Histamine Intolerance | Allergies | Low Histamine Diet for Covid Patients

Histamine intolerance is caused by an imbalance between stored histamine and the ability to degrade it. Histamine is a biogenic amine that can be found in varying amounts in a variety of foods. Dietary histamine is promptly detoxified by amine oxidases in healthy people, while people with low amine oxidase activity are at danger of histamine toxicity. The major enzyme responsible for the metabolism of histamine is diamine oxidase (DAO). DAO is thought to be responsible for scavenging extracellular histamine following mediator release. Long haulers and Covid patients should both be on a low histamine diet. A low histamine diet comprises limiting intake of foods high in histamine for 2-4 weeks to observe if symptoms improve, followed by a gradual reintroduction approach to determine tolerance level. The list of items to avoid is extensive, and sticking to it for any length of time can be challenging, especially if the person is already unwell.
