Content & community for histamine intolerance
I'm Cătălina. I have histamine intolerance, and I spent months trying to understand what was happening to my body. MyHistamate is where I put everything I've learned — not to lecture you, but because I wish it had existed when I started.
I'm not a doctor. I'm not a nutritionist.
I'm a person with HIT.
My story
Itching with no explanation. Migraines that wouldn't ease for days. Fatigue that never lifted no matter how much I slept. And moments when I was both exhausted and wired at the same time — it has a name: Wired and Tired. And it's histamine in the brain, not anxiety.
The histamine intolerance diagnosis came with relief and frustration at the same time. Relief that there was an explanation. Frustration that there's almost no practical tool to help you manage it in real life — at a restaurant, on holiday, on the bad hormonal days.
That's how MyHistamate started. Not from a business idea, but from a real need I live every single day.
I'm a person with HIT who learned a great deal from my own experience, and who wants to make the road easier for someone else.

I already use, day to day, a method that helps me keep my histamine under control — and it genuinely works for me. I've turned it into an app: a journal you fill in in two minutes, foods adjusted to your own tolerances, and an assistant you can ask “why did I feel bad yesterday?” — it answers based on your journal, not generically. It's what I wholeheartedly wish had existed from the start.
It's officially in testing. Join the waiting list and you'll catch one of the next waves — or get access from day one at launch:
