Histamine intolerance isn’t always about the food. Sometimes it’s about gut damage.
DAO (diamine oxidase) is produced in the lining of the small intestine. When the gut is inflamed or damaged - think leaky gut - as often happens with SIBO, dysbiosis or other chronic digestive inflammation, DAO production can drop in a big way. When that happens, histamine breakdown drops and histamine symptoms flare.
This is why some people suddenly develop histamine reactions after a gut issue and also why strict low-histamine diets often only provide partial or temporary relief.
