"How do I know if I have Histamine Intolerance?"

There are some tests for Histamine Intolerance, however none are regarded as particularly accurate as the levels of histamine in your body fluctuate all the time - with different foods, at different times of day and so on.

Thankfully, there is one way you can find out quickly if you are suffering from Histamine Intolerance. This is actually what I did, and I started to notice an improvement pretty quickly.

• Follow the Low Histamine Diet for three days. Give it a go. If you feel considerably better, and if your symptoms start to calm down, then you want to investigate further. It’s as simple as that.

Head over to my Low Histamine Diet page, and just eat the foods in green for three days. Don’t worry if it seems quite a restrictive list, as you can always reintroduce certain foods later on.

The Three-Day Easy Low Histamine Diet

Broadly speaking, you want to avoid for three days;

• Fermented foods

• Avocados

• Chocolate

• Fish

• Leftovers

• Citrus

• Cheeses

• Alcohol

And see how you go. If you want to really ramp up this test, you could even take a supplement to help reduce your histamine levels at the same time, like Quercetin.

As always, check with your practitioner before starting any new diet or supplement regime. And let me know how you get on.
