It lowers blood histamine levels. And they asked the question, how does it do that? And as they unpacked that, what they discovered from a scientific perspective is that actually it was healing the gut barrier that was preventing the histamine from getting into the blood. So what you want to do is you want to lower your histamine intake, and then you want to focus on healing your gut.

And that's how you approach that specific issue, histamine intolerance.

Exactly. And you want to get yourself to a place of being asymptomatic. Now, I don't want to sit here and make it sound like the fact that you get symptoms is the end of the world. It's not. But let's also acknowledge what's happening here, which is that your normal physiology is being disrupted by this food, right? So it's not just benign symptoms. It's disruption of your physiology.

So we don't want to allow ourselves to remain in a place where we're just sort of enduring these symptoms. You did the right thing. You got to reduce your intake to get yourself into the safe zone. And again, you're never going to be zero histamine. That doesn't exist, right? So what you're doing is you're just getting into the safe zone where you're no longer having symptoms.

I have a question about that.

So it's true that when we cook our food and then we store our food, you are building histamines. It will be slower when you put it directly into the fridge as opposed to having it sitting on your counter, as an example. But the flip side of that, though, is actually... So let's assume that you're asymptomatic, that you can eat that rice with a cup and a half and feel perfectly fine.

Zero concerns for histamine. Here's the flip side of what you just did, though. You took a starchy food and you cooked it, heated it up, and then you placed it into your fridge and you cooled it down. The way it tastes, I'm sure you would agree, I'm sure your listeners would agree too, is not exactly the same anymore.
