Silly question--how is anyone here actually diagnosing histamine intolerance in the first place. Saliva test? Niacin?
Reread Gondwanaland's comment that "probx at first improve histamine metabolism and then overburden the system with all kinds of amines. I had to carefully supplement myself out of it with small amounts of B2, B6 and, more importantly, B5 since the downstream byproduct of amines is uric acid (so careful with B2). Magnesium is important to conter the acidity from urates..."
Before trying the kefir again successfully I added wild sardines on alternate days in preference to more pills, as fiddling with B-doses and cofactors is too problematic for me. But one of the few pills I currently take is magnesium malate or glycinate. His comment may explain my much better tolerance this time around.
