Why would 2 mg Copper Glycinate cause a histamine reaction?

Hi everyone,

I have mild histamine intolerance (usually only triggered by alcohol and fermented foods), but I recently had a strong reaction after taking 2 mg of copper glycinate.

Right after taking it, I developed a stuffy nose, itchy rashes, and overall heightened histamine sensitivity. I tried it three separate times, and the symptoms got progressively worse each time.

This is my first time taking copper, and I have never had any issues with glycine before. Does anyone know why copper might trigger a histamine flare-up?

My blood and hair copper levels are normal/in the middle, but I haven't tested ceruloplasmin. My nutritionist recommended a few weeks of copper supplementation because my hair zinc was slightly elevated. He has no idea why copper caused that reaction.

Hair Mineral Test Shows High Copper/Low Iron. Bloods show the opposite (low-normal copper/ceruloplasim & high normal iron)

Hello,

I was wondering if someone could help me. I don’t know how to optimise. I know technically in-range for bloods aside from TSAT but very close to end of ranges.

Iron bloods

**•**	Iron: 29.5 umol/L (range 10–30)  
**•**	TIBC: 57 umol/L (range 45–81)  
**•**	UIBC: 27.2 umol/L (range 12–43)  
**•**	Transferrin Saturation: 52% (range 25–45) — flagged high  
**•**	Ferritin: 84 ug/L (range 30–442)

Hair Mineral Analysis (nutrient elements)

**•**	Iron (Fe): 1.26 %mg  
**•**	Copper (Cu): 4.274 %mg — above the acceptable range band

Caeruloplasmin/Copper Panel (capillary blood)

**•**	Ceruloplasmin: 0.23 g/L (range 0.2–0.6)  
**•**	Copper: 13.59 umol/L (range 11.00–22.00)

Unsure how to act as the data seems so conflicting.

Any help hugely appreciated.

Main issues trying to resolve are brain fog and anxiety.

Thanks

New here trying to understand copper deficiency

I did a spectracell test and Copper was the only thing I'm deficient in. I've had chronic muscle/joint pains and insomnia for over a decade as my main symptoms and have had low WBC on almost every blood test I've done for also the past 15 years.

I've struggled with Lyme and Bartonella and treated for a couple of years. Currently trying to determine if I have a reactivated infection.

Any advice?

Anyone deal with underlying chronic infections that have led to low copper?

Anyone see improvements in sleep or chronic pain with supplenting copper?
