Unpacking histamines – gut, hormones, trauma & the body’s call for safety
Histamine symptoms aren’t just about food. They’re a sign your body is overwhelmed.
Histamine is a natural part of your immune system, gut, brain, and hormones.
But when your detox pathways, gut lining, or nervous system are under stress, histamine builds up — and symptoms follow.
Think – flushing, bloating, anxiety, insomnia, headaches, itchiness, PMS, and food reactions.
The root isn’t always histamine itself.
It’s what’s driving the overload, for example
Gut dysbiosis
Estrogen dominance
Nutrient depletion
Vagus nerve dysfunction
Liver congestion
Trauma and chronic stress
This is not an overreaction — it’s your body asking for regulation, not restriction.
Healing begins by supporting the systems underneath — not just cutting out foods.
