I was recently tested by an allergist for food allergies, which all came back with normal test results. But that doesn't explain the random hives and rashes I experience, or hot flashes after I eat certain foods. I've have digestive problems, hormone problems, eczema, anxiety, nausea, hives my whole life and also have a thyroid disorder that's been going on for 20 years now. But, no allergist, endocrinologist, nutritionist, or gastroenterologist has ever diagnosed me with what I think I have: a histamine intolerance.

Basically, I am vitamin and nutrient deficient, and as a result, my gut and liver can't break down the foods I eat because neither has the right kind or enough of the right kind of enzymes (I think, anyway).

I think I have a histamine intolerance to certain foods. All foods excrete histamine, some foods excrete more histamine than others and your gut is supposed to break down food histamine with enzymes in the gut and the liver. But some people have problems with that process.

Does anyone here relate? If so, how have you been tested? What steps have you taken to heal your gut? I could use the advice. I'm supposed to see my gastroenterologist in two weeks. I want to go to the appointment with some more information about histamine intolerance. I already emailed my allergist about getting tested for it. What else can I do?
