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

https://store.drruscio.com/products/intestinal-support?variant=29051287765044

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