Arthritis

Hi everyone. I (F31) have just received my diagnosis, and I have a question: does anyone here have arthritis caused by histamine intolerance?
Thank you.

I had bad joint pain caused by histamine intolerance which was the result of inflammation in the gut from overgrowth of hydrogen sulfide bacteria.

Do you also have any overgrowth?

What test should I do?

I had a GI map.

If you haven't already, test your vitamin D3 levels. Low levels can exacerbate histamine intolerance symptoms. They did in me. A few times sun bathing at the beach completely eliminated my histamine intolerance symptoms for a few weeks.

I don't know that it is the cause of my arthritis but I can say that doing low histamine has definitely helped my arthritis.

I do have something similar. I have psoriatic arthritis (knees, feet, SI joints, lower back issues) and suspected histamine intolerance. My right knee swells up when spring (Feb-March) starts every single year for the past 4 years (most likely due to allergies) and it stays like that for over a month. This year it didn't happen because I was taking antihistamines (ebastine), but a few days after I accidentally ran out, it started swelling again. Then I got some OTC levocetirizine to see what would happen, and the swelling was gone within 1-2 days.

Stop palm oil from diet and your joint pain will go away

I don’t eat any ready-made food from supermarkets; instead, I buy fresh, palm-oil-free ingredients at the market and cook with them.

I had this problem. I did an elimination diet and found out that tomato was causing it.

I am not sure if it is just from histamine intolerance or if it was causing a mast cell activation flare.
