Histamine Intolerance

Histamines play an important role in the human immune system. While it is produced by the body itself, it is also found in numerous foods. Histamine can become a problem when the body’s enzymes cannot break it down quickly enough. In this case, symptoms, such as itching, reddening of the skin, headaches, but also nausea, vomiting, stomach pains, or diarrhoea, can develop after consuming foods containing histamines. Histamine intolerance is the body’s negative reaction to some histamine-containing foods. Currently, reliable methods of diagnosing histamine intolerance are the subject of hot scientific debate. As the amount of histamines in food varies greatly, based on level of processing and length of storage, it is almost impossible to give specific recommendations about individual foods. While there are recommendations about which foods should be avoided, the reliability of the data on this matter is controversial.
