A method of diagnosis of histamine intolerance in a person suspected of suffering from histamine intolerance syndrome. Isotope-labeled histamine metabolites, namely imidazole acetic acid and methylimidazole acetic acid are identified and measured in serum, plasma, urine and other bodily fluids following derivatization with a hydrazinoquinoline derivatization agent using the LC-MS/MS technique. The method and analytical technique is very sensitive and allows a safe use of an isotope-labeled oral histamine load as well as time-dependent measurements of the total activity of secreted and membrane-associated DAO enzymes for the sake of a differential diagnosis of histamine intolerance syndrome compared to food allergy, food hypersensitivity or food intolerance.
