Hello all,

I'm still quite new to the concept of a Low Histamine Diet. I tried a Low Fodmap diet a couple of years ago and learned that my body doesn't like beans and mangoes but that was about all I learned.

However the list of symptoms related to Histamine Intolerance is just me as a person: Migraines, GERD, Stomach issues, Skin issues and I have a ton of environmental allergies that went away when I lived in Arizona but are awful in the PNW.

I started a low histamine diet about a week and a half ago, at first my breakfast was low Histamine, then breakfast and lunch for a few days and I'm probably on day 4 of 100% low Histamine other than soy milk (to try and help with hormonal migraines) and coffee (1/2 cup).

The last 3 days have been just awful. Thursday I thought I had the flu, but no fever. Every joint in my body hurt SO BAD, I was exhausted, and just felt sick. Yesterday I had zero strength, going up a flight of stairs felt like climbing a mountain and felt a little icky. The last two days I have had so much lower stomach pain, today my energy is ok but I'm also just laying around.

Is this bacteria die off? Has anyone else experienced this during the transition stage? Or should I be concerned and back off the diet?

Hello!

I guess I just wanted to share my experience. I'm on tray 30 of 50. Maybe 2 months ago I thought I noticed some gum recession on my front two lower teeth. Over a few weeks it got worse and I mentioned it on my follow up with my Ortho.

He said to keep an eye on it, but I ended up going to my dentist for a cleaning and asked them to check the level of recession while I was there. They then referred me to a periodontist who now says I'll need a gum graft. T^T

The recession is happening because my front teeth are being tilted too far forward for my gums to handle, I now have to pause treatment while I get new aligners and we're going to try to file enamel between teeth in an attempt to avoid pulling my premolars.

My Ortho said to just wear my aligners at night and this feels so, so weird to not wear them during the day. I'm also feeling sensitive because I assume my teeth are moving on their own. He said I could wear them all day if I wanted BUT one is starting to split a little and I've already been wearing this same set for 3 weeks, idk if they'd make it another 3 if I wore them 24/7. Has anyone else been told to wear their aligners halfway through a treatment only at night during a pause? How did that go for you? I suspect it will be a tight fit putting them back on every night.
