What is DAO Deficiency?

DAO Deficiency is a syndrome that occurs when the small intestine does not contain enough DAO enzyme, or when it does not have enough functional activity. In such cases, histamine ingested as part of one’s diet is not sufficiently metabolized or degraded and is absorbed through the intestinal epithelium, passing into the bloodstream and accumulating in blood.

When histamine of food origin accumulates in blood, it alters many of the physiological functions, causing various adverse effects.
