π₯ Struggling with Menopause and Choline Levels? π
During peri-menopause and menopause there is a decline in oestrogen. This decline can impact choline production.
Here's how:
π¬ Oestrogen and Choline Conversion
Lower oestrogen can reduce how efficiently choline is converted into essential compounds like phosphatidylcholine and acetylcholine.
π§ Acetylcholine Impact
Oestrogen influences acetylcholine production, which affects memory, learning, and mood. Reduced oestrogen can lead to lower acetylcholine levels, impacting cognitive function and emotional stability.
π¬ Phosphatidylcholine Levels
Oestrogen helps maintain phosphatidylcholine, crucial for cell membranes and liver function. With decreased oestrogen, phosphatidylcholine levels drop, affecting cellular integrity and detoxification.
β οΈ Increased Risk of Choline Deficiency
Impaired choline metabolism and lower oestrogen can increase choline deficiency risk, leading to cognitive decline, mood issues, and liver problems.
πΏ Tip: Women in peri-menopause or menopause should ensure adequate choline intake through diet or supplements to support overall health.

The Long-Term Consequences of Impaired Digestion If left unaddressed, impaired digestion can lead to: π Malabsorption Syndromes: Chronic nutrient deficiencies due to poor digestion can result in conditions like anemia, osteoporosis, and muscle wasting. π¦ Gut Dysbiosis and Inflammation: Undigested food particles can feed harmful bacteria in the gut, leading to dysbiosis, inflammation, and increased intestinal permeability ("leaky gut"). π§ Mental Health Issues: Nutrient deficiencies can affect neurotransmitter production, leading to symptoms such as anxiety, depression, and brain fog. π₯¦ Immune Dysfunction: Impaired digestion can weaken the immune system, increasing susceptibility to infections and autoimmune conditions. β‘οΈ Read more about digestive enzymes and histamine intolerance in this monthβs blog, www.happywithouthistamine.com/digestive-enzymes-and-histamine-intolerance -- #histamine #histamineintolerance #happywithouthistamine #lowhistamine #lowhistaminemealplan #lowhistaminefoods #brainfood #stress #nervoussystem #stressed #lowhistaminesupport #brain #blog #digestiveenzymes #malabsorption
3 more myths about histamine intolerance: β‘οΈ Histamine Intolerance Only Affects the Digestive System Fact: Histamine intolerance can affect multiple systems in the body, including the skin, respiratory system, and nervous system. Symptoms can include headaches, hives, nasal congestion, and anxiety. β‘οΈ Histamine Intolerance is Rare and Uncommon Fact: Histamine intolerance is more common than many people realize. Itβs often underdiagnosed because its symptoms can overlap with other conditions, leading to misdiagnosis or delay in proper treatment. β‘οΈ Medication Can Completely Cure Histamine Intolerance Fact: There is no single pill to cure histamine intolerance. While medications like antihistamines can help manage symptoms, the condition is best managed through dietary changes, microbiome restoration and nervous system regulation. It is possible to get back to eating foods again by following this method. β‘οΈ What other myths have you heard? -- #histamine #histamineintolerance #happywithouthistamine #lowhistamine #lowhistaminemealplan #lowhistaminefoods #histaminemyths #lowhistaminesupport #myths
Why do we need Digestive enzymes and Stomach acid? Adequate levels of stomach acid and digestive enzymes are essential for several reasons: ππ» 1. Nutrient Absorption: Digestive enzymes and stomach acid break down food into smaller, absorbable molecules. Without them, nutrients such as vitamins, minerals, and amino acids may pass through the digestive system unabsorbed, leading to deficiencies. ππ» 2. Immune System Function: The gut is a major site of immune activity, with a significant portion of the body's immune cells located in the intestines. Proper digestion is crucial for maintaining a healthy gut environment that supports immune function. ππ» 3. Brain and Nervous System Health: The brain and nervous system rely on a steady supply of nutrients, particularly fats, amino acids, and vitamins like B12, to function optimally. Malabsorption due to inadequate enzyme production can lead to nutrient deficiencies that affect brain function, potentially contributing to anxiety, depression, and cognitive decline. ππ» 4. Detoxification: The liver requires a constant supply of nutrients to carry out detoxification processes. Impaired digestion can reduce the availability of these nutrients, compromising the bodyβs ability to detoxify harmful substances. β‘οΈ Read more about digestive enzymes and histamine intolerance in this monthβs blog, www.happywithouthistamine.com/digestive-enzymes-and-histamine-intolerance -- #histamine #histamineintolerance #happywithouthistamine #lowhistamine #lowhistaminemealplan #lowhistaminefoods #blog #lowhistamineliving #lowhistaminesupport #isitlowhistamine #digestiveenzymes #guthealth #digestion

Why are my histamine symptoms worse before my period? Histamine symptoms can worsen before your period due to hormonal changes, like increased oestrogen and prostaglandins, which can trigger histamine release and inflammation. This can lead to heightened sensitivity to histamine and worsened symptoms such as headaches, skin issues, or digestive discomfort. Stress and menstrual cramps can also exacerbate these effects.
