Are Your Estrogen Levels Exacerbating Histamine Intolerance?
High Estrogen levels may be triggering excess histamine release in your body.
Histamine is a biogenic amine that is found in many tissues of the body, including the brain, heart, lungs, and intestines. It is involved in many physiological processes, in particular the immune response, inflammation, and neurotransmission. Histamine is stored in mast cells and basophils, which are types of immune cells that both play a key role in the body's response to allergens and pathogens. When these cells are activated, they release histamine into the surrounding tissue, where it binds to histamine receptors and produces a range of effects.
