Terrible ear itching + mood breakdowns post Probiotic histamineX

Hi guys. Can anyone help me, feeling slumped.

Candida/gut issues caused me MCAS and histamine intolerance. Not sure if this means my candida isn’t fully cleared. Any insight from someone who experienced this helps.

I was having severe MCAS Symptoms that got better with other medical measures. When I added in a histamine X probiotic it really helped with my breathing issues and helped me tolerate food again. However it may have caused other symptoms? I don’t know.

But after taking the probiotic and improving in thst symptom I’m getting more and more emotional / psychological breakdowns and intensive ear itching that is driving me nuts. I can’t stop itching. Wakes me up. It’s intense. All of a sudden got much worse during the probiotic period (2 months). It’s causing me to be erratic and cry and making personal challenges much harder to navigate.

What to consider and do? I have a meeting with my functional nutritionist tomorrow.

I’ve already done restrictive diets and that didn’t help much since it was an underlying fungal issue. I know some triggers may be garlic tomatoes sugar etc.

I’m gluten and dairy free. But I’m gonna go crazy if someone asks me to restrict further. I just want to focus on fixing my gut. Food restrictions didn’t do much to actually and truly resolve any of my isssues. Addressing my gut microbiome has been the only way to reduce symptoms.

I have a glutamine powder for leaky gut but I need to be more consistent.

Terrible ear itching + mood breakdowns post Probiotic

Hi guys. Can anyone help me, feeling slumped.

Candida/gut issues caused me MCAS and histamine intolerance.

I was able to resolve MCAS, with the help of HistamineX probiotic (shortness of breath) symptoms (first time I can have relief without antifungal and so grateful for that).

But after taking the probiotic and improving in thst symptom I’m getting more and more emotional / psychological breakdowns and intensive ear itching that is making me hate my life. Wakes me up. It’s intense. All of a sudden got much worse. It’s causing me to be erratic and cry and making personal challenges much harder to navigate.
