Recipients of Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine Had Higher Mortality Than Those of Moderna: Study

Please read about high histamine foods such as spinach , tomatoes, and avocados. Also lunch meats and hard cheeses. Also avoid wine and beer, fermented foods, .

Looks like I need some dietary adjustment too. Spinach, tomatoes and avocados are common parts of my diet. Ditto for cheddar cheese, miso soup and tofu in fresh spring rolls. I never drink wine, so that's an easy omit. I enjoyed beer with my dinner before my ampullary cancer last year. The tumor put a lot of back-pressure on the biliary tree. Even a small glass of beer causes itching over my liver now. I rarely indulge now. My pancreas has been getting in on the act lately as well.

Thanks again for pointing out that fresh sprouts work equally well. I'm looking forward to giving the DAO tablets a test drive.

Thank you for the information. I will be doing my homework this evening!

Also, can you recommend a good source and brand for DAO enzyme tablets? Amazon, Swanson, Wally World, etc..

The high histamine causes inflamation in the lungs. In mine it caused the emphysema appearance found in pathology after the lung was removed. The inflamed lung allowed the cancer to form, attaching itself to the inflamed lung wall.

Keep in mind that when the stomach stretches it produces gastrin, a hormone, into the bloodstream. It then produces histamines, serotonin and somatotropin in the ECL cells.

One of histamine’s functions is to trigger acid release into the stomach in the parietal cells in the fundus (top) of the stomach for digestion.

This is how high histamine causes acid indigestion.

The back pressure on the billiary tree indicates there was also back pressure on the stomach for you, which stretches the stomach, which releases gastrin and thus increases histamines.

I purchased NATURDAO - 1,000,000 HDU - DAO Enzyme Supplement - Histamine Block - Diamine on Amazon.

I found the pea sprout DAO is far better than bovine or porcine organ derived DAO, Per research articles.

The Whipple removed my duodenum from pyloric valve to jejunum. The gall bladder was removed before the Whipple, but would have been removed as part of the Whipple. The resection dribbles pancreatic enzymes into the proximal end of the jejunum. A little further along, an anastamosis of the remaining bile duct is stitched to the jejunum. Bile dribbles continuously with no buffering from the gall bladder or Ampulla of Vater. A bit further down, the pylorus is stitched to the jejunum. Acidified food is free to discharge into the jejunum with little effective help to neutralize the acid from the bile dribble nor proper processing of fats with lipase, sugars with amylase or proteins with protease. It's a wonder that it works at all. Certainly less efficient. It takes 2000 calories to hold my weight steady where 1250 was sufficient in the past.

I'm unsure of how the histamine cycle operates after a Whipple. I am willing to give the DAO enzymes at test drive.

DAO could potentially decrease the acid in your stomach leading to better nutrient absorption.

With no duodenum, it really decreases your nutrient absorption, especially iron and calcium.

Ouch, that is quite a procedure. I lost the other end, part of transverse, descending and sigmoid to colon cancer. Had a colostomy for a year and then reconnection surgery. Amazing what they can do these days.

Here is an interesting research journal article that specifically mentions Diamine Oxidase Enzyme and nutrient absorption in the small intestine.

Ok, I got that saved in Amazon. Next big question for me is to find out if I am histamine intolerant.

Interesting paper on what stimulates DAO. Loss of the duodenum ensures lactose intolerance and reduces iron absorption. I was already anemic in January 2024 from a gastric bleed and poor iron absorption. I found a source of "heme" iron from dissicated liver to be more effective than a simple source like ferrous sulphate that needs an acidic stomach and a working duodenum to absorb.

I'm going to ask my doctor for a PET scan referral on Wednesday so I can determine if there is any lingering cancer. I have never been evaluated on the success of the surgery and I had too many post operative infections to engage in chemo. It's a last "hail Mary" before I lose my employer sponsored healthcare on June 8th and move to Medicare.

Congrats on getting stitched back into a normal config. It's nicer to run as close to OEM parts as possible.
