If You Destroy Your Gut Health, This is the 1st Thing that Happens

Gut health is everything ❤

As someone with Long Covid and Mast cell activation syndrome, histamine intolerance is huge.

### Key Insights: 1. Histamine intolerance is a common issue for people with poor gut health, affecting 30-55% of those with gut problems compared to only 1% of the general population. 2. Symptoms of histamine intolerance can include pain, discomfort, congestion, bloating, joint issues, and breathing difficulties. 3. Poor gut health leads to a deficiency in the enzyme DAO, which is responsible for breaking down histamine in the body. 4. Alcohol consumption significantly degrades gut barrier function and increases histamine release. 5. Instead of just avoiding histamine-rich foods, it's important to address the root cause of gut health issues. 6. Strategies to improve gut health and histamine tolerance include: - Consuming collagen or bone broth - Reducing intake of polysorbate 20 and 80 (found in processed foods) - Introducing small amounts of soluble fiber - Ensuring adequate protein intake - Staying hydrated - Temporarily reducing sugar consumption 7. Reducing histamine intake temporarily can help the body produce more of the enzyme needed to break it down. 8. Caution should be exercised with certain foods like fish and leftovers, which can have high histamine levels. Conclusion: Addressing histamine intolerance requires a comprehensive approach to improving overall gut health rather than simply avoiding histamine-rich foods. By focusing on restoring gut barrier function, reducing inflammatory triggers, and supporting the body's natural histamine-breaking mechanisms, individuals can potentially overcome histamine sensitivity and return to a more balanced diet. It's important to recognize the interconnected nature of gut health, enzyme production, and histamine tolerance when developing a strategy to manage this condition.

To the audience and Thomas in regards to the video. So it all started when I was rinsing off salmon in the kitchen. Within 30 seconds my hands were fiery red hot. So itchy my hands were shaking and I took 2 Benadryl and washed them with dish soap 10 times. I thought to myself WTF? I’m not allergic to salmon!? So I threw it out and ordered food instead. A few weeks later I decided to give fish another try. This time I didn’t want packaged fish from god knows where. I went to the deli and bought a whole red snapper for $14 and had them clean it for me. I went home and immediately threw it on the grill with olive oil and lemon pepper seasoning. This time I had no allergic reaction. I was left confused… The red snapper was so good I made it again the next week. This time I left it in the fridge for 2 days. I made it the exact same way and had a severe allergic reaction. My throat was very itchy and tight, I was having trouble swallowing water and breathing. I was drooling up slimy clear mucus like a waterfall for 3 hours. The next 2 days I was extremely bloated and felt like a turd for a week. My belt was up 2-3 loops which is insane and I looked chubby in the mirror. So a few days ago I went to the same deli, bought the same fish I just had an allergic reaction to, washed it off really good with cold water and immediately grilled it the exact same way. No allergic reaction. CRAZY?! Just a couple days ago I started doing more research into this and discovered histamine sensitivity which explains why the smallest things bloat me. 7:48 I need to eat extremely fresh foods and anything “leftover” makes me feel like an absolute turd and I usually always have a bad gut reaction to it like diarrhea or vomiting. For example, if I eat pure coco chocolate I will have a mild allergic reaction to the pollen or protein in the coco powder. Same with tomatoes that aren’t washed and bananas as well.

I got diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis back in May this year. After I did a GI Map test I found out I have gut dysbiosis, low stomach acid and leaky gut. I have INFLAMMATORY & AUTOIMMUNE-RELATED BACTERIA and commensal inflammatory and autoimmune related bacteria. I also have H. Pylori, C. Diff and others… my RA is most likely caused by my messed up gut. I went cold turkey and switched my diet to carnivore and after 10days my symptoms improved 80% along with strength training. Even eating seasonings makes my fingers swell next day. I started taking saccharomysis boulardii to flush out the bad bacteria and taking other probiotics as well and I incorporated homemade sauerkraut and dr William Davis special yogurts and doing long fasting to heal my gut. My hands feel awesome and close to normal now. ❤

Thanks for the video Thomas! You have helped me so much to get educated about nutrition and my health. Jesus loves you Thomas! ❤️

Before I knew about a good diet, I ate too much gluten/processed bread. Gave myself a gluten intolerance, after research I discovered I actually poisoned my stomach, permanently. Now my gut health is below average, explains why I'm sniffly at work moreso than others in the cold. Can't eat as late as what I used to either, digestion takes longer. Also meal prep most weeks, didn't know that leftovers increase histamines. Thanks again Tom 🙏

You need iron to create DAO. I was seriously anemic and had a terrible histamine intolerance. Once I fixed the anemia the histamine intolerance got so much better.

If you look up histamine, you’ll probably just see ads for Benadryl

Knowing what to eat these days is hardest thing you will learn but thanks for the information Thomas. Always appreciate the level of details in these videos.
