Histamine Intolerance is a condition which is little known and, as yet, rarely spoken about. However, it is thought to affect millions - most of whom are unaware they have it.
“I have personal experience of this challenging condition as my youngest daughter has suffered from symptoms caused by Histamine Intolerance since birth. We only diagnosed the condition in 2016 after a particularly severe episode caused by eating super-foods in an attempt to try to ‘feel better’.”
High levels of histamine can also cause the Mast Cells to become sensitive and release even more histamine into the body. This is Mast Cell Activation Disorder and responds to mast cell stabilisers. This occurs in about 20% of people with Histamine Intolerance.
