Treating Allergies
Seasonal allergies, environmental allergies, and food allergies all share one thing in common: Histamine overproduction and intolerance. Typically a special type of white blood cells called mast cells release histamine, which signals to the body to start creating inflammation. Unfortunately, the inflammation affects all parts of the body, not just one.
Why you should always be proactive
Avoiding triggers may be one strategy for mitigating an allergic response, but a daily preventative strategy to minimize histamine production in the body seems to be the most thoughtful approach. Most histamine in the body is made in the intestine by microbes. So gut health plays an outsized role in mitigating and preventing allergies.
Symptoms
Depending on your allergies you can experience:
- Fatigue, Brain fog, and Exhaustion
- Sinus pressure
- Swelling and Sweating
- Itching or Pain
- Asthma or Trouble breathing
- Dry or watery eyes
- Food Intolerance and Belly Pain
- Redness of the Skin and Hives
- Trouble swallowing and throat pain
- Abdominal bloating
Diagnosis
Allergies can be a tough one, because you may have first encountered them many years ago. The symptoms are often changing, and sometimes without a noticeable pattern. A variety of tests are available to further understand the root cause.
Allergy Testing- frequently end up with many false test results Blood Testing- will sometimes point to the levels of eosinophil in the blood Food Sensitivity Testing- also frequently end up with many false test results Environmental, Mold testing- Stool studies.To look for Candida, bacterial overgrowth.
These tests in general yield mixed results because of the always-changing histamine levels in the bloodstream. The results are also often confounded if you have recently taken allergy medications.
Allergy tests frequently misidentify the root cause, and do not produce a reliable strategy for overcoming allergies, without a need for taking medications, for good. A more comprehensive and thoughtful approach to histamine overproduction involves addressing all components of inflammation in the body and can be done quite easily with the right guidance.
