Histamine Intolerance

Histamine Intolerance

A Comprehensive Guide for Health Professionals

Wonderful resource for clinicians and counselors, written by immunology expert and former dietitian, Dr. Janice Vickerstaff. Sufferers of histamine intolerance can have pruritus, urticaria, angioedema, flushing, headaches, and tachycardia. People often have a hard time getting diagnosed and finding treatment—other than living on pharmaceuticals. This book is designed to help identify the condition and implement strategies (mostly nutritional) to reduce the incidence and manage it.
