Histamine, a compound found in many everyday foods, can trigger uncomfortable symptoms in those with intolerance, from anxiety-like stress to skin rashes and breathing issues.
Common Symptoms
Symptoms of histamine hypersensitivity often include feelings of stress, headaches, heart palpitations, skin irritation, insomnia, shortness of breath, and dizziness. Zwannet van Binsbergen, author of Eating Without Stress, uncovered this after years of unexplained issues.
Diagnosing Histamine Intolerance
For years, Zwannet consulted various doctors for her persistent physical complaints, always diagnosed as stress-related. Inspired by an article on diet and health, she experimented by eliminating certain additives like E numbers, which eased her symptoms. Eventually, she received a proper diagnosis: histamine intolerance.
Eating Without Stress
Zwannet began creating her own low-histamine recipes. The enthusiastic response from friends and family prompted her to compile them into a book.
