Histamine intolerance<\/a> is a complex metabolic disorder in which the body cannot break down histamine efficiently. This leads to a variety of symptoms<\/a>, including headaches, skin reactions, digestive problems, circulatory problems and respiratory symptoms. The treatment of histamine intolerance requires a combination of a targeted diet, supportive medication and a healthy lifestyle. As the tolerance of foods varies greatly from person to person, it is important to take time to change your diet and determine your own tolerance level through a structured test phase. In most cases, a long-term balanced diet that is adapted to individual needs can significantly reduce or even completely prevent symptoms. <\/p>\n\n

Recognizing and treating histamine intolerance<\/h2>\n\n

Diagnosing histamine intolerance<\/a> is not always easy, as the symptoms vary from person to person and can be confused with other intolerances. An essential step in therapy is therefore to keep a symptom diary<\/strong> to determine which foods and lifestyle habits trigger symptoms. One possible cause of histamine intolerance is a deficiency of certain nutrients such as copper and vitamin C<\/strong>, which play a central role in the breakdown of histamine. It may therefore make sense to first have your copper levels tested by a doctor and, if necessary, to balance them with a supplement. <\/p>\n\n

Vitamin C has been shown to support the breakdown of histamine, which is why a targeted intake can help to reduce symptoms. In addition to the nutrient supply, it should also be checked whether any medication taken inhibits the activity of the DAO enzyme (diamine oxidase) or MAO, which are responsible for the breakdown of histamine in the body, among other things. <\/p>\n\n

Dietary changes as a central therapy<\/h2>\n

\"Therapy<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n

One of the most effective measures for treating histamine intolerance is to change your diet in three phases<\/strong>. The first step consists of a so-called elimination diet<\/strong>which usually lasts 10 to 14 days. During this time, foods containing high amounts of biogenic amines are strictly avoided in order to find out which foods are problematic and to alleviate the symptoms. <\/p>\n\n

The following foods should be avoided during elimination diet:<\/h3>\n\n
