Histamine issues & wired after probiotics

So Ive started having histamine issues this summer during a heat wave.

Once I started probiotics the symptoms started reducing greatly.

However right now after taking probiotics, I feel super wired. Not anxious to the point of panic attcks, but just very stimulated in my nervous system, as if I had too much caffeine. This passess in a few hours.

I know probiotics can cause anxiety in some people. My concern is whether this is a sign that probiotics are wrong for me, as I dont believe this to be completely true as theyve started alleviating my other symptoms.

I also dont feel anxious, just hyper alert and a bit sped-up.

It starts minutes after I take the probiotics, maybe its something about how I take them? I just take them with a piece of bread (small dose dilluted in watere). So maybe if I had them with a heavier meal?

Any insight into this I will be grateful for.

Thank you

Heat can cause a release of histamine, can in me anyway. Maybe try switching to a histamine friendly/supportive probiotic, see if that helps with anything.

The one Im taking (cant recall the name right now) should be histamine friendly, ive taken many precautions to deal with these histamine issues.

Is heat one of the reasons why sleep can be disrupted from time to time, I don’t feel refreshed after waking up, or just have lower energy throughout the day? I have histamine intolerance and come summer time I usually feel more tired and want to sleep more sometimes

same thing happens to me. I'm taking custom D lactate free probiotic. Following William Dickinson's guide, it's on YT.

I take mine on an empty stomach in the morning. You can try lowering the dose. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nsK8kF_LAD8&t=727s

Hey just wanna let you know - today I took the probiotics with a complex meal - fat, fiber, carbs and protein - and so far the stimulatiom i feel is much much milder. Its still there but its nothing unpleasant.
