spring allergies x gut - did not expect these to connect

every april my gut gets weird. took me 3 years to notice it lines up exactly with tree pollen peak. apparently histamine load affects gut motility for some people. started a lower histamine diet for ~6 weeks each spring (no aged cheese, no fermented stuff during peak, fewer leftovers) and this year is the first april my stomach isn't a mess. worth trying if you're a seasonal allergy person.
