Do you experience reactions to foods, even though you seem to be eating a healthy, natural diet?
Do you have symptoms like digestive distress, skin rashes, headaches or other allergy-like symptoms?
Well, today, I'll tell you about a little-known-compound that may be the culprit behind your food sensitivities and symptoms.
That compound is called histamine, and it's present even in healthy, all-natural foods.
You've probably heard of histamine before in relation to allergies (think anti-histamines which act against allergies).
Histamine is a highly inflammatory compound and, although it occurs naturally, many people become intolerant to foods which are high in histamine.
This intolerance is exactly what can cause you to experience your food sensitivities and other symptoms!
In fact, histamine intolerance can even be the underlying issue behind irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)!
The Good News
The good news is that histamine intolerance can be controlled very quickly, simply by eliminating high histamine foods from the diet and focussing on low histamine foods instead.
There are many benefits of following a low histamine diet, including:
Fast relief from a variety of symptoms (commonly occurs within 1-2 weeks)
Understand exactly which foods are causing a reaction
No guess work - I've listed all restricted and allowed foods!
As someone who personally suffered from histamine intolerance, I put together the web's most comprehensive histamine intolerance foods list around, so that you can experience fast relief as well!
