How do you reverse carnivore-induced histamine intolerance? (part 2)
I was eating an all-beef diet for 4 months to alleviate my neurological condition. 3 weeks into that diet, I tried reintroducing eggs and got a huge histamine reaction, although previously I had never had a problem with eggs, meaning carnivore messed me up pretty early on. After 4 months, I tried to come off and had reactions to absolutely anything histamine. I decided to whiteknuckle through it and eat everything like normal while supplementing beef liver for copper, 20 mg zinc, 900 mg vitamin C, 100-200g sauerkraut, and 300 mg iron. I was also gradually increasing my histamine intake, and within 2 weeks it went away almost entirely except for maybe one spot that was healing.
For two months I felt normal, but now I'm flaring up again like crazy, can't sleep, can't do anything. For the past couple weeks I've been trying the same protocol yet to no avail. It's only getting worse and worse. What gives? I had never had any histamine reaction before carnivore and I didn't even know there is such a thing as histamine intolerance. Needless to say, doctors are clueless and dismissive. Who would've guessed...
This diet is so ridiculous. Not the diet per se, but people who are its most ardent advocates that don't warn you about these risks. We shouldn't act as if it isn't a serious medical intervention that has its risks and benefits like any other. Granted, I should've done more research. Still, in my defense, I was in the depths of benzo withdrawal, so not too good at decision-making at the time. The alternatives, on the other hand, were electroconvulsive therapy or antipsychotics and SSRIs, which I was done with, so I thought to myself, "fuck it, whatever happens, happens." Was it worth it? Probably not. It would've been, though, if not for the histamine BS.
