When taken with meals, Histamine Digest helps break down histamine found in foods and drinks. Histamine will be at a healthy level which helps eliminate feelings related to histamine intolerance.†‡
When taken on an empty stomach, Histamine Digest helps break down histamine produced from the microbiome or your gut’s immune system. †
This is a great idea to try: Take 1 capsule of Histamine Digest on an empty stomach to see if you feel better within 30 minutes.
Why would this be useful? High amounts of histamine are produced by an unhealthy microbiome, or an overactive gut immune system.
If you feel better, continue using Histamine Digest on an empty stomach as needed. Histamine Digest supports a healthy balance of histamine in the gut.†
Histamine Digest may support healthy levels of histamine within the small intestine, colon, kidneys, uterus, appendix, placenta, prostate, or testicles. This is very important as unhealthy levels of histamine within these areas contribute to problems locally or throughout the body.†
Children 4 years of age and older may use Histamine Digest. You may need to open the small capsule and mix in a bite of applesauce if they cannot swallow the small capsule.
Breastfeeding women may use Histamine Digest. Histamine gets absorbed from the gut and into breastmilk. If breastmilk has higher levels of histamine, the breastfeeding baby may experience colic. Infant colic is associated with higher levels of histamine. Support healthy levels of histamine in your breastmilk by taking Histamine Digest.†
Pregnant women may use Histamine Digest if approved by their healthcare professional. Occasional nausea and vomiting of pregnancy is associated with high levels of histamine. Levels of histamine in a healthy pregnancy decrease below values found in healthy non-pregnant women. This is because the placenta is designed to produce a lot of the DAO enzyme. However, sometimes the levels of histamine exceed the ability of the placenta’s DAO enzyme to digest histamine.
In some complications of pregnancy, maternal blood histamine levels rise above those associated with a healthy pregnancy. Many of the complications of pregnancy, including preeclampsia, preterm labour, spontaneous abortion and hyperemesis gravidarum, are associated with increased levels of maternal blood histamine. Supporting healthy levels of maternal blood histamine levels during pregnancy, especially during such complications, may be helpful.†

Dr. Lynch's Tips
Important Note:
Histamine Digest is very effective for providing the DAO enzyme immediately to support your digestive system.
†
Histamine Digest is known as a palliative supplement. It helps you feel great but it doesn't solve the underlying problem. †
Ultimately, you want your body’s DAO enzyme to function well on its own. It takes time to figure out how to heal your gut, restore your microbiome and balance your immune system. Work with a naturopathic physician or integrative health professional to help you work through these areas.
It’s possible to experience relief now. Use Histamine Digest so you can immediately enjoy feeling healthy, instead of struggling, when consuming foods or drinks high in histamine.†
Over time, as you work on healing your gut, restoring your healthy microbiome and balancing your immune system, you’ll likely need less Histamine Digest to support healthy histamine metabolism.†
Change in bowel frequency may occur from using Histamine Digest.
High amounts of histamine in the gut are associated with loose stools or diarrhea. Low amounts of histamine are associated with constipation. Since Histamine Digest supports healthy histamine levels, if one takes too much, it may contribute to harder to pass stools.
If stools become harder to pass, only use Histamine Digest when eating foods or drinks with histamine.
If you continue having harder to pass stools, then stop using Histamine Digest and consume a histamine-containing drink like kombucha. If you now can pass stools normally again, then you know you may have taken too much Histamine Digest. Adjust your use as needed.
Note that your use of Histamine Digest will reduce as you restore a healthy gut lining and a healthy gut microbiome.
This is why it’s highly recommended to use ProBiota HistaminX each evening after dinner. Probiota HistaminX supports a healthy gut microbiome.†
