What is histamine intolerance?

Histamine intolerance is a condition where the body struggles to break down histamine from foods, which can lead to gastrointestinal discomfort and allergy-like symptoms.Histamine is a natural compound produced by the immune system as part of inflammatory responses.

Some foods naturally contain high levels of histamine, including:

  • Red wine
  • Certain fruits and vegetables
  • Aged cheese
  • Fish
  • Salami
  • Leftover food, where histamine can accumulate if bacteria are allowed to grow

Common signs associated with histamine intolerance

Histamine intolerance occurs when the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), responsible for breaking down histamine, is insufficient. This is not an allergy but can cause symptoms such as:

  • Itching
  • Eczema
  • Digestive discomfort
  • Nasal congestion or runny nose
  • Headache
  • Respiratory discomfort
  • Fatigue
  • Sensitivity affecting the central nervous system

Histamine intolerance and probiotics

Managing histamine intolerance often involves avoiding histamine-rich foods and supporting balance in the gut environment. Probiotics and dietary adjustments may be part of this approach.

Selecting the right probiotic is essential, as some strains may produce histamine.
None of the five probiotic strains in GutMagnific have the capability to produce histamine. This has been confirmed through rigorous genetic analysis of each strain, ensuring they do not carry the genetic pathways necessary for histamine production.

For individuals with histamine intolerance or sensitivity, GutMagnific offers a safe and well-characterized option, providing support for the gut environment without contributing to elevated histamine levels.

Testimonials

The probiotic I tried from you works well despite histamine intolerance.

Cecilia

Improved histamine intolerance.

Klara

The gut is more balanced, less problems with a swollen gut. Have tried several similar products that I have not been able to stand. I feel that my hypersensitivity to histamine has improved a little.

Vivki

I suffer from severe ME, severe histamine intolerance. I’m also sensitive to salicylates and lots of other foods. Most other probiotics have only caused problems. God knows how much money I have wasted! GutMagnific is the only probiotic that works. My gut calms down, I'm less sensitive, I get fewer migraines, and I've even been able to eat almonds and zucchini again! Incredible!

Alexandra

I have tried most probiotic supplements available on the Swedish market. GutMagnific is one of the few that has truly helped my IBS stomach. My stomach has become calmer and more stable since I started taking GutMagnific, and I feel like it is recovering more and more.

Alexander

Can't honestly believe/dare this to be true. Already after about 2 weeks of your probiotics, and I feel so much less bloated and less allergies/sensitivities. This is yes. I dare not say too much yet haha. But it feels completely unreal. So fingers crossed now thanks!
