What is the Low Histamine Diet?
A low-histamine diet revolves around reducing the intake of dietary histamine. This could mean focusing on low-histamine foods, finding low-histamine alternatives, or both. Either way, the goal is to avoid eating too much histamine and the symptoms of histamine intolerance.
Following a low-histamine diet can seem daunting at first, but it’s not as difficult as it seems. For me, I like to find swaps for my favorite high-histamine foods or drinks, like low-histamine alcohol and low-histamine salad dressings. However, the easiest way to stick to this kind of diet is to focus on low-histamine recipes.
Talk to your doctor before making any significant changes to your diet, especially when it comes to food restrictions. They may recommend a low histamine diet for histamine intolerance or Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Whatever the case may be, it’s important to seek professional medical advice to rule out any other possible issues or food intolerances.
