When adding, it should be started with foods that are thought not to harm the person. Foods should be given to the body little by little.In the reintroduction phase, the selected food should be introduced for one day and waited for three days. If the body reacts after the banned food is tried, the transition period to another banned food should be at least one week. If the body does not react, another banned food can be introduced after three days.During the reintroduction phase, a food diary can be kept to identify foods that cause a reaction. This makes it easier both to check the findings and to act according to the results.

Histamine Intolerance: All You Need to Know

Histamine is a product of the breakdown of histidine, an amino acid that participates in many reactions in the body. When histamine, which acts as a neurotransmitter in the immune and digestive system, cannot be eliminated from the body quickly enough and &#x27;histamine intolerance&#x27; develops. Histamine intolerance occurs when the histamine taken into the body cannot be broken down and accumulates in the body and causes allergic reactions in people.This condition usually develops when the DAO enzyme is deficient. This enzyme is the main enzyme responsible for the breakdown of histamine and determines the rate of histamine breakdown. When the DAO enzyme is insufficient and the body cannot break down histamine, health problems begin to appear in the person. Physical reactions may be exacerbated if the diet is high in histamine or rich in foods that cause histamine release. Although the symptoms are similar to allergies, unlike allergies, they are long-lasting and do not appear suddenly. It is also very difficult to diagnose with blood and allergy tests.Symptoms of Histamine Intolerance:DizzinessFatigueHeadacheFlushing, especially of the head and chestNasal congestion, difficulty breathingConstantly runny or itchy noseHerpesFrequent sneezingItchingDry or scaly skinAtopic dermatitisDigestive problems (stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting, heartburn, indigestion, gas, constipation and diarrhea)Heart palpitationsTinnitusRed itchy or watery eyesMenstrual irregularityIrritabilityAnxiety What are the Causes of Histamine Intolerance?-Genetically, some people produce less of the enzymes involved in the breakdown of histamine.-Inflammation of the intestinal lining can disrupt the release of the DAO enzyme. Histamine is therefore broken down more slowly.-If inflammation causes the intestinal lining to become permeable, food sensitivities can develop, which can lead to histamine release.-Certain types of bacteria, which are usually present in a healthy intestine, not only reduce histamine release but also reduce the sensitivity of histamine receptors, lowering their activity. In the presence of SIBO, bacteria that are normally found in the colon pass into the small intestine, which can cause excessive histamine release.-Chronic stress and irregular sleep promote high histamine levels.-Some medical drugs such as aspirin increase histamine release.-High levels of ongoing stress and irregular sleep cause high histamine levels.Certain nutrients are needed for histamine-degrading enzymes to work. These include magnesium, vitamin B6 and vitamin C. How Is Conventional Treatment of Histamine Intolerance Performed? Anti-histamine drugs are designed to reduce the effects of histamine by preventing it from binding to histamine receptors. However, these drugs do not reduce histamine levels, they only block its effect.What is the Histamine Diet, How is it done? The main purpose of the histamine diet is to balance its release in the body by eliminating histamine-rich foods for a while. A low histamine diet should be done for 2-4 weeks to eliminate symptoms. The duration of the diet varies according to the symptoms in the body. With the calming of the symptoms, the foods removed from the diet are reintroduced to the body. This period is called &#x27;reintroduction period’.

The relationship between blood glucose levels and mood is bi-directional. While blood sugar can affect mood, a person&#x27;s mood can also affect blood sugar levels. Some studies show that mood and stress can cause fluctuations in blood sugar levels. This is because under stressful conditions, cortisol supplies glucose to the body by utilising protein stores through gluconeogenesis in the liver. This energy helps the person to fight or escape from any stressor. However, in the long term, high cortisol constantly produces glucose, causing blood sugar levels to rise. Maintaining balance in this bi-directional relationship helps to improve both one&#x27;s physical and mental health, as well as the quality of the relationships one builds. Knowing the possible symptoms that may develop in blood sugar fluctuations can help both the person and those around them to better manage the situation in the management of these symptoms.

Effects of Diabetes on Mental Health

Diabetes is a metabolic disease that affects mental health as well as physical health. Changes in blood sugar can directly affect mood. Having hyperglycaemia or hypoglycaemia attacks may affect the person&#x27;s thoughts and all areas of his/her life. This situation may cause stress in the person and may also reflect negatively on social relations. Knowing that diabetes has such effects can help the person to establish healthier relationships with themselves and the people around them.High blood sugar can affect mood as follows:<ul><li>Concentration difficulty</li><li>Tension and anxiety</li><li>Fatigue or low energy</li></ul>At the same time, the body may release adrenaline to stabilise blood sugar. This activates the body&#x27;s fight-or-flight response. This can lead to the following symptoms:<ul><li>Dizziness</li><li>Visual disturbances</li><li>High awareness</li><li>Restlessness</li><li>Irritability</li></ul>Symptoms of low blood sugar that can affect mood are as follows:<ul><li>Irritability</li><li>Feelings of anxiety</li><li>Confusion</li><li>Coordination, concentration and decision-making difficulties</li><li>Aggression and impatience</li><li>Personality and behaviour changes</li></ul>

What are the Factors Causing Leaky Bowel Syndrome?<ul><li>Frequent use of antibiotics</li><li>Experiencing acute emotional or physical trauma</li><li>Chronic stress</li><li>Chronic dysbiosis</li><li>Use of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, ibuprofen or drugs that act in this way</li><li>Toxins</li><li>Liver toxicity and excess fat consumption</li><li>Alcohol dependence</li></ul>Risk factors for the development of leaky gut include structural/anatomical problems, motility disorders, immunodeficiency, reduced digestive secretions and old age.Which treatment methods should be used?The most effective way to treat this gastrointestinal disorder is to follow the intestinal healing protocol (remove, replace, repair and rebalance). In this, it is important to eliminate foods and factors that damage the intestines and replace them with therapeutic foods. In addition, it is necessary to repair the gut with special supplements such as butyric acid and rebalance the microbiome with probiotics. Other factors that increase treatment success are reducing stress levels, improving sleep quality, and limiting smoking and alcohol consumption.

What is Leaky Bowel Syndrome?

Leaky gut syndrome is a digestive problem that occurs for various reasons. This problem occurs when the tight junctions between the cell layers, which determine what can and cannot enter the bloodstream, are damaged. These junctions are the gateway between the intestines and the bloodstream. Under normal conditions, the tight junctions in the intestine only allow the passage of digested nutrients, minerals and vitamins, but when these junctions are opened, unwanted substances such as toxins, bacteria and undigested food particles also enter the bloodstream. Loosening of this structure is called &#x27;leaky gut syndrome&#x27;. If the immune system does not recognise the various microorganisms and particles that pass into the bloodstream, it can initiate an autoimmune reaction. Recent studies show that almost everyone with autoimmune disease has leaky gut syndrome, with or without symptoms. Leaky gut syndrome can cause various symptoms. It can manifest itself with many symptoms such as food allergies, immune system diseases, skin problems, neurological problems, vitamin deficiencies, untreated depression, chronic headache, fibromyalgia, constipation, diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome, chronic fatigue. Some people do not experience any digestive symptoms despite the presence of leaky gut. Instead, swelling of the hands and feet after eating, muscle tension and stiffness in the morning, brain fog and distraction when certain foods are consumed.

Following the theory of Hippocrates, 'There is no illness, there is only the ill individual,' rather than diagnosing, the treatment based on running the collapsed systems has resulted in a more quality life for me personally. I am experiencing the happiness of change, being able to manage stress, and becoming a person who can lead a better life.

I met Dr. Murat last year. Our conversations about nutrition and healthy living were very enjoyable. I experienced a three-month IV therapy course with him and was very satisfied. I didn't get sick at all throughout the winter. I also quit smoking after the New Year. We had long discussions about this topic. I am considering continuing on the same path with Dr. Murat in the coming years.
