OESTROGEN DOMINANCE is a major cause of histamine

OESTROGEN DOMINANCE is a major cause of histamine intolerance.

One of the main causes of oestrogen dominance is carrying too much weight and obesity.

Having a healthy microbiome and SCFA production is important for maintaining normal blood sugar levels and preventing overeating which are essential for maintaining a healthy weight 👍

HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE can be helped by supporting

HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE can be helped by supporting the production of short chain fatty acids (SFCA). 👌

HISTAMINE LEVELS in your gut can be influenced by

HISTAMINE LEVELS in your gut can be influenced by levels of short chain fatty acids (SCFA).

HISTAMINE breakdown via methylation requires meth

HISTAMINE breakdown via methylation requires methylfolate.

Our incredible microbiome can actually synthesise folate, adding to our overall folate levels.

The MTHFR enzyme adds a methyl group to the folate we absorb from our diet through the small intestine and the folate we get from large intestine bacteria. This creates methylfolate!!

Methylfolate is a key nutrient in methylation which breaks down histamine 👍

HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE can result from an unhealthy

HISTAMINE INTOLERANCE can result from an unhealthy gut microbiome.

B vitamins are so essential to the health of gut bacteria that they actually synthesise their own B vitamins to support their own growth and survival.

By doing this, they also benefit the host (us), as a healthy microbiome contributes significantly to our overall health.

A HEALTHY MICROBIOME CAN PROTECT YOU FROM TOO MUCH

A HEALTHY MICROBIOME CAN PROTECT YOU FROM TOO MUCH HISTAMINE!
⠀
The microbiome is not only impressive in size (it contains trillions of microorganisms!) but it also rivals the liver in its importance to human health. ⠀
⠀
We supply nutrients for the microbiome to grow and replicate and provide it with a protected space to flourish. In return, the microbiome provides us with many health benefits. ⠀
⠀
SWIPE through this post to see the top 5 benefits of the microbiome and how they are related to histamine!!

WE NEED TO LOOK AFTER OUR MICROBIOME AS ITS ESSENT

WE NEED TO LOOK AFTER OUR MICROBIOME AS ITS ESSENTIAL FOR OUR HEALTH 🤗

DIET: What you eat has direct impact on your microbiome. A healthy microbiome prefers an alkaline pH over acidic. Vegetables are alkalising and high in non-digestible fibres that feed beneficial bacteria. Processed foods are low in fibre thus inhibit beneficial bacteria growth and provide 'opportunity' for opportunistic bacteria to thrive. Furthermore, processed foods are inflammatory - often high in sugar, artificial ingredients, refined carbohydrates and trans-fat - all of which negatively impact the microbiome⠀
⠀
ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS: Lifestyle and exposure to pollutants impact the composition of the microbiome. For example, regular exercise is associated with more diverse and healthier microbiomes while poor sleep patterns have been shown to cause subtle changes in composition. Environmental pollutants such as pesticides have a negative impact on the microbiome. Studies have revealed beneficial bacteria such as Enterococcus faecalis, Enterococcus faecium, Bifidobacterium adolescentis and Lactobacillus sp. are moderately to highly susceptible to the pesticide glyphosate.⠀
⠀
EARLY MICROBIAL EXPOSURE: Mode of delivery contributes to the acquisition of the microbiota. Babies born via vaginal delivery are exposed to their mother’s bacteria at birth influencing microbiota diversity. The microbiome of babies delivered via caesarean section resembles that of the mother’s skin. Breastfeeding further establishes microbiota diversity.⠀
⠀
STRESS: The sympathetic nervous system drives the ‘flight or fight’ response. When the body is in this mode, motility and gastrointestinal secretions are inhibited, this then alters the microbiome and ultimately its composition and function. For example, stress inhibits the release of Hydrochloric acid (HCl). HCl has acidic and antimicrobial properties that kill pathogens. Furthermore, the release of HCl signals pancreatic secretions. Pancreatic secretions not only aid digestion but are alkalising and help maintain the colonic pH.⠀
⠀
ANTIBIOTICS: Antibiotic exposure significantly decreases bacterial diversity and thus alters the health of the microbiome

Signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal dysbiosis d

Signs and symptoms of gastrointestinal dysbiosis differ between individuals. Any one of these symptoms can indicate gastrointestinal dysbiosis which can lead to histamine intolerance. ⠀
⠀
To be sure of the cause of your symptoms requires testing. These tests reveal the presence and type of gastrointestinal dysbiosis. This is very important as the results will direct treatment. ⠀
⠀
An example is the SIBO 3 hour Breath Test - this measures the levels of hydrogen and methane gases released by microorganisms inhabiting the small intestine resulting in a positive or negative SIBO test results. Whereas, a Comprehensive Stool Analysis is used to determine the levels of beneficial bacteria, pathogenic bacteria and presence of intestinal parasites or yeast in the large intestine. Testing allows for the validation of our diagnosis and guides the treatment plan.
