should i continue supplementing copper
=> Yes. half dose. Target 1.5 Cu and Zn 10 mg"and it says that iron helps with diamine oxidase activity, my ferritin is really low like 15-20, albeit peat talked against iron supplements?"
=> Taking a iron supplement is not a good idea when We can manage in another way. RP is right. We'll do the job but later. You need cofactors to assimilate it and improve ferritin level.
There is enough iron in meat, specially in red meat (beef). 100 g (3.5 oz. is enough). We'll see this problem later."I believe i have the mthfr gene which makes sense, I will test homocysteine and the mthfr gene test."
=> No need to test homocysteine now. It's too high when there is inflammation.
It you take coenzymes vitamins B 9 and B12 to bypass gene MTHFR deficiency, you don't really need to test the possible deficiency.
Except on next blood test, to see how you've managed. So wait for the test.The priority is to keep candidiasis under control to vary food nutrients and to optimize metabolism.
I'll give you a link to my personal log later, to see how I manage an histamine problem, with a suspicion of young SIBO.
First of all, read and get informed on how to practice if you don't want to exhaust energy (often called adrenal exhaustion) because of stress in excess and inappropriate / insufficient measure.
Sth you can't tolerate now because of irritable bowels or inability to process histamine (overreaction) could be soon appreciated / needed.
Wait before deciding what to do. You need a plan.
Get informed first. -
@LucH Looking forward to your message, i used in the past oregano oil, l-glutamine and carrot salad to combat candida and dysbiosis but i still use sugar daily and some grains.

no glutamine: It feeds candida albicans.
Oregano oil is a good choice when trying to dampen bacterial overgrowth but it's not sufficient. Mind the fact you're not going to kill all "bad bacteria". Some are able to adapt and to hide behind a biofilm.
We want to weaken the whole microbiome and to occupy the place afterwards with beneficial ones. I'll show you what I did, though I didn't suffer from candidose.
You can't manage with a carrot salad or cascara when your linen tissue is irritated.- Priority to fihgt candidose.
- Calm down irritation.
- get rid of bacterial overgrowth. With a plan. Think long term.
SIBO is taken into account. - seed the intestinal flora. Nature doesn't like emptiness. Mind the kind probiotics you take as supplement (contraindications with histamine problems).
- deal with leaky gut to assimilate the right nutrients.
- Lower stress: relax technique and adequate molecules to help but well tolerated. E.g. L-theanine.

other than oregano oil which is really strong and might irritate the gut, a round of antibiotics ?

Maybe both but I won't give details now because you've got to do your homework ;).
Read the links I gave. You've got work for 2 days if you want to manage well / if you do not want to take the wrong road and exhaust the capacity of your body to recover. -
@LucH thanks for everything, gonna read it all.

@LucH hey, although i know b1 is histamine liberator, i did some research and couldn't find any studies that prove that it increases histamine or blocks dao despite being mention in some of those websites you posted and my own experience, i did find a few studies that show the opposite that lower b1 status increases histamine in the brain and serotonin. how do we increase b1 for us with histamine issues, even b complex give me all issues because b1 in it.

I know.
I didn’t find back the link of the study. So, I’ve proceeded differently, with Luc’s pendulum
Question to ChatGPT
Context:
Study warning against certain molecules (herbal medicine or foods). The details are not available. I couldn't find this link. No problem with the AE (adequate intake) / RDA relative to thiamine (B1), i.e., 1.2 mg. Nor even with a B50 complex if taken twice a week.
I know that thiamine is essential as a vitamin and enzyme cofactor in several situations, particularly in the communication between the brain and gut axis (vagal nerve).
So no need to warn me.
• Enzymatic Pathways and Bioenergetics (HD Vitamins and Co-factors + Mitochondrial Support)
• Microbiome-Brain Coordination (Gut Health and Absorption + Neurotransmitter Synthesis)Question
What could be the reason for the prohibition / warning against taking a high dose of thiamine (> 100 mg B1) as a course for a treatment, at a pharmacological dosage, passive assimilation, with occasional B2 intake, therefore not necessarily daily? A high intake of B1 will "consume" B2.Extrapolation (track to be confirmed):
Prerequisite: Metabolism functions erratically, whether at the thyroid, digestive, and / or brain levels.
Knowing that a significant and gradual passive intake is likely to reactivate certain metabolic processes in the event of deficiency (CFR Chandler Marrs, Elliot Overton, Antonio Constantine's, legacy, Derrick Lonsdale), according to a progressive protocol, what could be the reason / explanation for an excitation of mast cells or other cells involved in the production or release of histamine, in the event of a high dosage? I am aware that this is a hypothesis, therefore it must be confirmed by another route. No need for a warning.Short answer
The most plausible explanation is that high doses of B1 abruptly increase the activity of mitochondrial enzyme complexes and decarboxylation pathways, creating:
• an increased demand for B2 and NADPH,
• a transient redox imbalance,
• increased production of metabolites and biogenic amines,
• and rapid modulation of the neuro-immune axis (vagus nerve–mast cells).
These combined factors can trigger or amplify mast cell degranulation/histamine release in certain conditions.Detailed explanation
As described by Derrick Lonsdale and Chandler Marrs: In cases of latent deficiency, a high dose can "awaken" dormant metabolic pathways.
This "awakening" results in a relocation of metabolic resources, with short-term disharmony, which can manifest as:- Mast cell activation,
- Thyroid fluctuations,
- Symptoms of histamine intolerance.
Immuno-neuroendocrine activation (brain-gut-immunity axis)
• The vagus nerve is heavily involved in mast cell regulation.
• While thiamine abruptly improves nerve conduction and vagal bioenergetics, there may be a transient activation of the anti-inflammatory cholinergic loop, paradoxically perceived as mast cell stimulation (abrupt rebalancing of sympathetic/parasympathetic tone).
In conclusion (LucH): We first try to calm the excessive reaction (histamine), with a moderate intake of B1, accompanied by cofactors to facilitate enzymatic conversion. When the situation is under control, we can gradually increase the pharmacological dosage (HD B1), following a protocol if we go beyond 100 mg of thiamine. We adapt according to the feeling, knowing that we will have to learn to decode a healing crisis (Herxheimer crisis) from a counterproductive / inappropriate intake.

@LucH Interesting, i got a similar answer from chatgpt, i played around with different dosages from 25mg-100mg hcl supplemented along with b2 50mg and p5p 10mg. They all cause me the same issues.
-
@lykos, if you haven’t done so already, you may want to consider thyroid function as a potential contributing factor. Ray spoke about the thyroid’s role in copper metabolism and also, the immune system and allergies.

@Jennifer I checked my thyroid before i tested any of the minerals and it was fine, soon i will test various b vitamins.
