Theoretically what happens if you OD on thyroid. I've always been worried about upping my dose when I was one it. Which has caused me to more than likely be too conservative in my use of it.

This study seems to indicative that mast cell degranulation is a very early response induced by TD (Thiamine Deficiency)

@LucH said in DAO Deficiency:

Mind unsuspicious counterproductive effects. A nonsense, I know. One example: High dose thiamine. So if taking one supplement, make a search to see if there is an impact on histamine or estrogen.
PS: Mind when eating canned fish (tuna) or pre-packaged cold cuts such as ham, sausage and everything that is smoked or fermented (blue cheese and old cheese).
Hope it could help to manage.

What do you mean by the above? Are you saying high dose thiamine would help? And are you saying that canned fish and cold cuts can make histamine worse?

My wife has been having an issue with histamine dumps for about a year now. It always happens right before her cycle where she has "allergy" like symptoms. Congestion, puffy face, body aches. For awhile I would just give her cyproheptadine during to help alleviate the symptoms but it wasn't a solution long term. After consulting with several doctors we just got shrugged shoulders and "try antihistamines and stop eating high histamine food". This was useless advice because it didn't solve the problem. We eventually went to a homeopathic doctor a friend recommended and the doctor put her on some homeopathic remedy which worked. When i inquired about what it was it was a homeopathic tincture containing DAO enzyme. Which makes sense since that enzyme is responsible for the clearing of histamine. But just like the Allopathic doctors, the homeopathic didn't provide any insight on HOW to fix a DAO enzyme deficiency. In their mind the tincture will just "heal her" eventually but the moment she stopped taking it it came back.

So my question is from a Bioenergetic standpoint how does one go about correcting a DAO deficiency with diet?

I seem to be struggling with symptoms of low stomach acid. Food just feels like it sits in my stomach like a rock. Would a teaspoon of ACV with each meal be helpful? Anything else people would recommend?

@DavidPS Hmm. Seems to be many possible causes. I did consume too much to drink on New Year evening and its been happening since then. Possibly a vitamin or mineral deficiency from too much alcohol

Last night after taking Thyroid and aspirin I got a pins and needles sensation through my body as well as warmth. Similar to how you feel after taking beta alanine in pre workout. I again had the same sensation after eating lunch and taking thyroid. My dose both times were one drop of tyromix. I expect the warmth but the tingly pins and needles sensation is new.

Any thoughts on what is causing this?

Is there an actual protocol for this or is it just "take dextrose several times a day"?

Interesting. I began workout out again recently as well and have had similar symptoms. Not any nausea but loose stools and upset digestion. I know lifting is a stressful event for the body. My symptoms aren’t as severe as yours but I also take 10 MeO Harmalen every morning which could be reduce symptoms but they definitely get worse through the day and especially post workout. Maybe I’ll try cypro and shift back to a HIT routine and less volume

As the title suggestions, is there a Peaty take on supplementing HBCD?
