Headache is a very frequent and widespread symptom among the population., although it should be borne in mind that not all headaches are migraines and not all migraines cause headaches.

The origin of migraine may have different factors involved, among them, food associated with a diamine oxidase enzyme deficiency (DAO). This enzyme is especially responsible for metabolizing histamine, molecule present in a large number of foods and that can also be produced endogenously in our body, mainly, by intestinal bacteria.

Nevertheless, people with reduced DAO activity (CAD deficit) are prone to accumulate excess histamine in the blood, increasing the probability of presenting different symptoms, among which stands out migraine or headaches, in addition to nonspecific gastrointestinal symptoms (diarrhea, constipation, flatulence, abdominal pain,..) and others like rhinitis or dermatological symptoms. These adverse effects are known as histamine intolerance..

AND 15% OF THE POPULATION HAS A DAO DEFICIENCY

Food sensitivity is a rejection reaction that the body produces when ingesting certain components of food.. This immune reaction is due to alterations of the intestinal membrane., through which food components are absorbed and can cause various symptoms such as abdominal pain, rash or headache, among others.

The A200 food sensitivity test evaluates the response of the immune system against more than 200 common foods in the Mediterranean diet. Thus, can be determined individually, what are the foods that should be consumed and those that it is advisable to reduce, avoid or even remove from our diet temporarily.
