estrogen & histamine have a (I like to call it) “toxic relationship” 🫠
estrogen increases histamine & histamine increases estrogen 🔄 (which is a viscous cycle potentially making your hormone imbalances wayyy worse)
Aka estrogen dominance where estrogen > progesterone & symptoms include:
irregular periods
irritability
mood swings
weight struggles
acne
bloating
abnormal digestive issues
Alsooo having too high of histamine comes with its own fun set of problems including:
headaches
fatigue
brain fog
skin rash
hives
painful menstrual cramps
food intolerances
gut issues like bloating, pain, and diarrhea
symptoms may worsen around where estrogen is highest like ovulation & luteal! If you ever get “period flu” definitely see an immunologist for histamine testing!
ALSO gut infections or overgrowths of certain bacteria can lead to increased histamine release + decreased ability to metabolize estrogen which leads to estrogen dominance 🥲
So… WHAT can you do:
Experiment w your lifestyle & see if making any of these changes helps —
Increase fiber intake: removes access estrogen (20-35g recommended daily)
Consider reducing high histamine foods: avocado, fermented food, hard cheeses, vinegar, & triggers like cocoa, citrus, tomatoes (see if you feel any better & if not add them back in!)
Prioritize vitamin B6: chicken, beef liver, fish
Reduce Alcohol: high in histamine + crashes hormones
Reduce Stress: a given 🥹
Gut health: I have lots of gut health tips on my feed
Prioritize vitamin C: eat yo 🍊🥝🫐🍒
Nettle tea: contains quercetin which stabilizes histamine releasing cells
histamine is something to look into if you’ve been dealing w hormone imbalances or gut issues & can’t figure out why!
Hope this helps u glow ✨
