Genetics plays a big role in how well your body breaks down histamine. You can use your genetic data to figure out if your genes are part of the reason why you have histamine intolerance.
Cow’s milk allergy can be due to your immune system responding to casein or β-lactoglobulin. Genetic variants in immune-system genes increase susceptibility – along with environmental factors.
Fructose intolerance can be due to a rare mutation in the ALDOB gene or it can be due to reduced intestinal absorption.
Nickel allergy can cause sensitivity to foods that contain nickel. Learn about how genes increase susceptibility and solutions.
Your genes control whether you are likely to produce lactase as an adult. Check your 23andMe or other genetic data to see if you are likely to enjoy a big glass of milk.
Do you have a food allergy? Discover how environmental factors and genetic susceptibility can shape individual reactions.
Tyramine intolerance happens when you can’t break it down. Too much tyramine can lead to a hypertensive crisis. Learn more and check your genetic raw data for results.
Mushrooms contain a healthy antioxidant called ergothioneine. But for people with a SLC22A4 genetic variant, this antioxidant can be too much of a good thing, leading to intestinal problems. Check your genetic data to see if you carry this mushroom intolerance variant.
