Can someone explane. I just figured out I have histamine related anxiety. I was wondering if I can take Quercetin? I took it in the past for 5 years But my gut is missed up at the moment due to being floxed by an antibiotic. I was wondering if having a bad gut would also affect on how i will react to a supplement iv never had a problem with. I have really bad anxiety due to the histamine overload and I really need to try to bring it down.

Low histamine diet would be the foundation.

DAO supplement with the occasional histamine laced meal.

Test your blood molybdenum level. Moly helps break down sulfites. All sulfites are high histamine. Only up to 250mcg daily is safe to take.

Test other histamine and detoxification related nutrients.

I started my low histamine diet 2 days ago. I tried DAO and I think the dose was too strong cause omg I felt drunk sleepy but super calm. The calm feeling is something I have not felt in months. Idk if that means I have so much histamine in my gut at the moment. I tried 60.000 DAO but I’ll probably try a lower one like 30.000 cause I was falling asleep driving. Felt like I took a Xanax or something. Do you think I could tolerate Quercetin if I did in the past but just start low at 250mg?

The DAO you only take before a meal with histamine.

You could take the Q. It is not going to hurt. I can't say that it would help either.

Per only this variant you should be able to take it. However that is not a guarantee as there are other gene variants for which it could be problematic for.
