Introduction

I was born in 1984
I obtained my medical degree from Semmelweis University in 2008
I have been a general practitioner since 2011
I have 4 children

After 16 years of illness (fever, rashes, vomiting, low mood, runny nose, sore throat, diarrhea, etc.), I became completely symptom-free with a low-histamine diet!

My goal

I want to earn a PhD on histamine intolerance (histamine adverse reaction).

I created this website on my own, dedicating my free time without sparing any effort. I believe that if I succeeded, others can also overcome their distressing symptoms!

Abbreviations

DAO
Diamine oxidase is responsible for the breakdown of extracellular (e.g., intestinal lumen) histamine and is primarily produced by the intestine, kidney, and placenta.

HNMT
Histamine-N-methyltransferase is responsible for the breakdown of intracellular histamine. Its level cannot be measured by blood test.

HIT
Histamine intolerance, correctly: histamine adverse reaction

What's new

2025.01.08.
I am pleased to share that our latest scientific publication on histamine intolerance in general practice has been released: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/14/2/311 2025.05.26.
The website has undergone significant changes; the English and German translations have been completed, and a video section has also been added.

Dear Colleague,
This website is primarily intended for laypersons, so there are many simplifications. Based on estimated values, histamine adverse reactions may affect up to 1% of the population to some degree. I wish to provide help for them! Over time, I will also add educational materials aimed at doctors to the website.
The link to the currently valid German protocol, based on broad professional consensus, can be found at the bottom of the page.

Scientific work

My case report publication: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/35249096/
My study on post-COVID-19 published in Orvosi Hetilap: https://akjournals.com/view/journals/650/163/9/650.163.issue-9.xml
Our latest scientific publication on histamine intolerance in general practice: https://www.mdpi.com/2077-0383/14/2/311

Instead of the commonly used term "histamine intolerance," the professional literature prefers the term "histamine adverse reaction" (or biogenic amine adverse reaction).

Literature

This website is unique in that I use only scientifically founded information. I have reviewed all the English and German professional materials related to histamine adverse reactions available on PubMed.

The most important reference is the currently valid German guideline: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34651098/

More detailed references can be found partly in my Wikipedia article (histamine intolerance), in my study published in the American Journal of Case Reports, and in our publication in the MDPI Journal of Clinical Medicine.

The previously valid German guideline, based on broad professional consensus, is available here: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5346110
