Yeah. Well, again, we talked on the last podcast about the role of leaky gut in the microbiome. Interestingly, when you have dysbiosis, some of the bacteria will actually cause more of your body to produce excess amounts of histamine.

So that's another thing where when the histamine is in excess in the digestive tract, that can be related to food consumption, which are high foods in the histamine, or the bacteria are actually causing the breakdown of histidine as an amino acid to go into histamine. So dysbiosis is one of the things that can trigger excess amounts of histamine.

Crazy.

Well, you can measure histamine in the blood. You can also measure tryptase, which is another marker for mast cell activation. You can also measure, there's another test, which in my preparation for this, I've not measured, I haven't found the lab that does it, but it can be measured as N-methyl histamine, which is a breakdown product of histamine. That is another one that can be done.

And then, again, I think one of the tests for me is dermatographism. I find that a very helpful clinical test to determine if a person's mast cells in interstitial spaces are overly reactive and releasing lots of histamine.

Yes. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah.

Yes. Yeah.

Yes. So DAO is a diamine oxidase. So this is an enzyme that our body has and it helps to break down histamine. So histamine has to be, you know, consumed, it's used, and then it has to be detoxified. And if this enzyme is lacking in a person for whatever reasons, the enzyme may be turned off. you will have problems with detoxifying histamine, especially in the gut.
