If you’ve been "eating clean," tracking your macros, and strictly following a low FODMAP diet but you’re still dealing with bloating, puffiness, and anxiety, this episode is a must-listen. If your "IBS" feels more like full-body inflammation—or if it flares right before your period—it’s time to stop looking at FODMAPs and start looking at histamine.

Today, we are unpacking why low FODMAP isn't a "forever" fix and how a gut-immune-hormone feedback loop might be the real reason you aren't healing.

In this episode, we dive into:


Histamine 101: Why this normal immune chemical becomes a nightmare when your "bucket" overflows and your DAO enzymes can't keep up.


The "Inflammatory Bloat": How to tell the difference between standard gas and a histamine reaction (clue: do leftovers, spinach, or wine wreck you?).


The Estrogen-Histamine Loop: Why your symptoms fluctuate with your cycle and why histamine spikes often mirror PMS and perimenopausal flares.


Beyond Food Restrictions: Why histamine intolerance isn’t a root cause—it’s a symptom—and how stress and SIBO are fueling the fire.


The 4-Step Repair Plan: From "calming the fire" with nervous system regulation to fixing the hormone drivers that allow histamine to build up.

Histamine intolerance isn’t a life sentence of avoiding avocados; it’s a signal that your system needs deep, root-cause support. Your gut isn't broken, it's just over-responsive.

P.S. If you’re tired of the guessing game and want to find out if histamine is the missing piece of your IBS puzzle, let’s jump on Zoom for a quick call and brainstorm how to get to the root cause. Book here.
