I wish it didn't take so many years to begin to piece together all this stuff
about diet and allergies and good health.
That's fascinating about no bee sting swelling. I have been increasingly
allergic to bee stings. The allergen in bee stings is histamine, I know; I
have looked up histamines several times on the Web but didn't find anything I
could understand. Like many of the postings on this list, the explanations of
histamine were so detailed that I couldn't follow them, much less relate them
to larger principles. Anyway, I have also been severely allergic to poison
ivy, poison oak, and poison sumac -- almost hospitalized as a kid and was
hospitalized in college -- and that also is from something histamine-
connected.
So what is the relationship between gluten intolerance and histamines? What
other ramifications are there of this complex?
