x-post looking for doc in Southeast US

[Guest guest]

I'm posting for a friend whose nephew has OCD that sounds like either PANDAS or

high histamine and am wondering if anyone can recommend a doctor in the southern

US who might be a good fit. The family lives in Chattanooga TN and could get to

Atlanta or Nashville easily.

Thank you!

What does high histamine levels mean/ My son's labs show that, but no strep.

High histamine is common in people on the spectrum and their families and can

cause a long list of issues including anxiety, panic attacks, depression, rage

and mood swings, obsessive-compulsive disorder, crying episodes, sensory issues

(histamine controls the " volume " on sensory processing in the brain), dizziness,

car sickness, vertigo, headaches including migraines, asthma, eczema, connective

tissue disorders, allergies (duh!), impulsive or compulsive behavior,

oppositional behavior, and lots more.

You can treat with special diet, certain enzymes, supplements, and it usually

comes down to an imbalance of gut flora. Clostridia pumps out histamine when

you feed it grains for example. Some good gut flora neutralizes histamine.

I wrote a series of blog posts about it and how to treat it:

Oh my gosh Sierra! Thanks for the explanation! You decribed our almost 4 year

old son to the T. He is GFCF, on probiotics, just started D3, Biotin, magnesium

again. I will read you blogs. i want to know what we can do to help our little

guy. He's become so anxious, stimmy in every way....driving us crazy! I just

looked at his labs and it actually says HISTIDINE 142H Range is 54-113. Is that

the same thing as histamine? Thank you,

Sandy

There's a blood test for histamine levels. I tested us first by going on the

low histamine diet, and we were so much better within 10 days it was proof to

me, but we did get the test anyway (and we were off of the charts). The low

histamine diet controlled symptoms well but didn't " fix " the problem. It can be

a good place to start though. To fix the problem you ned to fix methylation and

heal the gut. The biggest thing for healing the gut is getting all sugar and

starch out (SCD is on the right track) because these things feed the bad bugs

that are at the root of the problem. SCD is not enough though because it

doesn't emphasize healing foods and doesn't emphasize probiotics enough (and

ferments when you heal enough to tolerate them). I am planning to write a blog

post about this. My family is now on the downhill side of the mountain in

healing this. My older so (more or less NT) is healed from OCD. Please feel

free to ask more questions if you want.

My son has an autoimmune issue called dermatographism. Just touching his

own skin firmly he releases crazy amounts of histamines and gives himself

linear hives!!

Dr. recommended Allegra. I did some research. My son takes grape seed

extract (grape, not grapefruit), pycnogenol and quercetin.

He has as much as scratched in about 4 months. It's completely under

control!!! Even when he does scratch a bug bite or a regular old itch he

doesn't get the linear hives at all. It's been amazing for him!

Sierra,

My child has been on anti-histamines since he was 5(a long time). He has

now run out of anything he can take. Does that indicate high histamine, or

is this something else entirely?

Thanks,

Sierra,

What would you say helped with the ocd? What besides scd did you do for the

Thanks. The last thing my son took was Allegra and it made him climb the walls.

If we gave it at night, he was awake all night. Later found out that it can

cause panic attacks in some NT adults.

Hi Sierra,

My kid is struggling with Clostridia now and I am feeding him Quinoa.

Will it help by adding Allerase 1-2 caps per day between meals to check

Histamine storm while I am working on Clostridia.

He is on flagyl+Diflucan now, so I hope I'll be able to temporarily knock off

Clostridia.

thanks,

sasmita

Sierra,

Do I have to put my son on LOW histamine diet, to get an authentic test result

by Histamine lab test?

Is it like a challenge test..

Now, which particular test is more reliable, with Quest/Labcorp or any other

labs?

Thanks,

sasmita
