Diferenciální diagnóza histaminové intolerance
Lektinova intolerance
- Potentially problematic lectins include:
- Certain grains
- Beans and lentils
- Certain nuts
- Certain seeds, including seed-based spices
- Plants in the cucumber family, including melons, squash, and cucumbers
- Nightshade plants, such as tomatoes, peppers, and potatoes
- Genetically modified foods (GMOs) – these are made with potentially concerning lectins
- Cooking or pressure cooking can break down some lectin groups, though.
- Lectins can be reduced in these foods by peeling, seeding (for vegetables with seeds), and pressure cooking:
- Winter squashes (ie. spaghetti, acorn, butternut, etc)
- Summer squashes (yellow, zucchini)
- Potatoes
- Rice
- Oats
- Beans
- Lentils
- Buckwheat
- Lectins can break down the gut barrier.
- Gluten found in wheat, rye, and barley can open the gut barrier
- Can cause leaky gut.
- Can cause more food sensitivities.
- Lectins can contribute to autoimmunity.
- Lectins can also affect the gut bacteria and throw them off-balance
- Can also contribute to autoimmunity.
- At low doses, wheat germ lectins seem to block insulin function.
- Found in the brains of patients with psychiatric disorders
- Some of these lectins bind to neurotransmitter receptors and affect brain functioning.
- Some specific concerns for people with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome
- histamine-intolerance/">mastcell360.com/lectins-low-lectin-foods-and-the-mast-cell-connection-for-those-with-mast-cell-activation-syndrome-or-histamine-intolerance/
- Toll-like receptor on mast cells
- Bacteria, viruses, molds, and even lectins.
- Set off a lot of mast cell activation in sensitive people.
- Overactivated, they trigger the mast cells to release mediators.
- Problematic lectins can also cause leaky gut
- Lectins to get absorbed into the bloodstream intact.
- Activate all types of immune cells, especially mast cells
- Immunoglobulin E (IgE) also has a role in lectin sensitivities.
- IgE binding to allergens can activate mast cells
- Lectins recognize a portion of IgE
- Some allergies or pre-existing Mast Cell Activation, food lectins can make these worse.
Potato lectins
- Can activate both mast cells and basophils in people with allergic tendencies
- People with allergies should not eat a lot of potatoes.
Lectins can contribute to inflammation, especially for:
- Mast Cell Activation Syndrome
- Histamine Intolerance
- Mold Toxicity
- Autoimmunity
Factors that can make you sensitive to lectins
- Genetic predisposition
- Immune system triggers
- Mold toxicity and infections
- Stress or limbic system activation
- Deficiencies of nutrients important for immune tolerance
- Vitamins A and D, and Zinc
- Mold Toxicity can lead to increases in lectin sensitivities.
- Mold Toxicity can contribute to:
- A leaky gut
- Overall immune activation, including mast cells
- Nervous system problems
- Lectins can also worsen leaky gut and activate the immune cells
- Many people with Mold Toxicity also have a leaky brain
- Lectins can also worsen neurological and mental health issues.
- Once I removed lectins, my joint pain and brain fog significantly improved
- Every case of lectin sensitivity is different.
- You may also tolerate some lectins but not others.
- Or you may be able to tolerate some lectins in small doses.

- Salicylate Intolerance is very common in Mold Toxicity.
- Can cause a variety of symptoms similar to MCAS.
- mastcell360.com/mast-cell-activation-syndrome-diet/
- With Salicylate Intolerance, tolerating herbal supplements can be a struggle.
- Quercetin supplements (and many foods with quercetin) are high salicylate.
Colitis
Kalprotectin
- Je možné, že osoba má kolitidu, i když jsou její hladiny kalprotektinu v normálním rozmezí.
- Kalprotektin je bílkovina, kterou produkují bílé krvinky při zánětlivých procesech v trávicím traktu.
- Zvýšené hladiny kalprotektinu mohou naznačovat přítomnost zánětu v trávicím traktu
- Ale nízké hladiny kalprotektinu nemohou vyloučit zánětlivé onemocnění.
Ulcerózní kolitida nebo Crohnova choroba
- Mohou být přítomny, i když jsou hladiny kalprotektinu v normálním rozmezí
- Proto je důležité, aby lékař provedl důkladné vyšetření a stanovil diagnózu na základě různých klinických a laboratorních faktorů
- Nikoli pouze na základě hladin kalprotektinu.
Jaké markery mohou ukazovat na pritomnost kolitidy?
- Projevuje klinickými příznaky
- Bolest břicha,
- Průjem,
- Krvácení z řiti,
- únava
- Ztráta hmotnosti
Endoskopie a biopsie
Krevní testy
- CRP
- Sedimentace erytrocytů (ESR)
Stolice testy
- K detekci infekce nebo zánětu v trávicím traktu.
Rentgenové nebo CT vyšetření
- K vizualizaci střeva a případné detekci zánětu.
Ultrazvukové vyšetření
- K vizualizaci střeva a případné identifikaci zánětu.
Dg HIT
- Stanovení diagnózy HIT = vyloučení ostatních možných příčin
- A pozitivní klinický efekt nízkohistaminové diety
- Diagnóza HIT = diagnosis per exclusione
- Zvažovat při přítomnosti alespoň 2 HIT symptomů
- Manifestují do 4 hodin po konzumaci potraviny
- Zohlednit další diagnózy a používanou medikaci

FODMAPs (??)
- mastcell360.com/mast-cell-activation-syndrome-diet/
- Short chain carbohydrates and sugar alcohols found in foods
- Beans
- Onions
- Garlic
- Brussel sprouts
- Cauliflower
- FODMAP sensitivity when their gut flora gets out of balance
- Can be tricky to track down sulfur and FODMAP sensitivities
- Usually require elimination diets.
Intolerance to sulfites
- Often get headaches,
- Flushing,
- Sinus problems
- Skin issues
- After consuming foods like
- Deli meats, dried fruits, and red wine
- Have sulfites in them
Sulfite oxidase (SUOX) enzyme
- Enzyme that lowers sulfite in the body
- Cofactor is molybdenum
Molybdenum
- Essential micronutrient
- Therapeutically to support sulfur metabolism
- Crucial role in
- Dental health,
- Carbohydrate metabolism,
- Kidney waste removal,
- Iron transportation,
- Release, and toxin breakdown in the liver

Mastocytóza
- Mast cell reactions
- Can show up almost immediately
- Mast Cell Activation Syndrome tend to have sensitivities beyond just histamine foods
HIT
- Histamine reactions
- Usually need at least 30 minutes to set up
- Can happen hours or even up to a couple days later
- Digestion will create histamine
- Symptoms get a lot better with a low histamine diet
- mastcell360.com/histamine-intolerance-vs-mast-cell-activation-syndrome/
Oxalates
- Tiny crystals that are also found in plants
- People with dysbiosis, leaky gut, low B1 or B6, and certain genetic predispositions
- Can have more trouble with oxalates than others.
- Molds and candida feed on oxalates
- People dealing with these issues can have more trouble with oxalates
- You can have oxalate issues from leaky gut and Mold Toxicity as well.
- oxalate issues in about 50% of clients with MCAS.
- If there is joint pain, muscle pain (like fibromyalgia), urinary burning, interstitial cystitis, chronic UTI type symptoms with negative culture
- May be worthwhile to explore Oxalate Intolerance.
- mastcell360.com/mast-cell-activation-syndrome-diet/
- Carrots
- Radishes
- Beets (Note: Very high oxalate)
SIBO
Sulfur intolerance
- Sulfur foods can cause trouble for some people.
- It mostly affects people with
- Genetic weaknesses for sulfur metabolism
- Low in B6 and/or molybdenum.
- mastcell360.com/mast-cell-activation-syndrome-diet/
- Can be difficult to distinguish the symptoms of histamine intolerance and sulfur intolerance.
- Both can present with hives, itchiness, asthma, headaches, nausea, fatigue, flushing, and brain fog—and sometimes a problem with one can lead to a problem with the other.
The Methylation Connection - histamine intolerance and sulfur intolerance
- You may be more predisposed to both sulfur intolerance, and to histamine intolerance
- Mutations of MTHFR
- Deficient in the vitamins that act as methyl donors (primarily folate and Vitamin B12)
Homocysteine
- Breakdown product of the methylation pathway
- Sulfur-containing compound
- Inefficient methylation cycle leading to increased levels of homocysteine
- May also trickle down into higher levels of sulfites
- As long as the body can convert sulfites to sulfates
- Detoxification pathways which require sulfur, this won’t lead to a sulfur problem
- If this pathway is also compromised for whatever reason
- Then sulfur sensitivity and histamine intolerance might coexist.
- Low homocysteine corresponds to sulfur intolerance
- All been funneled into sulfites
- Cannot convert to sulfates from there
Causes for sulfur intolerance include
- CBS mutation,
- SUOX mutation
- Molybdenum deficiency,
- A magnesium deficiency,
- vitamin B6 or B3 deficiency
- Enzymes overwhelmed in cases of significant environmental toxicity
- Sulfur is required for three of the liver’s six main pathways for detoxification.
- Hydrogen Sulfide SIBO (H2S) also coexists as a compensatory mechanism
- histamine-and-sulfur-are-related/">www.drlaurendeville.com/how-histamine-and-sulfur-are-related/
- Inability to properly process sulfur
- Is linked to a downstream inability to efficiently regulate histamine.
- The body is able to use sulfur in the body as sulfate.
- When the conversion of sulfur to sulfate is slowed or compromised
- Concentrations of sulfate in the body are depleted,
- Concentrations of sulfur and sulfite may remain elevated.

- Allergic and inflammatory responses
- Compromised gut integrity
- Arthritis
- Dysbiosis
- Impaired cholesterol sulfate metabolism
- Decreased gallbladder function and bile acid activity
- Gallstones
- Kidney stones and calcifications.
- Metabolizes sulfur is the CBS gene
- Disruption of sulfur metabolism, and any mutations
- Depletion of the compound SAM-e
- Increase in histamine levels in the body
- CBS gene is impaired is an excess accumulation of hydrogen sulfide gas (H2S)
- That may lead to gut dysbiosis.
- Normal levels of hydrogen sulfide help regulate
- Gut inflammation and motility, oxidative stress,
- Ulcer healing, apoptosis,
- Vascular tone, and hormone secretion.
Imbalances in H2S due to gut dysbiosis may lead to
- Crohn’s disease, IBS, IBD,
- Ulcerative colitis,
- Obesity,
- Sepsis.
- Too much hydrogen sulfide
- May also be linked to adrenal insufficiency
- Due to H2S helping to control mitochondrial function in the adrenal tissue (Wang et al., 2014).
H2S imbalances could be linked to
- Stress,
- Excessive meat consumption,
- High sulfur diets,
- Genetic predispositions that impair sulfur metabolism (Teigen et al., 2019).
- Sulfate-reducing bacteria in the gut
- Produce excess hydrogen sulfide gas when they ferment carbohydrates, further disrupting microbiome health, inducing an immune response, and increasing intestinal permeability and gut inflammation (Figliuolo et al., 2017).
- bodybio.com/blogs/blog/histamine-sensitivity
- When the body cannot properly break down glutathione
- Increased production of hydrogen sulfide gas
- Especially in cases of SIBO.
- Hydrogen sulfide causes breakdown of the mucus barrier
- Reduces concentrations of the mineral molybdenum
- Crucial for the regulation of histamine.
