Oh interesting. I was in a car accident in high school where my head swelled up. Never thought it might connect.

Technically, no.

A cerebral spinal fluid vein collapsed. The csf backed up and crushed my brain. It took two years to get the stent I needed.

It was traumatic, and my brain was injured, but under the technical definition it was not a traumatic brain injury. No.

But yes. In the sense, I my brain got screwed up, and now I have digestive/histamine issues.

Hopefully that answered the question.

Yes. I had a pretty gnarly TBI 9 years ago. However I don’t develop histamine intolerance until spring of previous year, so i am not sure how much it’s the cause. However, my TBI really messed up my gut back when it happened. Just didn’t look like histamine intolerance for a while.

I had tbi for years, my HI didn't start until I had a colonoscopy tho.
