I haven't actually been diagnosed with anything so I don't know exactly what my problem is, but i have been taking Histame, and it definitely helps my digestive problems. It's not cheap, but it's worth a try. I hope things get better for you! ps (I discovered that taking it immediately after eating ...

After reading about mastocytic enterocolitis, it does definitely seem like a possibility. I have been taking benadryl again, and so far every time I've taken it with a meal, I have not had any gas/pain/bloating (this hasn't happened in years!) I read that antihistamines would not help with gastroint...

i didn't mention the itching or swelling; those are important symptoms for HIT, but compared to the other symptoms, they don't bother me as much. My entire body gets itchy. Sometimes my hands and feet swell, and it can be pretty painful. The last time it happened (which is what caused me to find out...

Thanks! I already ordered Histame a few days ago, but it hasn't arrived yet. I don't know of any doctors who know about HIT. I found out about it on my own and began the low-histamine diet. I've spent the past 4 years pointlessly going to doctor after doctor who has no idea what's wrong with me. Cut...

I should rephrase my last post. I DON'T THINK that it's mastocytic enterocolitis. I have had a colonoscopy with biopsy, and, since mastocytic enterocolitis is more well known, I would think that it would have been checked for. That involves inflammation, doesn't it? No inflammation was found.

Thanks for your replies. It's not mastocytic enterocolitis. I haven't actually been diagnosed with HIT (it seems no doctors in the U.S. have ever even heard of it), but I have had debilitating health problems for several years, and after only a couple days of eliminating high-histamine foods and his...

Histamine Intolerance

Hi,

I just found out that I have histamine intolerance (HIT). I've seen it mentioned a couple times throughout the forum. There is so little information about it that I'm having trouble figuring out what I can safely eat. Does anyone know if sorghum flour is high-histamine? thanks!
