Seens it primarily increases dopamine, (and norepinephrine a bit also) which would lower prolactin and serotonin (two stress related substances iirc).

Alternatives...

• boost metabolism (mitochondria repair etc)
• boost dopamine
• lower serotonin and prolactin
• lower cortisol/ACTH/(estrogen?) aka anti-stress

Some quotes on Medikinet:

Medikinet is an extended-release methylphenidate medication, while Ritalin is a short-acting methylphenidate medication

Methylphenidate primarily acts as a norepinephrine–dopamine reuptake inhibitor (NDRI).

Methylphenidate is a psychostimulant and increases the activity of the central nervous system through inhibition on reuptake of the neurotransmitters norepinephrine and dopamine.

Methylphenidate is most active at modulating levels of dopamine (DA) and to a lesser extent norepinephrine (NE). Methylphenidate binds to and blocks dopamine transporters (DAT) and norepinephrine transporters (NET).

@pittybitty
Broadly speaking, maybe along the lines of reducing stress/cortisol/adrenaline perhaps? Also boosting dopamine (eg by lowering prolactin) and lowering serotonin (which promotes dopamine).

Acetylcholine could be another area to consider, dietary choline being a key element here.

@hwisdom
Aspirin or Sodium Salicylate also can help

@Cezar4911
Sunflower seed oil: high in PUFA yes. Not necessarily bad, just not ideal!

It could be worth (cheaper probably) to buy pure oregano oil and gelatin capsules.

@bowser
Some insight from traditional Chinese medicine, that might be useful

Having warm milk is ideal (key!) for supporting digestion.

@LucyJ said in Histamine and starch:

@NotShanalotte interesting. I always use the normal potatoes so I will try red ones and see if its any better, thank you!

Do you tolerate any kinds of rice?
Starch can be different ratios of amylose and amylopectin, which influences how quickly it gets broken down and absorbed.

@LucyJ
Perhaps the potato lectins causing an immune response? Do you peel them before cooking?

@Living-State

I found this site for the physical books:

Ca alpha-ketoglucarate is another good form.

@noodlecat59
Eggshell calcium is alkaline and can reduce stomach acid. But it's a good way to get calcium.

@Mr-X yes true... but, until your histamine processing stabilises (in a biochemical sense) and the symptoms you mentioned caused by histamine stop, it could help to temporarily reduce the bodies histamine load. So I am reffering to short-term histamine burden relief.

@alpha
White button mushrooms seem like a good source of copper also.

@Mr-X
Long-term also, eating less pro-histamine foods can help lower the histamine load.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the roots of Aralia elata are used to treat rheumatism, arthritis, and other inflammatory conditions
— https://earthpedia.earth.com/plant-encyclopedia/angiosperms/araliaceae/aralia-elata/

The traditional Chinese medicine Aralia elata ... also known as Aralia mandshurica, has the effect of "tonifying Qi and calming the mind, strengthening the essence and tonifying the kidneys, and dispelling wind and invigorating blood circulation". It is used in the treatment of neurasthenia, Yang deficiency and Qi deficiency, kidney Qi deficiency, spleen Yang deficiency, water-dampness stagnation, thirst, and bruises. 
...
Aralia elata saponins are the main components for the pharmacological effects. From the perspective of modern pharmacological science, Aralia elata has a wide range of effects, including anti-myocardial ischaemia and alleviation of secondary myocardium ischemic reperfusion injury by regulating ionic homeostasis, anti-tumor activity by inhibiting proliferation, promoting apoptosis and enhancing immunity, hypoglycemia and lipid lowering effects by regulating glucose and lipid metabolism, and hepato-protective, neuroprotective, anti-inflammatory/analgesic effects.

Ergothioneine: A Stress Vitamin with Antiaging, Vascular, and Neuroprotective Roles?

Worth mentioning is that "vitamin D" is more of a steroid (hormone?) molecule than a vitamin, which could give some clues on how [safe it is] to supplement with, for an adult or developing baby.

I guess the form used would matter too (D2 / D3) and how much sunlight your daughter gets, as UV reaching the skin triggers the conversion into the active form - alluding to it being a tightly controlled process.

@Amazoniac knows more!

Here's some diet clues to help reduce the histamine load that the body has to deal with/metabolise. I think major sources of histamine are hard (matured) cheeses, seafood, fermented foods (eg sauerkraut) and some vegetables (eg spinach, tomatoes).

This could be due (in part) to magnesiums pharmacological effects, particularly blocking glutamate (NMDA antagonism). This has some positive effects on the dopamine system (the "D2" receptor), alongside general relief from excess glutamate (excitotoxicity).
