Getting Protein on a Low Histamine Diet

Getting enough protein can be challenging in general, but even more so when you’re dealing with histamine intolerance.

Low histamine foods I don’t eat

Low histamine foods I don’t eat

While it’s true that the foods in this post are technically classified as being either low in histamine or not triggering the release of histamine already in our body, they still aren’t part of my diet. Read on to find out what they are and why you won’t find me chowing down on them soon

Going egg free for histamine intolerance and heart health

Eggs are a valuable source of protein, vitamin B12, iodine and riboflavin.

Histamine safe ferments?

Histamine safe ferments?

As I’ve pointed out a number of times over the years (in almost every post!) cutting histamine containing foods out of the diet isn’t a great idea for long term healing.

As you may well know, we need mast

The inflammation bucket (why I can now eat shrimp)

The inflammation bucket (why I can now eat shrimp)

You’ve heard of the histamine bucket – whereby every little bit of histamine put into the body (food, animal dander, stress, pollen) builds, until it spills over into a reaction. You then need to spend a certain amount of time emptying it in order to feel better (antihistamines, green juice, stress relief). But here’s a

10 reasons I include foods on high histamine lists in my diet

My lunch of a few days ago – zucchini noodles with creamy avocado sauce and nigella.  In my line of work (the business of being healthy and spreading calm and happiness), the question I’m asked the most is: “Why have you used X in your recipe, I thought it was high histamine?????????????????” Heard me say

Are you eating these seasonal healing foods?

Lovely farmer’s market green tomato tree is still around, despite being out of season! But I was there on another mission… Friends and family remain shocked by my (seemingly) encyclopedic knowledge of the healing powers of foods.
