Histamine and food reactivity

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

We had some skin testing done for my son Tye yesterday as he has developed what looks like phenol reactivity to foods that he has always been able to eat safely. The main symptoms are immediatly after eating the food he runs to the bathroom trying to pee and starts making agitated sounds. Within a minute he is screaming and banging his forehead with his fist. On the testing yeaterday, Histamine was the only food or inhalant that he reacted as sensitive to and I'm hoping to discuss this with the doctor today. We started seeing the reaction I described above a couple months ago but didn't know at the time what the reason. What really caught my attention was that Tye's oxalate sx. were really raging (in June) and yet he had been low oxalate for over a year, with low numbers on his OAT done 6 months earlier. In June we did another OAT and his numbers had quadrupled. He was trying to pee constantly and agitated that he couldn't, bright red fingertips, lots of eye pain. The only major change had been that after severe constipation and impaction issues In the Spring and we had agreed to miralax which of course we now regret. I did not realize that glycolic acid convets to oxalic acid and that was driving the oxalates up.

Has anyone seen high oxalate in connection with histamine intolerance? Like I said we are just trying to unravel what is happening in his system so we can safely feed him and then try to figure out how to repair the damage. He has developed lymphocetic colitis as well so there is pain with eating from a number of different places. Constipation is also plaguing him and I am trying to use a little of a lot of things cause too much of any one food or supplement brings on pain. Arginine helps with the eye and urinary pain and No-Fenol enzyme can help with the reactivity from a histamine food like peas.

I am also considering trying the VSL-3 probiotic.

Sorry this post is so long, it's a complicated situation,

Jeanie,

Thank you I will. We had switched to distilled water and were giving minerals separatly but I think I'll go back to purified spring water. He only likes to drink seltzer so it's challenging. I'm glad to know

where this is coming from at least!!!!!
