Working off Alison Vickery’s associated bacteria list for histamine producing bacteria, I added a feature to the histamine page — I took all of these bacteria and used the website AI to look for things that they may have in common.
There appear to be a pattern — some highlights are below. Including children/parents did result is some dramatic shifts:
- Berbine went from strong take to neutral
- VSL#3,bifidobacterium bb-12, jumped to strong avoid
I will leave it to readers to explore further.

The above is strictly a conceptual exploration assuming that the cause is a microbiome shift. Many of the items may initially trigger histamine release.
