Suffering From Migraines, Anxiety, Depression or Fatigue? You May Be Histamine Intolerant

After a holiday season filled with chocolate, copious red wine and even a christmas cookie or two, I was slammed with a series of migraine headaches — while also enduring ongoing nausea, depression and extreme fatigue for several days. The aftermath shouldn’t have come as any great shock, especially since I’ve known for years the effect these types of foods can have on my overall well-being. What might be surprising is the reason why: histamine.

Histamine in and of itself isn’t bad. It’s when we’re overloaded with this naturally occurring chemical that we can run into trouble. You may have heard of histamine in relation to allergies, mainly because it plays a key role in triggering an inflammatory response to pollen, mold or food. It’s the body’s way of defending itself against a perceived “invader.” But when the response goes haywire, or we take in too much through food and drink, it can cause severe symptoms — from hives and rashes, to headaches, depression and schizophrenia. The good news is that it’s possible to ease the sensitivity through diet and lifestyle choices, so that we can enjoy greater emotional and physical health.
