Common risk factors:
• Gut imbalance / “leaky gut”
• Processed food intake
• Chronic inflammation
Underlying triggers may include:
• Mold, pollen, animal dander
• Chemical exposures
• Hormonal shifts
• Neurotransmitter imbalances
Important note on probiotics:
Some strains can actually increase histamine, including:
• Lactobacillus bulgaricus
• Lactobacillus casei
• Lactobacillus delbrueckii
• Lactobacillus helveticus
• Streptococcus thermophilus
🧩If your child has ongoing symptoms like congestion, rashes, headaches, or GI issues, histamine may be one piece of the puzzle worth exploring.
