Around 1% of the population is thought to suffer from Histamine Intolerance. Symptoms include pruritus, urticaria, angioedema, flushing, headaches and tachycardia, but the condition is poorly understood and sufferers often fail to get either a diagnosis or effective treatment. 

'Histamine Intolerance: A Comprehensive Guide for Healthcare Professionals’ is designed to enable health professionals both to identify the condition and implement strategies to manage it.

Dr Janice Vickerstaff Joneja has specialised in the clinical management of histamine sensitivity since the 1990s. She has distilled over 20 years of experience first into a ‘Beginner’s Guide’ for histamine intolerance sufferers and now into this much more comprehensive, fully referenced guide for health professionals. Included are cases studies, treatment advice including medications and a full food list.
