So frustrating. Had this since the 80’s or longer. Undiagnosed. Dismissed like a ‘complaining woman’. All in your head.

I hate when sites offer quizzes, but they won't give you the answers unless you give them your email. Marketing scam!

What deficiencies (or factors...?) create histamine intolerance?
Not necessarily high histamine in blood - or lack of DAO - with these being normal, what else can cause an issue with histamine that seems like it's overflowing all the time (food intolerances, issues with high Hst foods, sun exposure intolerance, etc.) ?

I have been dealing with this for almost 5 years. No doctor ever mentioned that histamine was the issue.

I have poor methylation. My body doesn't convert methionine into s-adenasyl-methionine very well.
I've noticed I have intolerance to very much sulfur and also histamine foods. The brain fog, fatigue and depression can be overwhelming.
Is simply avoiding high sulfur and histamine foods the best approach? Or maybe increase nutrition that supports DAO?

My sinus problem gets worse the more vitamin c or d I take, in fact Anything I take makes it worse especially anti histamines
