Overview

Have you ever experienced unexplained allergy-like symptoms, digestive issues, or persistent fatigue? It could be histamine intolerance, a condition that’s more common than you think. 

In this episode of The Doctor’s Farmacy, Dr. Elizabeth Boham joins me to examine real patient stories, dive deep into the gut-brain connection, and share how you can manage histamine intolerance through personalized treatments, stress management, and gut health optimization. Whether it’s genetic or lifestyle-related, histamine intolerance doesn’t have to be a lifelong battle. 

In this episode, we discuss:

  • The common symptoms of histamine intolerance

  • The importance of the DAO enzyme

  • Why stress and gut health are key triggers

  • The difference between histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)
