Curing Histamine Intolerance
Are certain foods triggering your unwanted symptoms?
Similar to allergies and food sensitivities, histamine intolerance may be another cause of your adverse food reactions. However, histamine intolerance is not well understood by most people and can be tricky to diagnosis.
In this article, we’ll explain this condition in simple terms and discuss if there is truly a method for curing histamine intolerance.

Histamine is a chemical that has many functions in the body. It is found naturally in certain foods and is best known for its powerful actions during an allergic or inflammatory reaction.
However, what is histamine intolerance? Despite the name, histamine intolerance is not an “intolerance” to histamine. Rather, histamine intolerance occurs when you have too much histamine than your body is able to effectively break down (1).
The main enzyme in your body responsible for breaking down histamine is called diamine oxidase (DAO).
