Have you blamed a particular food for causing uncomfortable symptoms - digestive distress, migraines, skin flare-ups - only to be symptom-free when enjoying that same food on vacation or in a relaxed setting? If so, you’re not alone. Many people develop food fears based on past experiences without realizing that food sensitivities are often not just about the food itself, but also about the state of your body and mind when you eat it.

As women transition through perimenopause and menopause, hormonal fluctuations can trigger unexpected symptoms, with histamine sensitivity being one of the lesser-known culprits. If you experience mysterious skin rashes, headaches, fatigue, or digestive issues, it may be worth exploring how your body responds to histamine.
