Detect and prove histamine intolerance
We offer the following parameters:
- Quantitative histamine determination
- Detection of histamine-forming microorganisms
- Determination of diaminooxidase (DAO) activity
Characteristic symptoms of a histamine intolerance are:
- flushing,
- nausea,
- diarrhoea,
- migraine headache,
- heat sensation, and
- dyspnoea.
The main difference between a histamine intolerance and a food allergy: in the case of a histamine intolerance, the strength of the symptoms depends on the amount of histamine added. Patients suffering from histamine intolerance should employ a histamine-poor diet.
