers so many questions and now I see a path to relief for my itchy skin and sleep issues.

THANK YOU SO MUCH for covering histamine intolerance! I have a theory that fibromyalgia and other similar unexplained aches and pains may be related to histamine intolerance.

Are you able to publish a list of high histamine foods? Most published lists 1. are extremely general, eg, coconut is low histamine, but dried coconut flesh is extremely high. Avocado is high histamine but avocado oil is not? 2 current published lists contradict one another. What is the relationship, or do the same princples apply to oxilates and lectins? Intolerance to oxilates seems to be muddied with intolerence to histamines.

Thank you thank you! So glad I found this video today. Makes so much sense of my nosebleeds, extreme redness, and other symptoms you mentioned. I started on a carnivore diet in January 2024 and also gave up alcohol. In no time I started to feel amazing & had zero redness. I thought I had found the answer. But about 2.5 months in, the intense flushing returned and with such intensity and with extra skin hotness (at about 2 months in). I am so tired of people asking why I am so red!! It's so embarrassing and very uncomfortable, and I also feel like it rules my life. With your video, I've finally been in the right direction. Thank you again, I hope to try some of the things you have mentioned soon.

I finally learned how to make a SCOBY from scratch to make my homemade Kombucha. I wanna cry 😭

What about tinnitus? Could it be histamine intolerance?

Will you please do a video on seasonal allergies? I read your book and I still don’t completely know what to do.

Can you do a podcast on eczema, asthma and allergies please? My son is suffering from all and I don't know what to do.

I really love your job, I've learned to handle my histamine intolerance issue with the certain of knowing and feeling im doing it in the right way and the right supplements with. I've spent hundreds of dollars in supplements for years and this is the first time I have a clear explanation of them and how they act in my body directly from the creator. Congratulations and truly thanks. ❤️

I want to say thank you so much for the information you are providing, I am a naturopathic student, and a mom with kiddos and my self that have been struggling with dirty genes. School is great but as I am sure you know, most of the education is outside of school. for myself it has been going down the rabbit holes. So thank you, because this furthers my education quicker and enables me to provide my family and community with better care.

How come he doesn’t mention sneezing and runny nose?

I feel inspired and forgot how important this histamine topic is. You were addressing my ongoing issues. Especially in the spring time!

Great info I have not encountered until now!🙌🏼🖖🏼

My daughter has had a rash around her mouth for 3 months now and I have no idea what to do. The only thing it seems like is HI or MCAS She’s 3 years old so it’s so hard to know what to do with her supplement wise or even diet. I feel I’m going to mess up her nutrient intake but I also don’t want her to live in inflammation 😫 I’ve had about 4 breakdowns stressing about this situation this week. We’re in the middle of Renovating our whole home so things are not easy to cook right now with 1/4 of a working kitchen. I wish there was more info for very young children.

Thank you so much for all your information! I hope you continue to make these shorts for the SNP's! I found your histamine block first from my MCAS group and wow, I could eat vinegars and eggs again and so many other foods! I am in Canada and I haven't been diagnosed with MCAS, it's just a guess. I get the same response (horrible inflammation and body pain, tongue swelling, neck pain, burning throat, sore neck and swollen nodes there, and my blood pressure, heart rate, and blood oxygen levels drop drastically with PVCs every 3rd beat, benadryl and cetirizine helps) with histamine as I do to scents and other foods that don't seem to be high in histamine. I've read your book and I'm reading it again, but I am looking for info on my CBS gene and what other genes I need to look at that could possibly be causing this. Supplements are very hard to find that I don't react to. Are there any other resources like this that you have or recommend to help people like myself? Since being isolated inside our scent free home during the start of the pandemic, I suffer that mild anaphylaxis (paramedic and pharmacist both say that's what it is when my heart rate and everything crashes) almost every time I leave my home or if anybody comes over. I am not sure which supplements I should be taking to support cleaning my genes that could be triggering ana. I so appreciate everything you do to help people!

The scratching unlocked a long lost memory in my brain lol And the nosebleeds!! For no reason And yes, I have a histamine intolerance Cool! I had no idea

Great info. I have them book! Have suggested it to many family and friends. I love when you give starting points, and then add-ins. I like formulas that you can add to, when the basics aren’t working. Links to the products is always a good add in to the description. Even a list of the products suggested would be great. Trying to write them all down while you are talking, especially when the closed captioned words often are wrong, seems less efficient.

I could never even _watch_ motion! Helmet cam? Forgettaboutit! Thank you for _explaining *so many aspects* of my life!_. I'm here because of the food intolerance, but learned MUCH MORE! P.S. One of my not so pleasant nicknames is The Puker. 🤢 Oh, and I used to scratch mosquito bites so hard through my jeans that I had a huge bruise around every bite!

You are awesome! Thanks so much for discussing things in detail and showing the entire thought process of how you arrive at your conclusion. It’s huge for me in my learning process and how I work to fix my body. Also, What is a typical zinc to copper ratio? I get quite a bit of both. I’m mostly carnivore and I eat a good amount of liver, kidney and thymus to help with histamine intolerance. Also, what did you do to eradicate blastocystis hominis?

Motion sickness, Car sick, couldn’t tolerate amusement park rides😅My GAWD! I’ve been runnin’round with histamine intolerance my whole damn life !…Enter Miss Menopause 🥊

Great information thank you. So much to think about And so much to clean up.

Would you please seriously consider doing a full chemical analysis of the process of burning fat. There is a lot that goes on there and I don’t think people fully understand it it’s definitely not eat less move more. If you could do an analysis she would probably save 64% of the American population

Excellent! I learn so very much from you Dr. Ben. Thank you!

Thank you . Didn't know exercise causes histamine levels to go up

I just received yesterday some of your extra helps for histamine and the dopamine one, I am having such a much better day today, I am so hopeful, Thank You

Sorry for an out of topic comment, but cannot stop but see a doctor version of Dwight. :) Thanks for advice!

I've never seen a mention of warts in connection to histamine intolerance. It took a long time, but I finally figured out that histamine was a problem for me, and looking back I realized that one of the signs I got every time I had an episode was itchy warts on my forearms and occasionally shins. Anyone else notice this?

I’m just starting the book - all wonderful stuff!

Can histamine intolerance cause severe hypertension and anxiety?

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE all the help you have given me! I find everything you say so fascinating and informative. You have helped me so much! I know everyone else in the world thinks I am crazy, but ....you get it! AND you know how to fix it! I sure do wish you were still seeing patients! But I am so thankful for the time you put into explaining things and sharing your knowledge! And I am SO, SO grateful and thankful for your supplements that allow me eat again! Thanks a billion!

Wowwww what an amazingly informational video!!! Thank you sooo much👏🏼🌟

thank you Dr. Lynch, my son has suffered from most of the symptoms but specifically from nosebleeds and overheating since birth and none of the doctors he has seen was able to tell us what the issues are, he has fallen into a permanent Psychosis 3 years ago but antipsychotic meds are not working, I am looking for a specialist who can help, hopefully you can suggest a doctor for him.

You are the best ! Love the podcasts

Ive read that omega 3 fish oil pills are high in histamine. Is this correct? And what about Beef or Collagen Protein powder? Ive read these are high in histamine. Ive tried to talk to my dr and he thinks histamine is just runny nose itchy eyes from pollen allergies. I have Hashimotos as well as got my Strategene seeking health test and my DOA is dirty. So im trying to eat low histamine and supplement with HistaminX but i felt sick to my stomach. Any help?

Thank you for the information will be very useful

I love this info, but it is all overwhelming. I have been trying for a while to figure out why I am so sick. I also have issues with insomnia to the point where I am completely unable to fall asleep for 1-4 days. Yes 4 days in a row with no sleep. I have the MTHFR gene mutation, the COMT gene mutation, and DAO :/ I have estrogen dominance, I am post menopausal, I have mixed connective tissue disease, Sjogren's Syndrome, and serious gut issues including several food allergies. I eat organic whole foods, do not drink or smoke, and use natural personal care products and cleaners. I am not on any pharmaceuticals. I tried the DIM pill and it made everything worse :/ I take the B complex and have the samE, but have been afraid to try it. I just want to feel normal again. I got the book Dirty Genes so I am hoping I can get a handle on all this.

Just watched the podcast on the app- and took notes, is there a doc I can see whose trained in this? I got my genes tested but was genetic genie and didn’t include DAO or HNMT. I definitely have issues with histamine. My whole trunk itches to the point where I could literally scratch myself to bleed. For years.. no one can seem to help it. It’s getting worse. And I know something is hitting me off because I just had my first allergic reaction- was mango. Twice this month now (at least I know what it was- and I think it was just a huge histamine response. I turned beat red like a tomato from head down to my calves and all over else, and it was so hot and it felt like I’ve been rolling in nettles). With all three of my kids I had severe vomiting the entire time, and did end up getting obstetric cholestasis. I have gall stones . When I was pregnant with my first they forced the H1N1 shot on me, and now I also have food allergies and seizures (never had before). And I have Lyme. Because I’m so complicated I really feel like I need to see somebody. I hate being complicated. Please help. I’m so miserable in my own skin. Exhausted, not sleeping, itching, I hate bras….

Is this covered in your book? I love the information, but it is confusing too since I’m not a chemist.

Yup. Joint pain too

Amazing info thank you

Dr Lynch, just love all this information. I'm in the process of detoxing from mold..can I take your Probiotic at the same time?

thank you for information. What is a good at home genetic test for health ?

I have two variations of mtfhr and digestion issues. I started breaking out with major hives uticardia as of 5 years ago. I break out like crazy from probiotics and fermented foods. It started when I did gaps diet and all the fermented foods caused this. Since then they haven’t gine away completely. I noticed when I watch what I eat low histamine diet they are under control.

Hmmm. Will a blood test indicate the level of histamine? Also, do paradites anf other onfeactions raise hisramine?

I have heard you mention Blasto as a histamine culprit a few times. Are you planning to come out with a supplement for it?

I wish I get tired and sleep

I was told no avocado so I’ve been buying olive oil 🤷🏻‍♀️😫🥴

Learned so much! I'm histamine wozza! Human canary.

I can't find this podcast on Podcast Addict. 😞

Can you list in your comments the Seeking Health products that you talk about and a description of them because I have to keep pausing it in writing to write down everything that you say. There’s so much good information there. Also, what’s the difference between histamine block and histamine blocker plus because I have the former. Additionally I ordered histamine digest and your agent told me that it’s not called histamine block so I’m a little bit annoyed that I can’t confirm that with you. My daughter has very bad eczema and I wanna make sure I’m getting her the right nutrients.Thank you for all you do.

I had no idea probiotics can effect histamine intolerance!

Please tell us about L Histidine I have FLG problems all 4 snps = contact dermatitis. I have your histamine block plus but just found out that I have the FLG gene!!! I love learning and you give us such great information! Thank You

I went 100% carnivore and I've out of my freezer. No left overs or jurkey sadly. I eat alot of hamburger steak and beef fat. I supplement potassium very little salt. Helps alot. The coatings on vitamins and capsules are high histamine. Have to open the capsules. Gelatin is high histamine food. Kidney supplement is also histamine but suppose to help with Dao so it's hard. I put them in the freezer but wasn't fresh enough for me. So I go back to the bucket theory works. All local drs nothing no help. Critic acid C is an no go.

Why thoughts on existentialism are easier to swallow than our biology.

How to you raise histamine levels? Mines are low.

What can you suggest for Histamines affecting the bladder ?

thank you I have had terrible full body rash come over me that feels like fire every morning ,it lasts about 1/2 hour . I have had an estrodil (estrogen) patch for 2 months and have been eating alot of strawberries ,eggs , avocados ...Also have had ongoing serious stress . I did not know till I watched this video that estrogen could contribute to this problem ! thank you

Can you please help us learn how to get out B6 lowered? I don’t supplement B6 but it’s high. I have histamine intolerance, POTS, leaky gut, heavy metal toxicity, neurological symptoms from food allergies. I can only eat a few different foods for the last 1.5 years and haven’t found a doctor who can help me. I’ve had strategene done but I’m still so overwhelmed by that. It’s hard to figure out when you’re feeling so brain fogged at times. Then every time I take a supplement I get dizzy or brain fog and more. I want to try histamine block plus but it has B6 in it so I can’t. I cannot tolerate any probiotics at all bc I get severe vertigo and POTS symptoms. I also get nystagmus from these things. If I could afford it, I would fly to see you in Washington. It’s debilitating to be like this. Please help advise any way you can. I would be willing to show you my strategene or any labs you want to see. I did get my amalgams removed 2 weeks ago and in January I will be getting 3 root canals removed. I tried to take trs to remove heavy metals after getting the amalgams removed and it was TERRIBLE so I’m not sure how to detox too. I do have MTHFR, HMNT, MAO and other genetic SNPS on the strategene.

Just ordered histamine block plus. Fingers crossed!!

Very interesting! I'm wondering if the hydrogen peroxide and ammonia released from the break down of histamine can cause white hair? I had sudden white (not grey) hairs appear just before being diagnosed as a coeliac. Coeliacs often have high histamine levels.

Thank you for this. Just had another flare with my histamine issue. It would be great to hear more about food we can eat, but it sound your more into the medical side of things.

I tried DAO legume tablets and I got severe brain fog 😢

When i eat sauerkraut it makes me ill? Histamine?

Good information for me. Will listen to this again.

Thank you so much for the video, very very helpful. Do you make a supplement that has HNMT enzyme, similar to DAO enzyme? Does anyone make this? I think my issue is more HNMT vs DAO. -Mark

Dr. Lynch, do you have any idea why raw dairy could have “healed” my allergies and skin issues? Double C677t variant here. I used to have HORRIBLE seasonal, gluten, and pasteurized dairy allergies. My skin reactions I’ve had my whole life, my other food and seasonal allergies were triggered by severe mold poisoning. I went to a very renown naturopathic clinic in the Seattle area, and based on the specialists advice, I did a year long mold detox diet and supplament regimen + I went vegan/whole foods/plant based. She tested me for Lyme, tons of genetic conditions… just about any condition you could think of it seems. She tested. That’s where we found out about my mold poisoning, Lyme disease, and MTHFR. These were three of my big ones. I’ve been on special supplaments for methylation since then. ANYWAYS. A lot of my psorisis, seasonal allergies, food allergies, and eczema did not flare as long as I did not divert from my vegan diet above and avoided trigger foods. So, the new diet + supplament plan did help. The moment I had gluten, pasteurized dairy, certain meats, the allergies and reactions would come back. So much so, I’d have liquid and a pus like substance coming out of my eyes and ears. Fast forward to this year, I started CRAVING eggs. I believe this is because I was not supplamenting correctly on my nearly 5 year vegan diet journey, and I had gotten myself into a major choline deficiency, among other things. I introduced organic pasture raised eggs, and along with eggs, I started experimenting with very clean meats (grass fed lamb + beef) and introduced raw dairy. I travel for a living, so I began trying raw dairy everywhere I went that offered it. Well, I don’t know exactly what happened, but 6 months later, I can now eat ALL of my trigger foods and not have any reactions (I don’t eat them often though… I still avoid gluten, non organic and grass fed meats and veggies, and pasteurized dairy). It was almost like the raw dairy products fortified my gut to fight agaisnt my usual allergen triggers? I’m still trying to figure this out. My diet is now whole foods + raw dairy + gluten free + high quality organic and pasture raised/grass fed meat. Side note: Thought my allergies are better now, I have gained 15-20 lbs and have not been able to get pregnant so far. This is the next big health goal I’m working at now.

I just bought your histamine block plus ! Hope it helps me!

Watery eyes ? I get watery eyes every so often.

If I'm bit my a mosquitoe I get a swollen ball underneath it...whats that mean?

Would histamine x probiota be good to take with SIBO gut issues ?

If only the histamine block plus didn't have DAO, i can't tolerate anything porcine :/

His book is great

My daughter suffers from most of these conditions. She feels like her Dr thinks she's crazy. Is there any harm in trying the supplements? She is always afraid of them getting worse.

I want the try the low histamine diet and see if it helps me. I am attacked by bird mites every Spring time. I have MTHFR, adrenal fatigue and Hashimoto’s 😢

Quercetin (in HistaminX) and other anti-histamines can have a rebound effect that makes ASTHMA WORSE. They basically make you histamine resistant, and the body makes more histamine to compensate, so you end up with higher levels than you had before after a couple of days. It works similarly to the way insulin resistance increases insulin production.

A little before 8:40 mins into the video, you said in order to get rid of that bacteria you have to focus on certain probiotics. Which probiotics?

Histamine block plus has b vitamins. What if you already take methylated b vitamins. Won’t that be too much vitamin b?

Can histamine caused blocked ears or ear pressure? I don’t have a runny nose. If anything it’s very dry. What does that mean? Feels like I’m on an airplane when I drive up or down a hill. Please help

I have a problem eating red meat, and pork though my allergy test came back negative. My glands swell up, I get extremely bad headaches and chronic fatigue.. along with terrible body pain. I also can't handle high histamine foods.. -alcohol ,kombucha, citrus,vinegar, 90% of all fruits, avocado, some shade tree vegetables.. I get car sick.. think I have leaky gut.. I want to do keto/ carnivore. I have a problem digesting meat even if it's white.. though I can handle white meat just not red meat. If anybody has any advice I would be greatly appreciative.

What if the problem Is High testosterone? Do you have something that helps balance that?

I had just started a new probiotic and was in the hospital the next day. It had all the strains you mentioned increase histamine greatly.. I get SO sick when my histamine goes high.. like deathly sick. I need to figure how to get over this histamine issue :(

I have estrogen dominance (probably, mostly due to lower progesterone and not great estrogen detox), which manifests in a specific symptom. I took DIM once, and it made me feel worse (night sweats and other low estrogen symptoms). I wonder why that would be, any insights?

How do we know if we have a histamine deficiency? I'm trying to figure out my digestive issues, along with malignant hypertension. I don't have sleep apnea. That is ruled out.

Does calcium d glucarate cause calcium buildup in the arteries?

I thought I was dealing with Histamine issues until I learned that I have low stomach acid.. Histamine from my understanding raises stomach acid.. So if that's the case what about trying L-histidine

Thank u.

I do have a high level of blastocyst homninis but I’m still nursing so I can’t work on the gut. What probiotics can I take to help while nursing to lower blastocyst

My kid use to have nose bleeds when was little severe winter continous heater how can we test for it

Im using 1mg methylfolate with b12 and its making me feel bad.

What if I’m having low histamine and over methylation, would I need histamine producing strains? Niacinamide cured my dry eye over methylation for the past few months but I have to take 1000 to 2000 mg a day divided whenever my eyes get dry I take two tablets of 1000 mg total

Please show your supplements on your videos..we So want to see them! 😜 It's not being pushy we need these supplements immediately for outstanding health and energy! Thx u 🙏😁🎉
