Your gut bacteria and your gut's immune system also produce histamine. If you have dysbiosis, SIBO, or an overactive gut immune response, try taking 1 capsule on an empty stomach. If you feel better within 30 minutes, that tells you your microbiome or gut immune system is producing excess histamine.
