Season 4

CONTENT AND LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

Histamine intolerance is an increasingly discussed topic in the nutrition field for which diamine oxidase (DAO) deficiency is known to be an underlying cause. But what impact does the gut microbiota have on histamine intolerance?

In this Journal Club session, we’ll discuss a recently published study which proposed that dysbiosis of the gut may be a significant driver for histamine intolerance. We discuss the abundance of histaminogenic bacteria and how this is linked to the development of symptoms, even in the absence of DAO deficiency.

This session covers:

• Main types of histaminogenic bacteria in the gut
• Gut dysbiosis and it’s impact on DAO deficiency
• Limitations to the evidence-base and the study
• Impact of this research on practice
