Histamine intolerance - focus on causes

In previous blog articles we have talked about Histamine intoleranceand some of its causes. In this article, we look at the problem from the perspective of livestock feeding.

Histamine intolerance causes - Cadaverine

We have developed and implemented programmes to eliminate a number of important diseases on large pig farms. We have successfully eliminated the pathogens. Unfortunately, we have not been successful in eliminating opportunistic pathogens. If we could Immune system by feeding, there is no solution to these problems.

For this reason, we have endeavoured intensively to investigate and research various relevant sub-areas. Many nutritionists have not moved beyond the completely irrelevant and one-sided discussion of white and red meat. For a long time, the focus was on the question of whether the animal with genetically modified soya and lysine as free Amino acid was fed or not. And whether that Meat Glyphosate- and cadaverine residues.

Cadaverine-free meat tastes different

Lysine that is not absorbed and a poor Intestinal flora lead to a high cadaver load. This is not only a problem for the animal, but also has an impact on the quality and flavour of the meat.

Insufficient absorption of lysine and dysbiotic intestinal flora can lead to a significant cadaverine load. A high cadaverine load is a cause of histamine intolerance.

Histamine intolerance causes and DAO enzyme

The biogenic amine of lysine is the so-called Cadaverine. It leads to Liver damage. Cadaverine is formed in the large intestine from unabsorbed lysine. It is the product of bacteria known as decarboxylase enzyme-producing bacteria. Cadaverine is also found in meat for human consumption. For this reason, the number of people who are sensitive to histamine has risen astonishingly.

Both cadaverine and histamine are biogenic amines. Cadaverine is formed from lysine. Histamine is formed from histidine. As both have the same degradation enzyme (DAO), the cause of histamine intolerance can be traced back to this. If this enzyme is blocked by cadaverine, the body can no longer break down histamine.

What helps against the causes of histamine intolerance?

Avoid industrially produced and processed meat

Meat from animals that have been fed industrially produced feed with a high lysine content should be avoided. Especially chicken and pork.

To avoid any misunderstandings: We are by no means against chicken and pork, but against the incorrect feeding methodswith which the animals are reared. It is the poultry and pork industry that is undermining confidence in its own products the most. It is not only the animals that suffer from health problems due to the use of additives and genetically modified feed. It is also the people, the consumers of these animal products.

More and more people are finding it difficult to consume food from this production without problems.

Anyone familiar with the negative consequences of the various preservation methods used in the production of foods with biogenic amines will be amazed that science is unable to recognise the increased risk posed by the use of free amino acids in food and animal feed. There is obviously a double standard when it comes to the profit interests of the fermentation industry.

Maintaining healthy intestinal flora

A healthy intestinal flora and a healthy microbiome help us to combat histamine intolerance. Fulvicherb-Synergy with Fulvic acid can support this, as its active ingredients promote the build-up and maintenance of intestinal flora, improve the production and absorption of histamine and support the function of the DAO enzyme.

To summarise, it can be said that the causes of histamine intolerance can be found both outside and inside the body.
