@elevatemd: Love it or leave it histamine Intolerance Edition! 🙃 Histamine related symptoms are a common issue we see in many of our #perimenopause patients. Perimenopause can trigger a lot of inflammation & immune dysfunction, so here are some of the most common remedies you guys ask me about! 👇🏻 ✅ Quercetin: This is a natural mast cell stabilizer. The longer you take it, the better it works! 🙌🏻 ❌ Prednisose: Many women are prescribed steroids for skin related allergies, and I’m genuinely not a fan of long term steroid use. Especially if the underlying issue is hormonal. 😅 ❌ Benadryl: This is okay for very intermittent use, but avoid taking Benadryl daily since it is anticholinergic. ✅ DAO Enzymes: LOVE! DAO activity starts to decline during perimenopause, so taking DAO enzymes before meals can help reduce histamine symptoms. ✅ Pepcid: LOVEEE! Pepcid is an H2 blocker, so you can take it with other H1 blockers such as Zyrtec for comprehensive histamine management. ⚠️ Sinus Red Light Therapy: I ordered one on Amazon, I will try it for a few weeks a let you guys know! 🤣 ✅ Progesterone Therapy: This is only available via prescription, but it can be a GAME CHANGER for women experiencing perimenopause related allergies & histamine intolerance. 🤌🏻 Let me know what we should cover next?! 🤔 🩺📲 If you’re in the US, & you’re interested in exploring hormone optimization, feel free to go to the 🔗 in my bio to book a free 30 minute call with my team to learn how to get started. 🤗 #hormonehealth #womenover30 #womenover40 #hormonalimbalance

Isn’t Pepcid bad long term for gut health?

I was told Quercetin was not good for people who have COMT met/met gene mutation even if you have MCAS/POTs/hEDS? Any thoughts would be helpful.

Lindsay ❤️🔥 :
Okay so where can I find a doctor like you? I had to argue for hormones, I’ve had to discover the Pepcid plus cetrizine trick on my own because I’ve never had skin issues until the last two years and my doc says it’s not hormone related

Personally hate progesterone for MCAS/Histamine intolerance. I was absolutely miserable the month I took it and I’m still recalibrating over a year later. It’s also often compounded with peanut oil…which is HIGH histamine. I realize each person is different, but just be aware!

Can you take Pepcid and an allergy medicine long-term? Or should you cycle on and off?
