I have just recieved the results of a histamine test and I have slightly high histamine.
I am going to try methionine to lower it, but I have read that taking folic acid will make it worse.
Do you think 400mcg of folic acid from a multi will cause any significant problem?

Well I read that most people with OCD have high histamine, so I thought it might be a contributing factor.
I've also read that high histamine can cause panic attacks.
Plus I have mild sinus problems.
I'm not really sure how high it is though, I was just told that normal levels are 28-51 and that mine was 62.

Yeah, I've read most of that site before.
It doesn't mention folic acid though.
Also, a funny thing is I have most of the symptoms listed under low histamine too.

A UK lab called Individual Wellbeing Diagnostic Laboratories.

I would be allergic to everything according to IgE
while prick and interdermal tests were right on the money.

Hi,
I had some skin prick tests about 2 weeks ago and had no immediate reaction (within the 10-15 mins) except , as expected, for histamine.
I did get reactions (swelling at sites) about 5 hrs later..and more about a day later and even bigger by 2 days later.
I've read on the net this indicates something but it is not a "typical" type allergic reaction.
Have you any idea what it means?Jan
