Summary
A user reported extreme histamine and salicylate symptoms and loss of appetite in December 2024, after three rounds of antibiotics and prednisone. They were taking mastic gum, uva ursi and oregano for H. pylori and dysbiosis, and said oregano oil increased symptoms. By May 2025 they were unsure whether the problem had resolved, but copper supplementation let them tolerate high-histamine foods again.
