Try taking it for up to a month with zinc. The idea being you should have enough histidine and zinc for the carbonic anhydrase enzyme in the stomach (which makes H+ ions for HCL) and more histamine to activate H2 receptors in the stomach properly.So how long did you take histidine for? I’ve been taking 2 grams per day for about a week and liking the results (much deeper sleep, digestion), but I’m not sure how much longer it might be a good idea to keep taking it.
If you start getting problems before then... immediately stop and take zinc (15-20mg) at night for awhile while also eating copper foods and red meat/dairy (for zinc and iron) during the day. Zinc in food will not antagonize copper absorption. As long as zinc is not too high and you have the supplement at night away from copper foods you will get the copper and the zinc, both of which you need.
