Seeking Health DAO Enzyme – Formerly Histamine Digest, DAO Enzyme Supplement for Histamine Food Intolerance, Supports Digestive Health, Contains Porcine [ Pig-Derived] Extract, 30 Capsules

I am 35yrs old and I had suffer 2 mayor allergy events in my life. The first time I had an allergy crysis was 8 years ago, it itched like hell and the only way I was able to get rid of the hives (I had nettle rash in 90% of my body), was using steroids for 3 months and Zyrtec for the itching. Since then, I has been healthy, til 2 months ago that I have had another hive crysis due to a combination of factors. After using 5 dosis of strong steroids I was looking for a subsitute that helped me to control my reaction in bad days, after doing some research I read about DOA suplement enzyme and I understood what It does and I believed it can help me blocking the new formation of histamine in my body to stop inyecting me steroids til a found an alternative treatment or solution. Well, I have to say that It is effective. The instructions says that you need to take 2 capsules 20 minutes after each histamine rich food, but as this is the first time to me using enzime supplemets I started with only 1 capsule. It has decreased the reaction at least 60%, the effectiveness of this pill is amazing. But beware, is not safe to play with your inmune system without medical supervision. After a couple of days, when I noticed that the strengh of the reaction were minimal, I decided to stop taking DAO, and I only took it when any food gave me a strong reaction or when I felt that I will get worse. Then I took 1 capsule of DAO AFTER eating the food, and the result were almost in real time, in 5-10 minutes the reaction stopped and the hives started to dissapear. All the allergies and individuals are different, but as a person that has fail in despair to find a solution, I wanted to share my experience with this DAO supplement and the allergy that produces hives in the skin, this is the only thing besides benadryl that Is able to stop the hives in my skin, and that is something. But, as I though, this DAO supplement is not a treatment, it's a palliative, and I was tired of dealing with the crysis, even having a strict diet of low-histamine food. I understood that the mastocites of our body were over reacting for some reason, and that reason was outside the reach of the DAO supplement. So in the meantime, I found a new allergy specialyst that started treating me. He explains me the risk of taking DAO without studying/treat the main cause of the allergy. He started to treat my respiratory system, and he supressed me the DAO suplement. I have been without reaction til now, but I keep this DAO suplement as an emergency plan if I ever have a relapse, it is effective attacking the cause, not the consequence. Nevertheless from now on, this DAO supplement is a must-have in my emergency resources.

Works great for my daughter’s allergy’s. Easy to take. Has been helpful for sure

I have rosacea. Several years ago I noticed that my skin was getting very dry and flaky. Also my fingertips were getting so dry, that in the winter they would crack and bleed. Another issue I had was waking up in the middle of the night with a terribly dry mouth: I had a hard time getting saliva started at night. I was so thirsty during the day I would drink 10+ glasses a water every day, and still felt thirsty. It was like I had eaten cotton. I read a review on line about a rosacea product, and the reviewer mentioned that maybe his dry skin was related to food histamine. That review sent me researching all about food histamine and brought me to this product. It took several months to clean up my eating habits and get that excess histamine out of my system. Apparently our bodies are suppose to make a digestive enzyme called DAO, that helps to break down food histamine so our bodies can tolerate it. As we age or take certain medications, some bodies stop making enough DAO. This product helps to supplement that need. Its expensive. but worth it. I can now get by on just taking just one pill 2-3 times a week, and all my dry skin and thirst issues stay under control. But, if I miss a week or more, they start to come back. So I know this product works.

I got this because I have a non IGE mediated soy allergy and MCAS. I take it when I am at a restaurant and suspect I might have some soy. I definitely notice a difference as far as if I take this versus if I don’t. As far as histamine goes, fighting release helps a little bit with whatever you’ve got. What I notice most is a slightly less scratchy throat, better GI tolerance, and a *little* less bloat. I like it enough that I have bought quite a few bottles and believe it’s worth a try.

I had read a review that said this would help process alcohol, I don’t understand the science behind it, but it works, I had given up enjoying a glass of wine or a mixed drink, but if I take two of these 15 minutes before I have a drink And only have one drink, it does not disrupt my sleep or cause a headache!

Received in April. I used other product first, decided to give it a try today but the item was already open despite having a seal on the outside. I am not sure if the product has been tampered with and I’m concerned about purchasing anything else from this brand again.

Well done Amazon for supplying me with this product and at a good price!

Have struggled for years with histamine intolerance. After trying so many supplements this for me is the best to use when the meal has slightly higher levels of histamine than I would normally tolerate .

Good post considering it came from across the pond. Item was as described.
