Publisher's Synopsis
Do you suffer from rashes, hot flashes, migraines, anxiety, gut problems, allergies/sensitivities, or 'mystery' symptoms? Histamine intolerance (HIT) could be the cause but it is vastly overlooked and misunderstood. Let Dr. Beverley Rider-a PhD Immunologist, nutritionist, former sufferer, and mom-help you navigate fact from fiction in this concise, easy-to-read book.
There's so much more to histamine than meets the (itchy) eye! And balancing histamine involves more than just a low-histamine diet (LHD). Restoring your body long-term involves asking why your histamine is out of balance and addressing the functional root cause. Perhaps you need to heal your gut or simply restore missing vitamins and minerals. Everyone is unique, but Dr. Rider guides you in identifying ways to rebalance your histamine and ease suffering through practical shifts in diet, lifestyle, environment and supplementation.
This book is the boiled-down result of years of research by Dr. Rider who understands all too well the headaches that come with histamine excess, having suffered herself in addition to her daughter. Through her research, however, she was able to reset, balance and with this valuable insight, truly hopes she can help you find your way back to health and vitality.
