🧩 Could your “IBS” actually be SIBO or constipation?

🌿 These two conditions overlap with IBS and sometimes people get misdiagnosed

🦠 SIBO happens when bacteria build up in the small intestine
Causing gas, bloating, pain, and altered bowel habits

🍽️ Even small meals can leave you feeling excessively bloated
Or like food just “sits” in your stomach

🚫 Constipation isn’t just an inconvenience
It can increase pressure, change gut bacteria, and make IBS-C worse

⚡ Long-term constipation can also heighten visceral hypersensitivity
Making your gut more reactive and sensitive

💡 Understanding whether it’s IBS, SIBO, or constipation matters
Because the triggers and treatment are different

❓ Could histamine be behind your symptoms?
Histamine intolerance is often overlooked, but it can affect many areas of your health.
Here are some of the most common signs:

🍽️ Digestive symptoms
Bloating, abdominal pain, diarrhoea, reflux, or constipation may flare when histamine builds up.

🌸 Skin symptoms
Flushing, hives, rashes, or itchy skin can be triggered by histamine overload.

🌬️ Respiratory symptoms
Sneezing, congestion, runny nose, or asthma-like symptoms may appear after high-histamine foods.

🧠 Neurological symptoms
Headaches, dizziness, fatigue, anxiety, or sleep issues are also linked to histamine.

🌙 Menstrual symptoms
Painful or heavy periods and PMS can be worse with histamine intolerance.

💡 When to get support
If you recognise these symptoms, know you’re not alone, and relief is possible. Read more about what histamine intolerance comment BLOG for our free articles.

“Your nervous system listens to every choice you make, small daily pauses matter more than grand gestures.”

So often we look for big, dramatic fixes when it comes to health. But the reality is that your body responds most to the simple things you repeat every day.
🌸 A few deep breaths before you eat
🌸 Going to bed at a consistent time
🌸 Choosing fresh, nourishing foods
🌸 Taking five minutes to step outside and reset

These small moments may feel insignificant, but together they create the foundation your body needs to calm, repair and find balance again.

The role of gut bacteria in IBS 🌿
IBS isn’t just about sensitivity or nervous system regulation.
Research shows that imbalances in the gut microbiome are often part of the picture.

🫧 Dysbiosis can drive gas and bloating
Excess fermentation from “unhelpful” bacteria creates uncomfortable pressure

🚽 Dysbiosis can disrupt bowel patterns
Constipation, diarrhoea, or swings between both are common

🧩 Dysbiosis can increase gut permeability
A “leaky gut” makes the gut lining more reactive and sensitive

⚡ Dysbiosis can interact with histamine intolerance
Some gut bacteria actually produce histamine, adding to symptoms

💡 Supporting a healthy, balanced microbiome can play a key role in managing IBS

Living with histamine intolerance can feel confusing 😣.

Foods that seem healthy often trigger headaches, bloating, or skin reactions.

A low-histamine food guide takes the guesswork out of daily choices, helping you understand which foods are safest ✅ and which may cause flare-ups 🚫.

It’s not about restriction forever 🍽️. It is about finding your own threshold and giving your body the chance to calm inflammation, restore gut balance, and rebuild tolerance over time.

➡️ With guidance, you can start creating meals that are both nourishing and symptom-friendly so food feels supportive again, not stressful.

Client win: From failing health to feeling clearer, lighter, and calmer 🌿✨

Before starting with Happy Without Histamine, this client was dealing with chronic constipation, a shrinking list of safe foods, and the feeling that their health was slipping fast ⬇️.

After completing the course:

💡 Mental clarity is much improved
⚖️ Weight loss has been a welcome bonus
🔥 Lower inflammation has made a huge difference
🚫 Constipation is no longer an issue

While increasing food variety will take more time due to more complex issues, the progress so far has been life-changing, especially because this course focuses on the mental health factors that often drive gut health problems.

Their results speak for themselves:

📊 Digestive assessment: started at 29 ➡️ 7
📊 Symptom questionnaire: started at 105 ➡️ 25

That's such a huge drop in just a few months!
“If I hadn’t started HWH, I would be on a steep downhill slide to much more serious health issues.” 💛

Why Happy Without Histamine?

Hello! I'm Luanne a clinical nutritionist from Melbourne, Australia. I have histamine intolerance, so I created this page to help others like myself.

Why so happy?

Well, I was miserable with hives, anaphylactic episodes, fatigue, brain fog, skin rash, chills, hot flushes, and digestive disorders and wondering what on earth was wrong with me when I had a lightbulb moment. Maybe it’s histamine!

The next day, I started myself on a low histamine diet. From my training I have some knowledge about the top 10 histamine containing foods and this helped a little bit. So I then delved deep into the research and created my own list. After a few weeks of eating this way I finally started to really feel better. I actually realised I felt happy for the first time in ages.

I tidied up my low histamine list and provided it free to everyone, so that they could have more information about what might be troubling them.

I then received a lot of questions asking me if I knew of any good resources or recipes books that might help. There were a few around but none that I felt covered the full range of foods that needed to be covered. So I created the Ultra Low Histamine meal plan and recipe book. It contains over 55 recipes and 4 weeks of meal plans with shopping lists and prep guides. This will make it so much easier for people to start the diet and not have as many pitfalls as I did.

If this sounds like you, check out the Happy Without Histamine plan and try it for yourself.

I hope you find some support here and if you have questions please send them over, or join the facebook group to get even more support!
