Taking DAO enzyme has helped me tremendously

Hey all,

I’ve been fighting MCAS for many years now. At my worst, I reacted to all but maybe 10 foods and my throat would tighten/swell immediately after being exposed to fragrances/chemicals. I would also break out in burning hives after eating high histamine foods.

I got my DAO checked and found out it’s low, and my body doesn’t make adequate levels of it. DAO is an enzyme your body is supposed to make naturally to help process/digest histamine. Once I started supplementing it, I am now able to tolerate eating high histamine foods again without developing hives.

I’m still cautious and don’t go crazy with what I eat, but I’m enjoying ketchup with my fries again, and used to that was a huge offender.

Hope this helps!
