LNN Posted January 17, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 17, 2014 Toaks - I don't have any experience with histadine but Walsh/Pfeiffer & co. advise using folinic acid, B12 (probably hydroxy form for overmethylators) and niacin to try to increase histamine. They advise avoiding Vitamin C, since C is an antihistamine. But in cold/flu season with a PANS kid, I'm still going to give C. Just starting my experiment of using these to see if the tic improves. Too soon to tell yet. TeamTyrion 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakrpa Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 I came across that same article citing an HDC gene defect as cause of Tourettes. Has anyone else tried increasing histamine levels? What were the effects - good/bad? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kakrpa Posted May 22, 2014 Report Share Posted May 22, 2014 Also, how do we know if this means histamine levels are to be increased OR decreased? That's what I have a hard time interpreting from the findings. Btw, that's interesting to hear vit c is an antihistamine. Wonder if that explains why my anxiety levels mysteriously increase whenever I attempt to add a vit c supp! Taking vit c I had thought was supposed to help w anxiety and not increase it. But maybe in my case this is why? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
