Can mycotoxins form biofilms? The short answer is

Can mycotoxins form biofilms? The short answer is no—but certain moulds can.

Moulds such as Aspergillus are living fungi capable of forming organised biofilm communities. Mycotoxins, however, are non-living chemical substances produced by certain moulds. They do not reproduce or build biofilms themselves.

Understanding this distinction matters when exploring persistent mould-related illness, chronic infections and microbial overgrowths.

Feel sick after an Epsom salt bath? 🛁 Dizzy, nauseous or headachy when you get out?

Before you assume it’s a “detox reaction,” consider this: could the heat be contributing?

The temperature of your bath is one piece of the picture. In our latest short Q&A on The Histamine Well Podcast, we explore possible reasons for feeling unwell after an Epsom salt bath—and the gentler adjustments worth discussing with your practitioner.

✨ Feeling worse doesn’t automatically mean something is working.

Your gut naturally produces hydrogen sulfide—but what happens when there’s too much? 🦠

In Episode 57, Joanne explores hydrogen sulfide SIBO, also discussed as intestinal sulfide overproduction (ISO), and its potential connection to sulfur intolerance, bloating and brain fog.

Constipation on a low-FODMAP diet shouldn’t be ignored—especially when you’re treating SIBO.

In this short Q&A, Joanne explains why regular bowel movements matter during SIBO treatment and how constipation may contribute to digestive discomfort and histamine reactions.

🧠 Most of your body’s serotonin is made in your gu

🧠 Most of your body’s serotonin is made in your gut—but that doesn’t mean it travels straight to your brain to boost your mood.

Gut serotonin doesn’t cross the blood–brain barrier. However, gut bacteria can influence the availability of tryptophan—the building block your brain uses to make serotonin.

The gut–brain connection is real, but there’s more to the story than a single statistic.
In Episode 56 of The Histamine Well Podcast, Joanne explores how gut dysbiosis may influence anxiety and depression, what probiotic research tells us, and where popular claims go beyond the evidence.

Could sluggish bile be affecting your digestion—an

Could sluggish bile be affecting your digestion—and even your histamine symptoms? 👀

Bile does far more than help your body digest fats. Produced by the liver and stored in the gallbladder, it also supports the absorption of vitamins A, D, E and K, cholesterol clearance, liver detoxification, bowel motility and microbial balance in the gut.

When bile flow is inadequate, symptoms may include:

▪️ Bloating or nausea after fatty meals
▪️ Pale, greasy or floating stools
▪️ Constipation, diarrhoea or urgency
▪️ Discomfort beneath the right rib cage
▪️ Difficulty tolerating fried or fatty foods

Poor bile flow may also create an environment that encourages SIBO, increases gut inflammation and affects DAO production—potentially contributing to histamine intolerance. Inadequate fat digestion may also increase oxalate absorption in susceptible individuals.

In this episode of The Histamine Well Podcast, Joanne Kennedy explains four popular bile-support supplements:

✨ Ox bile for direct fat-digestion support
✨ TUDCA for liver health and healthy bile flow
✨ Taurine for bile acid conjugation
✨ Phosphatidylcholine for bile quality and methylation support

These supplements are not interchangeable. The most appropriate option depends on whether the underlying issue involves fat digestion, liver function, bile production, or bile quality.

Which bile supplement is right for you: ox bile, TUDCA, taurine or phosphatidylcholine? 🤔

They may all support bile health, but they are not interchangeable:

▪️ Ox bile provides direct support for fat digestion, particularly after gallbladder removal.
▪️ TUDCA supports liver function and healthy bile flow—but obstruction must be ruled out first.
▪️ Taurine supports bile acid conjugation and the formation of functional bile salts.
▪️ Phosphatidylcholine supports bile quality, especially when bile is thick or methylation is compromised.

Some people may benefit from a carefully selected combination, while others need only one targeted supplement. The key is to understand what is actually affecting your bile instead of taking every supplement on a generic list.

Could stress be the hidden trigger behind your his

Could stress be the hidden trigger behind your histamine flare-ups? 😣

Stress doesn’t only affect your thoughts and emotions. Stress-signalling molecules can directly activate mast cells, causing them to release histamine—even when there’s no obvious allergen.

This may help explain why symptoms such as itching, flushing, headaches, sinus congestion, digestive issues and skin reactions often become worse during stressful periods.

In the latest episode of The Histamine Well, Joanne explores the hidden connection between chronic stress, cortisol, the nervous system, mast cell activation and histamine intolerance—and shares practical ways to begin breaking the cycle.

In this replay of The Histamine Well Podcast, Joanne is joined by Melanie Peers to explore a commonly overlooked question:

Could oxalates be fueling your histamine intolerance?

Oxalates are naturally occurring compounds found in many foods—including several foods we often consider healthy. For some people, they may contribute to chronic inflammation, histamine reactions, digestive issues, unexplained pain, urinary symptoms, fatigue and multiple food or supplement intolerances.

The episode also explores oxalate dumping and why suddenly removing high-oxalate foods may temporarily make symptoms worse.

If you missed this conversation the first time—or need to hear it again—this replay may help you uncover an important missing piece in your health journey.

Could histamine be the missing piece of your healt

Could histamine be the missing piece of your health puzzle?

Many people think histamine only causes allergies.

In reality, histamine is involved in your immune system, digestion, hormones, brain function, and much more.

When your body can't keep up with breaking histamine down, symptoms can begin to appear throughout the body—including migraines, anxiety, skin issues, reflux, poor sleep, dizziness, and hormone-related symptoms.

The key message from this episode?

👉 Histamine intolerance isn't the root cause—it's often a sign that something deeper needs attention.

In this replay of one of our most popular podcast episodes, Joanne explains:

✔ What histamine actually does

✔ Why symptoms appear

✔ Why a low histamine diet is only part of the solution

✔ Why identifying the root cause is essential for long-term healing
