Hi all
I'm wondering about this one and I'm going to bang on about histamine again and the link between oestrogen raising histermine and vice versa.
Excess histamine is released into the stomach and gut etc and when levels get too high it causes body inflammation, reflux, IBS etc.
H2 blockers for the stomach are like hens teeth at the mo and I don't think PPIS do much if that is the cause (certainly not in my experience, I was the same with or without them). H1 blocking antihistamines are working pretty good for me along with watching what I'm eating (lots of info around re low histermine diet). I don't want to be taking them all the time though for sure, only to calm things down. They seem to be safe and are v cheap from supermarkets so it might be worth a try? They don't reduce histermine just block the symptoms so you'd need to change diet etc too I'm afraid.
HRT is tricky to get right if histermine is a problem for you, which is v annoying!!!!!
