Slovak Immunologist Explains Histamine Intolerance: Problem Not in Food, but Processing

Slovak immunologist Hrubiško has addressed the growing discussion around histamine intolerance, a condition that is increasingly diagnosed but often misunderstood. The expert explained that the problem lies not in the food itself, but in how the body processes histamine, pointing to the difference between regular bread and sourdough bread as an example. Histamine intolerance presents with unclear symptoms that are easily confused with other health problems, ranging from digestive issues to skin problems and headaches. This makes diagnosis challenging, as it can be difficult to distinguish between normal bodily reactions and actual intolerance. While some people self-diagnose the condition, others suffer from long-term symptoms without ever having heard of histamine intolerance.
