Re: No-fenol does not help with amine intolerance per Devin

[Guest guest]

,

I agree this is a often over-looked area. Do you have any links in

particular that talk about the amine issue? foods? symptoms? etc

I wonder if there is a higher prevalence of ammonia with amine

sensitive people. Several neurotransmitters are amines (dopamine,

serotonin) and neurotransmitters imbalances are a common problem. Of

course, there are the histamine reactions too (chemical and food

sensitivities).

I haven't really hit upon anything much about enzymes and amines,

although that would be a next interesting area of research. You

know, enzymes weren't supposed to be able to help with the phenol

problems until some parents and Dr Houston investigated it and came

up with No-Fenol. Maybe he has an amine-zyme up his sleeve next?!

My son was able to eat foods with high amines, with No-Fenol enzyme.

Not all amine-foods, but many of them. Like bananas and chocolate, a

few others. He was not able to eat all salicylate OR amine foods with

that enzyme, but many of them.

I have not been reading this group for a long while but just stumbled

on this one. My daughters are very intolerant of salicylates, amines,

msg and many additives. They do not have autism or other

developmental problems, just food intolerance. We have been using No-

Fenol for 8 months, It helps them with salicylate fruits and

vegetables but we have not had any luck increasing their tolerance of

tomato or other high amine fruits.

We are resigned to no more chocolate ever again. Carob is a

reasonable alternative and after a while it tastes OK.

I have some links re amins and other chemical intolerances if anyone

is interested.

tasmanian kids are chronically short of vitmain d,a, selenium and

iodine.

molybdenum can help with food tolerance.

intolerance can be a general symptom of gastrointestinal

disorder/heavy metals toxicity/low thyroid/intestinal

yeast ............

Would an antihistimine,i.e. Benedryl, help those with intolerances to

amines?

-I would have to disagree here. My daughter could eat many with no

fenol she could not tolerate without. Must depend on the child.
