Suffering from allergies, allergic reactions, histamine reaction or sensitivity, or other health issues associated with allergies?
If you know my story, you’ll know I suffered from MAJOR allergies and Herxheimer reactions. I’m literally known around here as the “Queen of Herx!” 😆 My healing journey involved just off-the-charts sensitivity and massive reactions to any kind of anti-pathogen or detox agent, and in addition to my sensitivities, I also had extensive food and environmental allergies.
Well, today I want to share with you this DAO product, as it’s meant to assist with all of these things!
Diem Histamine Digest is a diamine oxidase (DAO) supplement, and it’s intended for those with intolerance to dietary histamine, histamine sensitivity, and occasional digestive distress related to histamine-containing foods and beverages.
Some examples of foods with high levels of histamine are:
- Fermented dairy products such as aged cheese & yogurt
- Fermented vegetables, like sauerkraut
- Pickled vegetables, such as dill pickles & pickled beets
- Cured or fermented meats like salami & sausage
- And alcoholic beverages like beer, wine & spirits
Why is DAO so important? Many people don’t realize that the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO) is created in the small intestine to break down histamine. Without it, your body can have a really hard time breaking down any histamine, which can result in allergies! Many people with gut disorders have multiple allergies as well. Since DAO is made in the small intestine, having a gut disorder may inhibit the natural production of DAO in our bodies.Â
Diem Histamine Digest delivers naturally derived diamine oxidase to the small intestine, where it acts directly on dietary histamine to defend against histamine-related reactions and digestive discomfort. I’ve personally used this supplement to clear my severe allergies and allergic reactions. My allergies were so severe that I could not stop sneezing or blowing my nose, and I also suffered from asthma. Within just a few days of using this, I got relief from years of misery!
I like it because it’s a natural and easy way to relieve food and environmental allergies, and it can be taken in a way that works best for you. My current preferred way of using this product is to take one on an empty stomach, in the morning, and another before dinner on an empty stomach. When I began, however, I needed 2 capsules in the morning and 2 at night – and then I lessened the dosage as my body began to create DAO naturally.
My physician recommended taking this product on an empty stomach, as it helps with environmental allergies. However, it’s good to note that if you take this product with food, it can also help with food allergies!Â
Drop a comment below if you have any questions about this amazing supplement! Based on my personal experiences, I highly recommend it if you suffer from severe allergies like I did. You can find this DAO product in our US shoppe here.
Happy healing, and remember – always listen to your gut! 🙂
Hi Linsy! I’m excited to try this product with my son and wondered if it needs to be taken away from probiotics. If so, 2 hours away from probiotics? He is currently taking Natren powder in the a.m. and takes a Healthy Trinity with his dinner at night. He’s also taking L-Glutamine before bed.
Also, I sent in a question awhile back and you mentioned that you also had some of the same issues as my son. He has Crohn’s and was struggling to move up in the dosages with the Natren powders and you mentioned that at one point you had the same issue and your body loved the Healthy Trinity capsules b/c it opened up in the small intestine. We gave it a try and it has worked so well for him. Thank you guys for sharing your own tips that you tried and what worked for you. It has been so helpful on my son’s journey to healing!!!
Hi Wendy! Yes, I totally remember you writing in regarding your son! So happy to hear from you again! 🙂 Wow, that is fantastic! I am so happy that little tip worked for your son! And yes I think you guys will really enjoy this product as well for any allergy-related issues.
From what I understand, and my personal experience using it, DAO doesn’t need to be separated by 2 hours from probiotics as it’s not an anti-pathogen. I personally do not take it at the same time as my probiotics, but I take them both like 20 minutes apart and that’s plenty sufficient. Keep in mind with DAO, if you are targeting environmental allergies you want to take DAO on an empty stomach.
If you are trying to conquer food allergies, then take it with food. So, depending on which one you guys are working on, be sure to take it accordingly. My routine is as follows: DAO when I awake up on empty stomach, wait 20 mins then I have my morning shake with my healthy trinity capsule. This has worked for me. Give my best to your son as well! -Linsy
Hi – I’ve been taking this for about a year with no relief…I should also note I question salicylates too, because I can’t tolerate a thing! I’ve never heard to take two at 20,000 a piece – but I’ll try that. Im heading in the carnivore direction because I get a runny nose and some chest pain/ asthma like issues when I eat. Is there anything else you recommend?
Hi Nicole, sorry just saw this. We don’t have any information on the carnivore diet, but here is a post on helpful diets for gut disorders: https://blog.listentoyourgut.com/helpful-diets-for-people-with-ibd
