Has anyone used gaba or magnesium and experienced improvement in mcas/histamine intolerance issues? I’ve been looking around a lot at gaba/glutamate/magnesium because of my vision issues. For reasons no practitioner could explain to me licorice root and lemon balm helped my vision. I tried various things to see which aspect of these might be helping my vision, it didn’t seem to be bp, cortisol, anti fungal, antiviral, or antibacterial aspects of these two herbs since I they either did opposite things or I tried other meds with the same characteristics and they didn’t help.
My latest guess is that it’s because glutamate and gaba are opposites and apparently licorice lowers glutamate and lemon balm increases gaba. This seems to be a promising guess since magnesium helps me eyes and it’s known for calming nerves and I think maybe blocking glutamate? Basically it send the the glutamate/gaba balance in the same direction favoring gaba. When I was squeezing the internet to look for this stuff I came across a few things that said magnesium and gaba also help mcas or decrease histamine. But there wasn’t a lot of information on this, so I’m wondering if anyone has more info or has experience with it.
I’m trying to convince myself to try gaba despite knowing it historically has crashed my bp so I need to convince myself it’ll solve all my problems 🤣
