Has anyone had experience with pain and histamine (food sensitivites and pain)

[Colleen1]

I am wanting to hear from other people concerning experiences with chronic pain / Chronic Myofascial Pain and foods with histamine affecting this pain. Apparently the theory is that our body doesn't respond to histamine properly / control the histamine in our body properly and this can cause or increase pain. Foods such as aspartame, processed food, cheese, etc. (including many health foods) contain histamine and can aggravate pain.

I would be interested in this to but have not heard of anything to date.

I do know, food, weight = pain...get thee behind me chocolate.

Well said!!! I had a good chuckle.
Supposedly, histamine which affects allergies can cause some sort of inflamation and add to pain? Apparently studies have been done. One of the doctors I've seen thinks this may add to my pain level. People with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome have chemical sensitivies and allergies. So far the best explanation I've come across is an article on the Vickerstaff Health Services Inc. web site called, "Dietary Management of Histamine Intolerance". I think this is a fairly new approach to pain management. This is new to me so I wanted to hear if others have come across it.

By the way, it's good to hear from you. How are things going?
