| 0:25.1 | The Canadian Journal of Gastrantoology and Hepatology has found that in those with |
| 0:31.5 | digestive symptoms, 30 to 50% of these people might have histamine intolerance. |
| 0:39.9 | So we're thinking reflux, food reactivity really of any sword, |
| 0:44.9 | but potentially also manifesting as loose bowels, |
| 0:48.9 | bloating, distension, diarrhea, or constipation. |
| 0:52.1 | Histamine intolerance might be what underlies that. |
| 0:55.0 | Now, the hallmark of histamine intolerance, in my view anyway, is really reactivity to food, |
