Why Choose the Histamine Intolerance Report?
The Histamine Intolerance Report is an essential tool for identifying genetic factors that impact your ability to break down and regulate histamine levels. By understanding how your body processes histamine, this report helps you address symptoms effectively and prevent histamine overload.
Who Should Get This Test Done?
- Individuals experiencing unexplained allergic-like symptoms such as skin irritation or breathing difficulties.
- Those suffering from digestive issues, migraines, or persistent headaches.
- People dealing with insomnia, anxiety, or other symptoms potentially linked to histamine imbalance.
- Anyone with a history of gastrointestinal conditions or sensitivity to foods like alcohol, fermented items, or teas.
For Which Symptoms?
- Skin irritation or rashes
- Breathing difficulties similar to allergic reactions
- Digestive problems (bloating, nausea, or cramps)
- Headaches or migraines
- Insomnia or disrupted sleep patterns
- Anxiety or restlessness
Which Health Issues Can This Report Help Prevent?
- Chronic digestive conditions exacerbated by histamine imbalance.
- Persistent allergic-like symptoms caused by histamine overload.
- Histamine-related headaches or migraines.
- Long-term complications from unmanaged histamine intolerance, such as chronic inflammation or nervous system disruptions.
What the Histamine Intolerance Report Analyses
The Histamine Intolerance Report examines genetic variants and factors affecting histamine regulation:
- Histamine Breakdown in the Gut:
- Analyses the role of diamine oxidase (DAO), responsible for breaking down histamine in the digestive system, and identifies impairments due to genetic or environmental factors like alcohol or fermented foods.
- Histamine Breakdown in the Nervous System and Lungs:
- Evaluates the activity of histamine-N-methyltransferase (HNMT), which regulates histamine in the nervous system and respiratory pathways.
- Disruptive Factors:
- Identifies nutrient deficiencies or environmental blockers (e.g., certain medications, alcohol, or teas) that interfere with histamine metabolism.
