Eating Low Histamine....making a difference

Erica P-G · Post by **Erica P-G** » Mon Mar 18, 2019 5:43 pm

Three years ago it was all about how to help the intestinal wall heal, and how to get it to a stable point so that simple ingredient food was tolerated every day so as to not go into a flare.

Now all that hard work has pressed me into another direction.....how to keep inflammation down in the joints/Lymph nodes, and the nose from just spontaneously running for no reason, or the gut from bloating even after being kind to it.

It has come down to controlling my histamine now.....I have newly gone on a low histamine diet (it's not 100% perfect) and I am seeing results. Ironically a lot of the safe foods for our diet in the beginning are also in this Low Histamine diet too.

I haven't cut anything out of my diet, I still take Magnesium, VitD, B6, zinc 15mg/copper 1mg, S.Boulardii, and my Nano Silver religiously every day and now that my body can handle more VitC I am chewing 500mg in the morning and I can tolerate L-Cysteine w/500mg VitC at evening time too.

I keep watching how I managed thru it all to get to this point...and I am finding there are stages of healing, but they are hard to detect and treat when each of us are so different, that is why it is so hard to orchestrate a detailed healing plan with MC/LC/CC. No Dr is capable of pinpointing a treatment plan due to these erratic stages....it is a game of chance and that is why it is so hard for any of us to get information we desperately need while in the early stages of healing.

Erica,

Above is a link to a histamine and tyramine restricted diet. It helped me after my diagnosis of Mastocytic Enterocolitis. I have had to dig it out again, as over time I have gotten somewhat away from it. Now that I have dropped grain from my diet, histamine issues have come to the forefront again, so I dug into my files and found it.

I so identify with your struggles - as you say, we go through stages of healing. Nothing is straight forward when it comes to MC. Wishing you all the best as you continue on your healing journey.

Love,
Kari

Thanks Kari,
I remember seeing this a Long time ago, I will re-study it again, maybe something will pop out at me that I can tweak!

I wish you well this season too...I can't believe we have to struggle during Springs and Falls....I shake my head a lot

Love & Hugs,
Erica
