I have had so many people reach out to me after developing histamine issues on the carnivore diet. Usually they start out feeling great, as their zinc gets replenished, but over time a zinc excess, actually can cause the body to flush out copper, causing deficiencies.

This is not the only reason histamine issues present but I believe it is one significant factor.

Seafood tends to be higher in copper, but it’s often also high in zinc so if there is a serious deficiency it might not be enough to fix it. Seafood is also typically very high in histamine so might not be helpful.

Plants are higher in copper, so if you’re craving them and not feeling well on a carnivore diet, this might be why.

I wish everyone understood that doing a few weeks of gut healing prep before jumping into the GAPS diet could make everything so much easier. Knowing how to keep your diet low in histamine will not only benefit you by having less symptoms but it will help you heal faster.

You don’t need to buy a SCOBY(little jellyfish thing that people sell) to make kombucha! If you have access to RAW kombucha you can make your own homemade kombucha and it will grow a SCOBY in the process which you can use over and over if you wish.

In your next batch you can use the exact same recipe but 1/2 cup of your homemade kombucha and/ or your homegrown SCOBY instead of buying more kombucha from the store!

The key is that you need truely raw kombucha. Many brands are labeled raw but are actually pasturised so I try to buy local brands from health shops. Buchi is a great brand in Australia and GTs in America works as well. I’ve made this dozens of times over the years and it works best with raw unflavoured kombucha.

The easiest way to remember the recipe is 1/2, 1/2, 1/2

If you’re making 2 quart/litre (it’s the same) you need:

⭐️ 1/2 cup sugar
⭐️ 1/2 cup raw kombucha
⭐️ 1/2 cup of fresh or frozen fruit to flavour

If you’re on a healing journey I wouldn’t add this in until you’re tolerating many other foods like stock, sauerkraut, yoghurt etc.

I made this in the subtropical australia summer so if you’re in winter it will likely take more like 15-20 days for the first ferment and 6-8 days to get it fizzy in the second ferment ❤️

Anytime I post about meat stock people immediately assume I’m talking about bone broth! They are different and you should not be having bone broth.

But meat stock, when made properly is low in histamine and low in glutamate. It detoxes the body from histamine producing yeast and rebuilds the intestinal lining.

In my experience meat stock is crucial to reversing histamine issues. But you have to start slow. As it removes histamine producing microbes it can cause a flare so many people need to start with just 1 tsp.

For my full protocol on rebuilding the gut lining and reversing histamine overproduction check out my cure histamine course!
