health nerds – The podcast üabout species-appropriate living
Intolerance to the tissue hormone histamine has long been less popular than lactose or fructose intolerance, for example. However, in Germany alone, 2 million people suffer from histamine intolerance. The substance plays a crucial role in many digestive processes and is an important mediator in inflammatory reactions, among other things.
Sufferers of intolerance can experience symptoms such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea, nausea, skin irritation, dizziness, headaches, palpitations and sometimes even shortness of breath and circulatory problems. These often occur directly after eating.
In histamine intolerance, the relationship between the breakdown of histamine, its production in the body and its intake through food is not in balance,
says Matthias Baum from the HEALTH NERDS science team.
What can those affected do? Can a histamine intolerance be tested? And why are women affected significantly more often than men? HEALTH NERDS. Man, simply explained.
