Histamine Intolerance, Gut Health and SIBO- How The Gut Is tied into Histamine Intolerance 

Thanks for bridging the gap between what is known in Europe and what desperately needs to become routine in the US

Wow, you are a real doctor healer! It’s so good to see a doc really think and investigate with deep patient history and listening.

This is excellent. And is me exactly. I just found out I have H Pylori and other bacterial overgrowths and same thing my GI symptoms have not been my main complaint. Histamine and hives were my main complaint. Took me almost 2 years to figure this all out. You blew my mind when you talked about how low stomach acid causes more histamine production!!! Thank you and please make more videos on this topic. Case studies are so helpful!!!!!!

Thank you so much for this !!!! I have been working on my silo issues for years and have never heard some one explain this connection and steps as clearly as you!

I’ve just discovered you and I think you’re amazing! Thank you for sharing your knowledge and in such an easy to understand way 🙏

Thanks so much for putting out this video. You're pretty much the only person on the internet who gave me hope over these last few months, the lightbulb totally went off in my head. I hope this MCAS/histamine thing isn't a life sentence, that diet is pretty hard-core, but I'm willing to do the work to restore my health!

so glad i found this! ive been having symptoms for YEARS, and this finally explains everything. I NEED HELP =[

Great informative video. Clear n easy to comprehend compared to hundreds others I’ve watched/ listened to. I have this frustrating problem outta nowhere… normal drs knew nothing and gaslit me. Put me on steroids to help my dyspnea made my gut worst, now literally allergic to everything! Thankfully I found a functional Dr who after testing diagnosed me with methane sibo. 6 weeks into herbs & supplements whilst on a low histamine diet. I’m ok if I stick to the diet strictly but if I let go I suffer exponentially 🙄 I hope this is curable.

It is nice to finally know why I get instantly sick when I encounter a stressful situation. I take so many supplements now, how much can I take?! It costs a fortune.

Dr Richard you are gifted and i really appreciate you for your detailed explanation.

Excellent information! This is me and it’s hard to find anyone who understands this.

This is making so much sense. Thank you. I really need to try a low histamine diet

One of the best explanations and connections. Thank you

Got this after COVID ☹

I think stress is more controlled by fixing the issues that are causing the stress rather than trying to lower the stress. If a problem exists that’s stressing you out it’s difficult for some to eliminate the stress. I’ve had hives for over 5 months now and it’s causing me stress because I don’t know what is causing them. If they were to go away my stress would go away.

GREAT information! Will be referring my coaching patients to you!

Thanks Dr for this informative video! With all the brain fog I have this was laid out so well to where I could actually understand ❤❤❤

Hi Doc , I left you voicemails. I’m similar to this patient times ten. I’m praying you can help me. I need a happy ending to my documentary we are doing. I have always self healed when Hoag doctors and specialist in OC Calif said I would be dead or disabled years ago. I beat all the odds but I won’t do deugs or surgery and I took my primary all your printed out documents and he didn’t even know what sibo was and of course he says they aren’t real doctors. They have misdiagnosed me for years. But now I’m 5.7 and was 117 now I’m 87 pounds. I can’t hardly eat without vomiting and they say lupus and ulcerative colitis and I have lots of injuries in my spine and neck. I know everything starts at the gut and then this horrible edema that I never had before. My legs and feet got 15 times bigger and I’m very small and the pain was so horrible. But I can’t take supplements because I can’t keep things down. I’m plantbased and my vascular surgeon said I’m protein deficiency and I had a lot of head trauma and then bloodclots now I’m my right leg. My medical records look like a huge book. I always can handle this and I have come back from the dead. But the vomiting even for the little amounts is horrible, brain fog and pain and the gut bloating pain and Constipation, a functional medicine doctor hear had me do stool test and it came back tons of stuff , intestinal parasite, protein deficiency, on and on but he wanted me to just take supplements, and I can’t hold them down. All those and more I have Dr Hagmeyer. I can’t take it anymore and my adrenals are bad the stress sets me off and I’m alone and can’t afford to be disabled because I have my doggy and we lost my finance to Lukemia at only 35 because of toxic mold exposure but he trusted the hospitals and died. I had mold and aespetos exposure in 2016. It’s been a over decade journey Doc and I wish you were here but I want to know what to do and for the first time I’m losing hope because I try to be so strong but when you can’t barely walk and your an athlete and now I’m skin and bones. I do drink a Lot Kombuca, so again I think I just need to start from the very beginning with you. I left voicemails on your website and hopefully talk tomorrow. I like Dr Haymann too but I have been in the wellness and health industry and lost mom to ALS and have been fighting big pharma and medical world most of my life and I beat it but this time I need help because I emotionally and physically can’t do it and I’m starving and want some quality of life. God Bless Tiger D

This is so good!! Thank you!!

Brilliantly elaborated!🌟🗽

Insightful video. The case report displays the complexity of things. There is not one quick fix. I was diagnosed with mastocytosis more than 10yrs ago after 2 anaphylactic reactions. I got super acid stomach, brainfog... Note, histamine can make tired AND alert. Often times I was alert/nervous. But also I could eat a kiwi and go to bed. Brainfog/fatigue got better after starting antihistamines although these can cause fatigue on their own. Despite the medication I started reacting to virtually any food. Even plain water caused weird sensation in the mouth. I read that some people with that condition end up eating only plain rice. In that moment I decided not to end up like this. I started ignoring light symptoms and eat everything unless it causes stronger symptoms. With time I tolerated more and more foods. Half a year ago I even started fermenting veggies. I considered buying one if these non histamine producing probiotics to use it as a starter. But in the end I decided against it. I do wild fermentation on a variety of veggies, with this I believe to get the most diversity. And we know that in diet as well as in the microbiom diversity is key.

Recently I have been diagnosed with Gastroparesis after years of suffering from sibo and histamine intolerance, and now I am learning to manage my symptoms, and I can say I am in much better condition than I was before. And unfortunately there’s nothing else I can do to prevent my histamine intolerance as it’s caused by my gastroparesis.

How do we heal sibo when the foods that heal are high in histamine?

I have morganella morganii and citrobacter freundii. 0 lactobacillus and my Siga was 154, I was told this was low and ideal is 500. Is that true? I also have had the WORST PVCs for the past year. They've ruined my entire life. I found out histamine intolerance can cause pvcs. I swear if I can heal this I will write a book because I've never had a symptom worse than 1000s of skipped heart beats every day. They're so distracting that I didn't even take my other histamine symptoms into consideration. I know I need to kill these infections but since I have 0 lactobacillus I really don't want to kill off by Bifida either. (I think that's what the other good bacteria is called). I also have fat malabsorption. 😭

Looking for answers to what my doc said are chronic hives. I thought the high dose prescribed Zyrtec and Allegra for the hives was making them worse and doc said not possible. Now I believe they were. Fortunately I am on other antihistamines now but am definitely looking into this gut issue.

I am from Germany and my doctor still didnt recognice my histamine issue. Also she didnt care for my d3 deficiency or or other problems, they just dont "believe" in vitamins here. P.S. Mostly you have to go to a natural medicine Healer or Doctor which is very expensive, they do test you for histamine or d3, but not the regular doctors which are covered by insurance

Thank you for mentioning about Germany, great and concise info

Hi Doctor Hagmeyer. Thank you so much for your Video. It's the best one I have ever seen, and I have watched loads. The lady you spoke about, is just like me. I'm 72, and I'm in a dreadful mess with my health. I don't know who to turn to any more. I have seen so many Doctors, had so many tests. Blood tests for a past time. St scan, Petscan, x-ray, ultra sound, so many drugs, antibiotics, PPI, and supplements coming out of my ears. I live in the UK, and to find a functional doctor is almost impossible. But I did have some tests in Harley street. London, several years ago. I tested positive for Methan Sibo. Also adrenal fatigue, mitochondrial dysfunction, and so on. I couldn't take what she prescribed. She wouldn't put me on bioidentical hormones as I had already had breast cancer, from years of HRT and a full hysterectomy at 32, because I had endometriosis. I had breast cancer nearly 8 years ago. The radiotherapy made me ill, and left me with Fibromyalgia. I have lived on pain killers for years because of the dreadful pain I live with every day. Then I went Vegan about 5 years ago, for three years. But I was always bloated, and had flatulence. I started loosing weight for no real reason. About two stone in a few months. My GI Doctor sent me for a CT scan and a pet Scan. It showed the cancer is back and spread to my lungs. I refused any more treatment. I said I feel so ill all the time, I have lost so much weight, hair falling out, skin itching and flaky, and my nails are soft. No one had a clue. So I started researching. In the mean time I got Covid, really bad. It's over a year, and I'm suffering from long Covid. My body is on fire inside and out, and constant itching. I had all this over 40 years ago when I had my hystectomy. Since Covid I have read all about histamine intolerance and mast cell activation. I told my GI Doctor about 4 years ago, that every thing that goes in my stomach makes me ill. I said it's just as if my body is poisoning it's self. He said you have a very bad case of IBS, and you will have to live with it. I'm on antihistamine, and my GP has put me on PPI. She says I have gastritis. She has done more blood tests as my calcium levels are really high. She now thinks it could be my parathyroid gland. She also did typtase levels and other things. I beleave I have sibo, histamine intolerance, and mast cell activation. I also think I have Candida and leaky gut. But things that are recommended for mast cell activation makes me ill. Every day I feel as if I'm dying. I went back to eating animal proteins a boy two years ago. But since covid I'm exhausted all the time. Constant headaches and neck pains. Muscle pains, my joints are always clicking, and my gut is hell. I eat healthy, gave up coffee. I don't drink or smoke. I eat organic when possible. I eat a low histamine diet. I drink two litres of filtered water a day. I drink oat milk. Gluton free, dairy free. I have just stopped fruit all together. I take a few supplements that I can stomach. Most medication and alot of supplements have fillers and binders, which make me ill. My GP is sending me back to my GI Doctor again. But it's going to be a wast of time. My next move is private, a comprehensive stool test, as I can't get this done on the NHS. My GP did test me for H.pylori, which was clear. I'm at my wits end. Every day is a battle to get out of bed or to do any thing. When I eat I don't know how long before I start to feel ill. And what I can eat one day, I react to the next. I'm a Christian, and I pray to God all the time. Then yesterday when searching on RU-vid for some thing, I can across you. Are you my guardian Angel. I don't know if you will get to read this. But I pray you will. I have sent so many messages to doctors over the years. Most have never answered. I hope your not one of them. You are my last hope. God Bless you. Eileen.

I have been going to allergist for over ten years he never mentioned HIT. Now I take DAO. Feeling alot better. Less severe headaches

…great info Dr. Handwaver…so many ways to improve our health…

really detailed informative video. loved it

Wow Richard. What an amazing doc you are. One that has done his research and actually cares about their patients. I wish you practised in Australia. Did I miss the probiotic you suggested for SIBO? Or a safe one for Histamine intolerance? I have found Toxaprevent useful as a binder. Dr Tina Peers has some excellent info too. Thank you doc. Have subscribed.

I have long term hx of drug, food, and airborne allergies- but just was dx with SIBO.

Good information sir 🎉

Great work. ❤️❤️ From great nation INDIA

I cant get doctors to recognize these things he is talking about

Thank you so much! I been having all the symptoms you mentioned on your video with no answers!

Berberine is sometimes used in place of Metformin. Will Berberine deplete DAO to the best of your knowledge? Thank You for your excellent presentation.

Tested no sibo no h pylori! But have hives when eating tigger foods! He says I have candida.

Thanks for the info but OMG how much did this all cost her with all the different meds u pit her on?

Great video. Im amazed

Thank you for such an informative video sir.

My update, I found what I'm allergic to that caused my histamine intolerance to give me hives it was cause by a flavor additive MSG boosters: Ribo Rash (flavour enhancer 635 or ribonucleotides E635, 627, 631)

Is there any chance that LDN could be the cause of histamine intolerance?

Please tell me what is gram negative bacteria ? Pathogens ? Can there be gram positive bad bugs ? .. What is the best natural pro kinetic… ginger or peppermint? Thank you immensely

I have h pylori & rosacea & GERD. Hope to find answers to improve.

Where r u located I need an appointment

How do u heal this if u have acid reflux too?

Thank you for this informative video… do you have a doctor you can refer around the tri state area near nyc?

Using all those supplements sounds easy but from my experience people that have SIBO and Histamine Intolerance including myself react to all kinds of sypplements and drugs! How did you actually handle that?

What about yeast overgrowth? Also lactic acid overproduction in Sibo?

This resonates with me. But! The last GI map showed very high Secretory IgA?? One test showed Hpylori(the other negative) Same with candida. Though I had low good bacteria, and no extremely high levels of any bad bacteria (but they were there). I may consider contacting you.

I have this rash around my stomach just like in your introduction video and it's not itchy, and i've had test done by skin biopsies done, and they say there's nothing they can fine

Can you please post the links you mentioned?

Where are you located?

How about I just do an extended fast? Would that work?

Contacted your office 2 weeks ago via the quick question and never got a response. I want to know if you work with patients virtually?

I am Hemalatha from India. I am suffering from Medicine allergy for the past ten years. Whatever the medicine I am taking I got rashes and hives. So always I have to take tablets with antihistamine only. I am totally hopeless. Your words are gift like thing. Can you please help to get rid of this problem. How can I approach you Dr. Kindly help me.

6) Antibiotics When many of the protective bacteria are killed, other bacteria can proliferate and overgrow, increasing the risk of developing SIBO. Additionally, chronic exposure to antibiotics can lead to drug-resistant bacteria, making SIBO, and other infections, more difficult to treat(9). 1971 3 months of antibiotics and then ......anxiety, insomnia, IBS spastic, colon inflammation and all this went on for 50 years. THEN : monts ago my IBS constipation and SIBO had slowed my motility to a point that will kill you. Then , I studied the studies on " SULFORAPHANE " and ordered Kale powder and Spinach powder from Amazon and mixed this with carrot juice. My gut is working perfectly after 3 weeks. Constupation is gone. " SULFORAPHANE " also kills off cancers .

Could sinusitis , antihistamine intolerance, be linked to the gut?

I have this!!! For sure. What type of doctor should I go to so I can get the treatment?

Dear Dr. Hagmeyer, after listening to your audio 3 times I looked up a leaky gut test with additional sibo and candida testing. That lab also sells probiotika extra for people with histamine issues, do you believe that might work? Like they sell bifido Lacto probiotika and bifido lacto bacteria for people with histamine issues. I wrote them and asked what the excact difference is, no answer yet.

I would like to know how to start adding more veggies to the foods after I have healed or have possibly healed. Is there veggies that are safer than others? Perhaps salad greens because they are low glycemic are a good start? What else?

Sir i have foodallergy specially fron protien , should i have vaccine to get rid from this allergy

How about taking Quercetin?

how do i find a way to start testing and what test should i do for sibo,histamine intolerance.

Please can you tell me the name of the enzyme you used to break down the histamine in food?

So if I suspect that I have bad bacteria in my belly and take good probiotica and prebiotica and resistant starch for the good bacteria, than that is actually bad because the bad bacteria will also eat the resistant starch?

What form of Zinc do you prefer for healing the gut and reducing histamine

Dr. I suspect I have Sibo. I have had H. Pylori in the past but after eradicating H. Pylori I developed autoimmune atrophic gastritis with intestinal metaplasia in the esophagus and in the stomach. So for 7 months I have been struggling with chronic hives. I have extreme gas and bloating, extreme gastritis pain and severe GERD. I have used a lot of antibiotics in my life. Can Sibo cause autoimmunity?

What about a different methyl donor like MSM? Would that be good instead of SAMe?

Did her histamine issues go away?

what was the digestives tablets what helped her please

Awesome

Can histamine intolerance cause hs crp inflammation markers or my high bp? I suffered headaches my whole life from certain foods i ate.

What if my secretory IgA is super high? 3116 mcg/ml

What about having the MTHFR gene

If you fix the root cause. Does it "cure" the histamine intolerance?

Do you think prozac is one of the medications than worsens the whole issue?

Where are you located Dr? I need help!!!

What about psoriasis?

Leaky gut Can cause Is histamine intolerant

Dr. Hagmeyer what do you think aber zeolith to treat a "damaged" microbione?

I started break out on my legs it’s hives

Does an autophogy diiet help?

I am on day 12 of Flagyl for SIBO /constipation. Broke out in bad hives so I had to get steroid shot which barely helped. I’m wondering if the hives are from the SIBO of the medicine.

What would you suggest for people in benzodiazepine withdrawal that are stuck in fight or flight? This’s what almost everyone is suffering with in benzo withdrawal. They even call sibo benzo belly. I’ve tried a lot of supplements like ashwaganda made anxiety worse. My doctor abruptly stopped my med for no reason after I was on it 12 years. I’m so sick now. The cns is super sensitive now. Can’t take stuff that increases glutamate.

You say no canned goods. Does this mean homegrown "canned" foods in glass jars too?

I get atrial fibrillation attacks with histamin. The root cause was my Titan tooth implant, which aktivated my mastcells, because of Titan allergy.

Can it trigger artrial fibrillation?

I'm not able to heal leaky gut with histamine intolerance I have taken probiotics for months I have folliculitis,IBS and aniexty help plz I've tried low histamine diet everything

I’m interested in FMT, would do anything to heal my gut, I already tried a DIY FMT once but it didn’t do anything.

What are symptoms of sibo?

With all due respect neither is a documented fact , why do you have histamine intolerance ? Probably dysbiosis from enfancy so for me the only truth is fmt from a very healthy donor , other than that its just waste of money

Organic Bone Broth have worked for me in many ways.

👏

👍

Just take Betaine HCL and it all goes away. ;)
