Today I’m happy to chat with our patient Leslie who shares her successful journey with histamine intolerance healing. We’ll go through how SIBO led to her histamine issues, the connection to low vagus nerve tone, as well as the low histamine diet and treatments such as dao enzymes. Tune in to learn how you can reduce histamine in the body naturally.

✅Intestinal Support Formula (ISF): 

🔹5 grams of Immunoglobulin per serving  

🔹Dose range: 5-10 grams per day. 2 scoops = 5 grams.  

🔹May be taken with or without food.

🔹Research shows between 5-10 grams per day to be beneficial

✅Probiotic Triple Therapy Sticks:

✅Vagus Nerve Stimulation with VaguStim 

🔹15-30 minutes 1-2x per day 

🔹Follow the user manual and app instructions to get started.

🔹It’s important to ensure you’re using enough conductive gel in the ears for the device to work effectively. If you’re only noticing a faint sensation, even with the device setting fairly high, you’re either not using enough gel or the batteries are low. 

🔹It may take up to 1-2 months to observe a benefit from vagus nerve stimulation
