Description

Who would benefit from testing DAO?

Testing DAO levels is beneficial for individuals experiencing symptoms of histamine intolerance, such as headaches, skin irritation, or digestive issues. It’s also useful for those with allergies, gastrointestinal disorders, or those seeking to understand unexplained symptoms related to histamine activity.

What are symptoms of histamine intolerance?
  • Headaches or migraines
  • Digestive disturbances
  • Skin rashes or hives
  • Nasal congestion or sneezing
  • Fatigue
  • Irregular menstrual cycle
  • Nausea or vomiting
Differences and similarities between histamine intolerance and allergy?

Histamine intolerance arises from the body’s inability to break down histamine efficiently, leading to an accumulation of histamine. Allergy is an immune response to a foreign substance. Both can share similar symptoms like hives, sneezing, or itching, but the underlying causes differ.

How can you improve histamine intolerance?

To improve histamine intolerance:

  • Consider supplements like quercetin and DAO enzyme, which help reduce histamine levels.
  • Adopt a low-histamine diet by avoiding foods high in histamine.
  • Ensure gut health to improve DAO production.
  • Manage stress, as it can exacerbate histamine release.

The home test was straightforward with easy to follow instructions. The test result was detailed and clear in its presentation. Also had the opportunity to ask questions about the test result.

We looked at a lot of companies offering the same services but made the decision to go forward with get tested because the labs are based here in the USA. The process has been very straight forward.

There are other providers out there, I have tried 3. Gettested was the fastest and the customer service was the best. I even received my test on the day of purchase delivered by a motorbike courier.

I found them to be professional and not too long a wait for results. Helpful with any after questions. Will be using them again if need be. I highly recommend them.
