Histame has a very different function than antihistamines. Antihistamines tie up histamine receptors so that they can't bind with histamine (which effectively prevents the histamine/histamine receptor pairs from completing a reaction). Histame (or DAO) does not block histamine receptors, it only purges free (unattached) histamine from the system.

You're correct though, in that the action of Histame probably has no other effect on the immune system, so it shouldn't cause any adverse actions that might result in undesirable side effects.
