Histamine Intolerance Test
To the product page
Did you know that headaches, nausea, irregular heart rate, abdominal pain, gas and skin rashes as well as itching may all be signs of histamine intolerance?
Histamine Intolerance is intolerance of histamine consumed through food. It is caused by a deficiency in the histamine-degrading enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO) or by an imbalance of histamine and DAO. As far as experts are concerned, it is not normally caused by genetic factors; it is often known to be associated with another health condition.
With the cerascreen® Histamine Intolerance Test, you can determine the concentration of the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO), which breaks down histamine in your intestine, in your blood with a blood sample. A low value of DAO can confirm histamine intolerance. You will receive a results report with information and recommendations on how to follow a low-histamine diet and boost your intestinal health.
