Hello has anyone else had histamine problems when starting to attack co infections? When I started to go after my EBstein Bare Virus. I got increased histamine reactions. I didn't know at the time I had Bartonella yet. Now going after Bartonella. I get flushed face. Food sensitivities such as tight throat feeling. Increased heart rate. Anxiety well that comes with Bart and everything else anyways. Just wondering if anyone has these issues when starting treatment. I am doing a leaky gut protocol as well to seek up the gut.

I'm wondering if you're having an allergic reaction. What treatment are you on? What ever you're taking, I'd stop it for a couple of days to see what happens.

Michelle-I've always gotten a bright red left facial cheek and what looks like rashing on my left arm from mid bicep to mid forearm. No clue as to why only those areas but I can tell before I look that my cheek will be bright red. It coincides with my feeling really lousy. It was happening all the time about a few weeks ago. I follow Better Health Guy on Facebook and he posted an article on MCAS with the title Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS): When Histamine Goes Haywire…

I found it really helpful. I added both Benedryl and Zyrtec to start and that really helped. I stopped the Benedryl after 2 days but have stayed on the Zyrtec.

Zantac helps with sensation of throat tightening. I have many foods allergies and also have problems with leaky gut and candida. I have been battling both of these problems for over a decade to no avail. I understand that Bart messes up the gut. I take 2 Zyrtec, 2 Zantac (150 mg per tablet) and Benadryl every day to combat the histamine overload. This is on top of watching my diet, not eating wheat, carbs, nuts, sugar or caffeine.

I heard allergies are quite common with Lyme and co-infections. Since my tick bite in April and the following Lyme diagnosis I've been constantly developing new allergies: my body reacts badly to foods that were OK before, I often get rash/eczema from cosmetic products, recently I had an allergic reaction to Doxycycline and I will probably have to stop taking it. I have never been prone to allergies, at least not as much as I am now. I was diagnosed with EBV and Mycoplasma, I probably have Yersinia and Bart too.

I guess antibiotics can also contribute greatly to developing allergic reactions as they change the gut flora.
