I was eating tons of berries and avocados last year thinking i was being healthy. But my digestion and joint pain was SO bad! Heard about histamine intolerance and cut these foods out and man, i haven’t had those issues since! So sad though, cause strawberries and blueberries and guacamole were my fave foods!

Your explanation about histamine building on aged food explains a lot to me because I would eat chicken I cooked and have no problems with it but 2 days later I’d eat leftovers of the same batch and have a small reaction. I’ve never heard that explained so thank you 🙏🏻
I'm glad this was helpful. Leftovers, food handling/storage are things people often miss and it can be confusing when you eat the same exact thing but feel bad when it's 2-3 days old. best wishes
48 Hours means two complete days, 72 hours means three complete days. If a person does fasting for these long hours the person might die 🤣. So please never do this @@arlahunt4240
oes fasting count if you have to take mediciation containing magnesium sterate and microcrystaline strearte? MCAS is fucking awesome I'm at my wits end suicidal sick fed up feeling like absolute shit as soon as you wake up in the morning.
This explains why pure Lion diet (Meat, salt and Water) works for those with issues with Histamine's, oxalate, dairy intolerance, Gluten sensitivities, ect. It's virtually impossible to work out which foods and environmental triggers cause the problems.
I see your point, but keep in mind that animal foods do develop histamine oven time if left too many days in the fridge or slow cooked (like 12-hour broth) or when aged or cured. Plant foods provide antioxidants and fiber that feeds the Microbiome. The long term plan is to have good bacteria that help us break down the components in plants we can’t digest. Humans lived with bacteria in our gut symbiotically for thousands of years
Notes I took for myself: High Histamine Foods -Aged, cured or fermented foods -Alcohol -Vinegar -Olives -Aged cheeses and aged, cured or fermented meats (smoked salmon) -Canned versions of high histamine Foods, ie green beans -Leftovers -Slow and long cooked foods -Dried fruits and meats -Shell fish -Canned Tuna, sardines, Anchovies -Berries, citrus fruit -Chocolate -Walnuts, Pecans, Peanuts and Pistachios -legumes: soy, legumes and pluses -Green, Black Tea Low Histamine Foods -Fresh as possible -Low Histamine vegetables (not spinach, tomatoes, mushroom and eggplant) -Ask about when meat was processed. The store may have fresher meat in the back. Check label for possessing date. Pick the freshest. -Freeze meat immediately upon buying -Frozen fish is better than fresh unless you live near a coast or source of fresh fish Histamine clearing veggies (kale, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, collard greens, pumpkin, butternut squash, Zucchini, radishes, beets, peas, peppers) -pea sprouts source of DAO Fruit: Apple, pear, grapes, honeydew, cantaloupe 1/4 c blueberries Avoid gluten Grains Low but avoid gluten Use Quinoa, GF Oats Coconut oil Seeds better than nuts Dairy, fresh but not fermented Drinks: water, herbal teas, nettle leaf tea (especially good for Histamine Intolerance) Food sensitivities - your body will release Histamine in response to foods you're sensitive to -Keep a food log to see when you react to foods -You can test for food sensitivities.

Legumes are powerful if you can eat them. Sprouted legumes were my immediate goal after reading about HI, but it took ten days to sprout some pinto beans, and I'd need a place to put ten pots if I wanted to eat a pot of them a day. The HI diet is truly 20-50x harder than the celiac diet and success seems to hinge on exceptions. Quercetin or thymoquinone may offer some leeway, or DAO supplements. People starting an HI diet may only have half a dozen foods to begin with, and may have to painstakingly refine their available foods before they get a foothold... but ideally that should only last a week or a month, not years, and in my case I was often happy to "regain" one or two foods in a week, then it was three or four in an average week. (It didn't cure my intolerances, but it made them easier to tolerate.) Rice can even be sprouted -- sprouting reduces oxalates, histamine, and phytates IIRC... and on that note, sufficient butyrate (in resistant starches IIRC, and elsewhere maybe?) may reduce oxalate uptake down to four percent of what it was prior in some people (maybe search Google Scholar for "butyrate oxalate study"), and that can make a huge difference in inflammation. Very much will depend on one's specific pathology (disclaimer: I'm a patient, not an expert). I'm a celiac and I have different needs from other notable groups at risk for HI, but I should still watch my copper, salt, etc. More salt probably did help me: I lost all the foods I liked it on, and it took time to find others. Fresh and frozen things are our friends, dandelion should be everywhere. And there's meat too, but I try to take a cold-pressed oil- and prebiotic-heavy approach, with a lot of sprouty protein and some varied carbs and the whole grains I can tolerate. Anyway, you're not wrong, but "everything that's available" leaves a lot to be desired from my perspective.
@@CTheos the low histamine diet is not easy and that’s why we try to find the underlying root causes so you don’t have to live with this diet. For now, try eating chicken, beef, salmon, turkey that you cook same day or the day before. You can eat white potato, sweet potato, beets, carrots, zucchini, green beans, lettuce, arugula, cucumber, broccoli… you can eat rice, oats, and quinoa… you can use fresh herbs, olive oil, coconut oil… and if you’d like nuts or seeds, choose a little bit of almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia or hemp… there are some options … I hope this helps!
This is a great talk. I’ve been doing low histamine for about 10 days. I have SLE Lupus and I have itching skin so bad, no rash, until it bleeds. No doctor had any clue. I researched on my own and found low histamine, turmeric tea, and I switched my laundry detergent to an enzymatic type with no fragrance and rewashed everything. Also saw that Benadryl would help so I’m taking one or 2 of those per day. I haven’t had an itching attack in 3 or 4 days and I was having them every day for 6 years so this is a blessing for me. I’m on plaquinil for the lupus. Thank you for your list of low histamine foods also. I like celery slices quick sautéed in coconut oil with thyme and Redmond salt, it’s really good. Thyme tastes great when heated in a sautee and ii think it helps with controlling histamine.
You might find that quercetin and vitamin B five are preferable to taking Benadryl for the rest of your life, that is what I do, but the information in this video is so helpful as I am eating all the wrong things! Namaste 🙏
@@tumbleweeduk7479 Now go to Dr Gundry's info on lectins & oxalates, then see what's left that we can even eat. Alot on her list here that we can eat are what we've had to already stop eating - or change the way they're prepared like pressure cooking
Look for underlying root causes and then you can have those back. It's my least favorite diet to recommend but sometimes it's necessary short term.

I have been having itchy skin and digestive problems for almost 4 years. No one has been able to figure it out. I honestly believe I have a histamine problem. I’ve been researching and everything fits. The trigger foods, the symptoms, the problems. How do I confirm my hypothesis? I’m tired of trying to figure it out. I feel like the only thing that doesn’t make me itch is air and water. 😂😢
Wow, I learned so much! I’m 77 and knew I was sensitive to nightshades, but had no clue about the leftovers and leaving fresh meats in the fridge too long. I remember hearing something about bone broth, but you make it so very clear here in your video. Thank you so much. Perhaps I can correct my occasional but puzzling bouts of diarrhea.
This is relate to me. But i decide to fix my histamine metabolism, instead of avoiding histamine food. Because avoiding doesnt make sense to me. I did it by improving gut microbiome. My rhinitis is gone for good
Please can you give details of how you improved your gut Microbiome, my daughter is desperate to sort out her hive reactions she is trying to conceive but it’s documented that over reacting histamine can affect this happening.🙏
Hi.. i eat fermented food, variety of fruits and vegetables. Avoid dairy, antibiotic, and sugar. if you want to eat meat, please choose organic meat. And i follow circadian eating window. Which mean, i stop eating at around 17.00-18.00. But im not sure if this eating window is suitable for kids. Eating window is very important for adult. Since our intestine need time to rest. And most importantly, 70% of our immune system is in the gut
And also, avoid all processed food. Almost all product that available in grocery store (snack, etc). Train your gut to adapt to high fiber diet. Dont do snack in between meal. (Normally 2-3 meal for adult)
Thank you so much and this is very helpful and clear information !! I am a chronic gastritis, I’ve been struggling with all the histamine symptoms and no doctor has figured what’s going on except the gastritis issues. My stomach is finally getting better after having a low histamine diet now
I got blood work back that I have high histamine. And sensitive to wheat, eggs, casein, and a bunch of shellfish. No allergies to them but sensitivities. Thanks for the info. There is a lot out there and some conflicting advice as to what foods are high in histamine. Will see Dr this week.
Years ago when I first started having reactions, my sister suggested it could be nightshade family intolerance. Last year a friend of mine said I had HI. I researched safe and bad foods and found there was a cross over with some foods. So if you're on a low histamine diet and still getting reactions, maybe look at what nightshade foods you still eat and remove them. My biggest issue now is trying to lower my diabetes level that skyrocketed once I introduced certain foods that were meant to be safe. Such a fine line with getting to the bottom of all this :/ For now I am going to try and do the carnivore diet again and see how that helps my reactions and diabetes
This was so helpful, and it explained the diet and the causes in a comprehensive yet accessible way for someone who does not have a medical background. Thank you!
Thanks SO MUCH for your knowledge and time for Us. Delayed reactions next day or later. 😢 SHORT TERM . INTERESTING. KEEP HISTAMINE foods out of daily diet. Yikes😮😮😮
I've recently begun considering whether histamine intolerance is causing or contributing to my condition: migraines, bouts of itching, vertigo, dragging fatigue, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, bladder irritation and pain, getting overheated very quickly, breaking into a sweat after doing something like walking up one flight of stairs, very strong reaction to mosquito bites, congestion, itchy eyes...I even broke into a sweat and got really nauseous just following the movements of physical therapist's finger! I've been examined from head to foot, put through a battery of x-rays, and tests. Conclusion: there's something wrong but we don't know what it is. Final diagnosis: post-viral syndrome (probably). I'd already identified some of the foods on the high histamine list as migraine and IBS triggers. I started with monthly prophylactic injections for migraine. I had nasty reactions with extensive swelling and itching that made my life a misery. I decided to take antihistamines before the shot. Yes, the side-effects dampened to bearable. But my dizziness, nausea, and congestion downgraded to mere shadows of their former selves. Then I tried taking an antihistamine in the early stages of a migraine and the migraine stopped. The downside of the antihistamine tablet is that I sleep for hours after I take it and feel limp and stupid while I'm awake. It's still preferable. I only take one antihistamine tablet a day, except for the migraine shot, when I take two 30 minutes before. A low-histamine diet trial can't hurt and may help!
This was wonderful!!! This is going to sound crazy but my mother and grandmother and myself are all highly sensitive to all high histamine foods. All three of us will get extreme vertigo and nausea it can last days!!! We all have decided after this night mare of a life we just want to eat all low histamine vegetables, all low histamine fruits. I eat only the organic turkey patties from the freezer section in the grocery store. When ever I eat non frozen meat I'm sick. We also can eat almonds with no problem. If I need a treat I will have a frozen Italian ice or White chocolate two small pieces. I am also eating a half a cup of white rice everyday and a large baked apple with cinnamon. I will eat this way for the rest of my life because it took me 20 years of suffering. This was in my D&A, Thank you for this!!! I will continue to watch your other video's so I can help others who may have this problem.
Eating any animal products will cause TMAO in your digestive system, which can have symptoms similar to Histamine, such as itching, redness, allergic symptoms, atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome.
@@insertmyidentityhere You're the one being foolish. Give me some examples of how not eating animal products will destroy your life. Don't bring up vitamin B12, because that can be easily supplemented.
Thank you so much, this has been super interesting and very informative! I am healing from Celiac disease and with time realized, that a low histamine diet, together with my strict gluten free diet has made a huge difference! I was so confused when I ate plain cooked rice with a ripe avocado, but kept feeling awful! I then found out that an inflamed small intestine, might produce less DAO until more healing takes place..
I have always had issues with green tea, fermented/aged milk produce and many pickles. While I love tomatoes, eating too much of them def triggers something- and same with chocolate. When I first started keto, I didn't realize how I left out most of these foods, and thought it was only the bread etc. that had caused issues.
immensely helpful and credible information in this single video that sums up all about what and how to eat and what others to avoid during histamine inducing seasons , especially in spring time as of now in northern hemisphere.
Yes, exactly. Many people add fermented foods to improve gut health but it backfires. But hopefully you can work on healing your gut and underlying root causes so you can eat leftovers and fermented foods
This is the diet I have had to follow since I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis. I also did a KMBO test and am sensitive to spinach, squash, salmon, CORN, and some others. Chicken and carrots!🥕
I sure appreciate your knowledge because this is an area that has not been addressed with my eczema and I have done all kinds of vegetables and all kinds of fruits I juice and I bland, but some of them are histamines and I’ve been making cheap cuts of meat, like a chuck roast and coconut and my electric skillet for three or four hours with onions and a little tiny red potatoes and baby carrots And I thought that was OK and I ate that all week and it was very good every night for dinner and I had my baby greens and salads greens in my smoothies and juices cause I don’t have to put salad dressings on amino but I guess I have to buy something else that I can cook and just eat fast and not cook it slow on 200 or something that’s what I do with my chuck roast I’ve got four of them in the freezer not gonna cook fast and be tender
Incredible. I was allowed to 95% of these foods as a child. I’m now not officially allergic to any of them as an adult. I don’t drink much alcohol because it immediately blocks up my sinuses and causes instantaneous headache!
extremely helpful! I do a lot of research into things that plague my health and until now, I have not heard of this aspect. since I have been watching your vid, of course, I have been getting more info about histamine in my feeds lol. I will recommend your channel to several people.
Excellent video. Will check out your gut videos as I have an issue in the small intestine. Fermented foods, citrus and tomatoes are definitely my triggers.
Hello Trying to increase my protein since postmenopausal. Are clean protein powders and collagen protein powders (Vital Protein collagen powder, etc) considered high histamine?
excellent! jam packed with important info. thank you so much. i'm confused about coffee as i have read it is high in histamines unless it is decaf bc of caffeine? likewise, what about diet sodas that do not have caffeine? are they ok? thanks again.
So many thanks for this comprehensive video. I appreciate your time and energy into it. Here're a few questions ; 1) If I cook gluten free, dairy free, vegan, low histamine Zucchini (ingredients mostly squash, dill, parsley, scallion and hemp seed as binders) and keep cooked Zucchinis in the fridge for 1 week long meal, does it still produce Histamine ? 2) Buckweat flour and psyllium husk as pancake ingredients Still histaminic? 3) would an organic grape molasses be histaminic? (Organic, glass jar ) 4) would an carob molasses be still histaminic? 5) Lastly, have I heard correct; almond flour still high histaminic? 6) As someone from Turkey, I would ask if Sumac is histaminic? I have searced all the above but couldnt find a satisfactory resource. Thank you for all you do. Bles Be
I have chronic sinus rhinitis…. I’ve had 4 surgeries to remove polyps. So now on the dietary path to self help as the health system can’t help me anymore.
Ive had year round allergies for 40 years and includes asthma. Ive been tested and found allergic to: grass, trees, pollen, hay, animal dander, nuts, dust, mold, shellfish and intolerance to starchy foods, gluten, no rice, potatoes, bread, etc. I cut out sugar and all starches and glutens years ago. I also developed nasal polyps the past years which Ive been trying to tackle now as it impacts my sleep! Thank you for your information.
I was diagnosed with MS 14 years ago and through trial and error, all these foods listed as contains or produces histamine are problematic for me. I never understood the connection between them and I wish I was informed about histamine that long ago as it would have saved me many years pain and suffering.
Are you saying that you were misdiagnosed with MS completely (that you dont actually have it after all) or that it reduced your MS symptoms ? How much better do you feel now that you are on low histamine compared to a few years ago ?
@@ratgreen I was not misdiagnosed, I was diagnosed with RRMS from two neurologists through spinal tap and MRI in 2009. There was hardly any info online about MS I continued to eat the regular SAD diet for the first year and I continued to read whatever was available online. I found I needed to avoid extra salt, dairy, saturated fat, and mercury teeth filings which I had. I had my amalgam removed, and I ate salmon (farm raised at the time :( I didn't know better), broccoli, chicken and white rice (which I later changed to brown rice). I started introducing one new food and I would eat it roughly every other day for 2 weeks and see If symptoms changed. Symptoms were numbness, tingling, burning, weakness in different areas in head, face, both legs below (slightly above knee) all way down to toes. If i had increased symptoms, I would know to avoid the food. I got better to the point where all symptoms reversed except for numbness in my left toes. 2.5 years ago I thought I recovered to the point where I thought to try some yogurt, and I ate it with no issues and I thought I was finally recovered and my body is accepting these prohibited foods, then I hate ice cream, then I tried whole wheat bread (made at home, simple organic soaked wheat, water and yeast) then nut butter (almond and mixed nuts) Then cakes and I continued indulging for a little over a year then I started feeling tingling in my tongue and I knew I had screwed up. Gradually all my old symptoms that were gone for years came back with vengeance with additional areas in the body impacted (which were mostly the arms and torso). I followed this diet by a doctor called doctor Dr Goldner which is mostly smoothies and It wrecked my gut where my gut felt being shredded from the inside. I started searching and came across carnivore and I was skeptical and worried because of what I had learned years ago about saturated fat. I gave it a try for closed to 5 months and it was hard to get away from carbs. specially fruit. The shredding in my gut improved over time until it went away but two things were fixed which I struggled with my whole life even before MS, that is fatigue, I always felt fatigued with no energy even as a kid. It is a different feeling being able to wak up 5:30 in the morning full of energy and not have to sleep until 9:00 p.m. I also had bladder issues where I had to get up and use the bathroom at night at least twice even if I avoided drinking 3-4 hours before bed. It ruined my sleep. That was gone with carnivore. I had learned that carnivore is good short term but not long term because the gut needs prebiotic fiber , so I started introducing asparagus, okra, cabbage, and cauliflower. Some are not low FODMAP unless they are pressure cooked and water is drained to dump all the oxalates and antinutrients. So I eat grass fed fatty meat( mostly chuck roast pressure cooked), grass fed beef liver, wild caught salmon (sockeye mostly), tallow which I get from the chuck roast after pressure cooking and letting the meat broth cool in the fridge, tallow float at the top and hardens then I eat it with the meat when it is frozen (takes time to get used to). I also noticed my gallbladder isn't working correctly. I could only eat 6-7 TBSP of tallow, fat trimmings and I should be able to eat double that amount if my gallbladder is working correctly. so hopefully that gets fixed overtime as I increase the amount of Fats. I also eat 2-3 oz of organic frozen blueberries per week. I know it will take a few more years to recover but it seems things are finally improving slowly. During my journey that all high histamine high FODMAP triggered my symptoms. Also during the years, I would eat Lamb every now and then but I always avoided Beef. Now I eat mostly Beef everyday. I also eat salmon twice a week. I take magnesium glycinate 200mg before bed by an hour, I take potassium citrate, and 5000 IUs D3 per day during winter time. I take 30 minute walks every day and I sprint once a week ) Eating mostly meat with low carb will cause your body to flush the sodium and you need magnesium and potassium to balance the electrolytes. I wish I could have one banana a day for the potassium but I can't and it is high in carbs as well which will make me feel fatigued. I hope this helps any MS sufferers.
@@ratgreen i responded and it seems my comment was removed. i was not misdiagnosed and I still have MS but it was greatly improved on a hightfat, low protein low fodmap ow histamine diet. i mostly eat fatty meat and some pressure cooked low carb veggies. my fatigue is completely gone, brain fog gone. , a lot of numbness is gone. bladder control is back to completely normal. i eat very little organic raw honey 1-2 tbsp per week. no fruits
For those with Long Covid or PASC, GI issues can be a real ongoing problem. I am a first waiver, and in the early stages of the pandemic, the medical community was struggling to help patients. For eight months, my doctors didn't have any idea of things to do. Another Long Hauler, as we called ourselves in those days, doctor was treating people with a similar disorder and recommended a low histamine diet.

Hi there, thanks for the video. I was wondering about coffee. The SIBO doctor (Australia) has a free PDF of what to avoid on a low histamine diet and coffee is listed in the 'Avoid' column. Thoughts please? Would love to add it back in my diet 😅
I've mostly heard the same but I've heard it's usually because of mold in the coffee look online for companies who produce organic coffee and test to make sure it's mold free
Thank you so much for such a concise video - I’ve watched MANY and I found yours by far the clearest guidance. I have many symptoms of histamine intolerance and tested with food allergies for wheat, casein, egg white, beef, corn (low). I have one question about egg white - might it just be the albumin in RAW egg white that’s the problem? I was intrigued that you do use tests because they are controversial - as you know, many people tested find that the foods they eat are the ones they are allergic to. When might you consider trying the Oxalate diet?

During the second time of getting covid day 2 of being sick my mouth and hands started tingling. Got over Covid and a week later start getting hives (MCAS). Noticed some foods set me off. Blows my mind one day you can eat what you want and the next day you got food allergies. Have you dealt with people who had covid non vaxxed and get MCAS? Whats odd these hives last 24-36 hours and move somewhere else. My doctor is cluesless and all my bloodwork came back good beside Vit D is at 11. Its winter time in the north. Its making my life misable and had to quit working because the pain and flares make my hands, feet swell, and my joints hurt. Going low hist for a time. Never had skin issues before getting Covid the second time.
Hi Dr., Im a little confused about the chicken and turkey. I buy both precooked and packaged (Trader Joes) and they are clean, no additives. Even though they are already cooked, should I still put them in the freezer if Im not going to use them for a couple of days? Thanks so much for your videos. Blessings.
yes, freeze everything in flat single portions for easy thawing. some deli-type meats are already very high histamine, tho, so you might want to avoid until you are symptom-free, then test.
@@ca147 I did 72 of 'Water Only' fasting and my body experienced miraculous hives reduction! Not sure if it'll work for others. My issue is I have bad gut and apparently fasting does some gut repair. Soon I will go on one full week 'Water Only' fasting and see if that will cure my gut permanently. I will update this feed. P.S I think the health industry does not promote fasting as it is free and they don't make money out of it.
I want to try this but I really worry about getting enough protein. I dont have time nor the money to afford to drive all the way to the supermarket every few days for fresh meat, and even then, theres not many sources of protein left. Any good sources of protein that dont break the bank? Inflation has made meat super expensive.
I've read that coffee is low histamine, but can block DAO. Is this true? Im suspecting a histamine intolerance and am following a low histamine diet, but coffee/espresso is my absolute worst trigger.
It is too difficult to apply if i want test these restrictions. I'm vegan since 15 years. I don't want to eat only quinoa, rice, oat, and "sarrasin" (i forget how we say in english, i'm french) with cabbage, cabbage and few vegetables. I prefer to buy DAO enzyme vegan (anti-histamine) from germ of pea.

Basically avoid all sugar, high carbs, processed foods, bakery, barbq, gluton due to highly inflamatory and milk due to high estrogen
fermented foods and certain vegetables and fruits are high in histamine and needs to be avoided (but only short term until you fix the problem)
How do you fix the problem

How about the food you freeze? Then thaw and eat.
Need to clear up histamine? Try fasting 48h - 72h twice a month so your digestive tract gets a periodic break from breaking down foods
I’ll try this. Has it worked for you?
48 Hours means two complete days, 72 hours means three complete days. If a person does fasting for these long hours the person might die 🤣.
So please never do this @@arlahunt4240
Nah. I've done several 72 fasts. 😊@meghavarghese2061
oes fasting count if you have to take mediciation containing magnesium sterate and microcrystaline strearte? MCAS is fucking awesome I'm at my wits end suicidal sick fed up feeling like absolute shit as soon as you wake up in the morning.
Not for the people who had blood sugar problem*
This explains why pure Lion diet (Meat, salt and Water) works for those with issues with Histamine's, oxalate, dairy intolerance, Gluten sensitivities, ect. It's virtually impossible to work out which foods and environmental triggers cause the problems.
I see your point, but keep in mind that animal foods do develop histamine oven time if left too many days in the fridge or slow cooked (like 12-hour broth) or when aged or cured. Plant foods provide antioxidants and fiber that feeds the Microbiome. The long term plan is to have good bacteria that help us break down the components in plants we can’t digest. Humans lived with bacteria in our gut symbiotically for thousands of years
Notes I took for myself:
High Histamine Foods
-Aged, cured or fermented foods
-Alcohol
-Vinegar
-Olives
-Aged cheeses and aged, cured or fermented meats (smoked salmon)
-Canned versions of high histamine Foods, ie green beans
-Leftovers
-Slow and long cooked foods
-Dried fruits and meats
-Shell fish
-Canned Tuna, sardines, Anchovies
-Berries, citrus fruit
-Chocolate
-Walnuts, Pecans, Peanuts and Pistachios
-legumes: soy, legumes and pluses
-Green, Black Tea
Low Histamine Foods
-Fresh as possible
-Low Histamine
vegetables (not spinach, tomatoes, mushroom and eggplant)
-Ask about when meat was processed. The store may have fresher meat in the back. Check label for possessing date. Pick the freshest.
-Freeze meat immediately upon buying
-Frozen fish is better than fresh unless you live near a coast or source of fresh fish
Histamine clearing veggies (kale, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, collard greens, pumpkin, butternut squash, Zucchini, radishes, beets, peas, peppers)
-pea sprouts source of DAO
Fruit: Apple, pear, grapes, honeydew, cantaloupe 1/4 c blueberries
Avoid gluten
Grains Low but avoid gluten
Use Quinoa, GF Oats
Coconut oil
Seeds better than nuts
Dairy, fresh but not fermented
Drinks: water, herbal teas, nettle leaf tea (especially good for Histamine Intolerance)
Food sensitivities - your body will release Histamine in response to foods you're sensitive to
-Keep a food log to see when you react to foods -You can test for food sensitivities.
Check link in description for people in the US and Canada.

Many thanks for the list
Thank you for taking such thorough notes!
But yoù spoke v v fast
Where would you put fresh pasture raised eggs
Nettle leaf tea really helps
Respectfully you have suggested we stop eating pretty much EVERYTHING !
Exactly 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Yes, I am ready to give up living altogether. Living is darnn too hazardous.
Legumes are powerful if you can eat them. Sprouted legumes were my immediate goal after reading about HI, but it took ten days to sprout some pinto beans, and I'd need a place to put ten pots if I wanted to eat a pot of them a day. The HI diet is truly 20-50x harder than the celiac diet and success seems to hinge on exceptions. Quercetin or thymoquinone may offer some leeway, or DAO supplements. People starting an HI diet may only have half a dozen foods to begin with, and may have to painstakingly refine their available foods before they get a foothold... but ideally that should only last a week or a month, not years, and in my case I was often happy to "regain" one or two foods in a week, then it was three or four in an average week. (It didn't cure my intolerances, but it made them easier to tolerate.)
Rice can even be sprouted -- sprouting reduces oxalates, histamine, and phytates IIRC... and on that note, sufficient butyrate (in resistant starches IIRC, and elsewhere maybe?) may reduce oxalate uptake down to four percent of what it was prior in some people (maybe search Google Scholar for "butyrate oxalate study"), and that can make a huge difference in inflammation. Very much will depend on one's specific pathology (disclaimer: I'm a patient, not an expert). I'm a celiac and I have different needs from other notable groups at risk for HI, but I should still watch my copper, salt, etc. More salt probably did help me: I lost all the foods I liked it on, and it took time to find others.
Fresh and frozen things are our friends, dandelion should be everywhere. And there's meat too, but I try to take a cold-pressed oil- and prebiotic-heavy approach, with a lot of sprouty protein and some varied carbs and the whole grains I can tolerate. Anyway, you're not wrong, but "everything that's available" leaves a lot to be desired from my perspective.
Hello, i wanted to add that NaturDAO has a vegan dao supplement.
@@CTheos the low histamine diet is not easy and that’s why we try to find the underlying root causes so you don’t have to live with this diet. For now, try eating chicken, beef, salmon, turkey that you cook same day or the day before. You can eat white potato, sweet potato, beets, carrots, zucchini, green beans, lettuce, arugula, cucumber, broccoli… you can eat rice, oats, and quinoa… you can use fresh herbs, olive oil, coconut oil… and if you’d like nuts or seeds, choose a little bit of almonds, pumpkin seeds, chia or hemp… there are some options … I hope this helps!
Nice to watch someone who knows what they are talking about. Very professional. Nice one. 👏🙏
Thank you for your kind words and I'm glad it was helpful!
This is a great talk. I’ve been doing low histamine for about 10 days. I have SLE Lupus and I have itching skin so bad, no rash, until it bleeds. No doctor had any clue. I researched on my own and found low histamine, turmeric tea, and I switched my laundry detergent to an enzymatic type with no fragrance and rewashed everything. Also saw that Benadryl would help so I’m taking one or 2 of those per day. I haven’t had an itching attack in 3 or 4 days and I was having them every day for 6 years so this is a blessing for me.
I’m on plaquinil for the lupus. Thank you for your list of low histamine foods also. I like celery slices quick sautéed in coconut oil with thyme and Redmond salt, it’s really good. Thyme tastes great when heated in a sautee and ii think it helps with controlling histamine.
Glad to hear you’re finding solutions that help resolve your symptoms and thank you for the suggestions
You might find that quercetin and vitamin B five are preferable to taking Benadryl for the rest of your life, that is what I do, but the information in this video is so helpful as I am eating all the wrong things! Namaste 🙏
Wow, celery slices sautéed in coconut oil with herbs and Real Salt sounds great! I'm glad I scrolled down 🙂
Have you tried removing all dairy from your diet? This means all processed foods that have it as an ingredient and 90% do.
@@tumbleweeduk7479 Now go to Dr Gundry's info on lectins & oxalates, then see what's left that we can even eat. Alot on her list here that we can eat are what we've had to already stop eating - or change the way they're prepared like pressure cooking
Dang, now I’m craving avocado, kimchee, cheese, and kalamata olives.
Look for underlying root causes and then you can have those back. It's my least favorite diet to recommend but sometimes it's necessary short term. Make sure you watch my other videos on causes of histamine intolerance and how to clear histamine from the body. It's not supposed to be a restriction forever! I hope you can find the root causes because berries and guac are super healthy foods. This is something I help my people with and you can read more about working with me here (nourzibdeh.com/work-with-me-eliminate-gut-and-related-problems/)
😂😂
I have been having itchy skin and digestive problems for almost 4 years. No one has been able to figure it out. I honestly believe I have a histamine problem. I’ve been researching and everything fits. The trigger foods, the symptoms, the problems. How do I confirm my hypothesis? I’m tired of trying to figure it out. I feel like the only thing that doesn’t make me itch is air and water. 😂😢
Same here!! My story exactly.
I have had chronic hives for over a year. Started a keto diet and it’s slightly improved but not 100.
Hey can u tell about your diet ..@@johncanetta5116
Wow, I learned so much! I’m 77 and knew I was sensitive to nightshades, but had no clue about the leftovers and leaving fresh meats in the fridge too long. I remember hearing something about bone broth, but you make it so very clear here in your video. Thank you so much. Perhaps I can correct my occasional but puzzling bouts of diarrhea.
Glad to hear the video was helpful! Best wishes!
This is relate to me. But i decide to fix my histamine metabolism, instead of avoiding histamine food. Because avoiding doesnt make sense to me. I did it by improving gut microbiome. My rhinitis is gone for good
how did you do it?
Please can you give details of how you improved your gut Microbiome, my daughter is desperate to sort out her hive reactions she is trying to conceive but it’s documented that over reacting histamine can affect this happening.🙏
Hi.. i eat fermented food, variety of fruits and vegetables. Avoid dairy, antibiotic, and sugar. if you want to eat meat, please choose organic meat. And i follow circadian eating window. Which mean, i stop eating at around 17.00-18.00. But im not sure if this eating window is suitable for kids. Eating window is very important for adult. Since our intestine need time to rest. And most importantly, 70% of our immune system is in the gut
And also, avoid all processed food. Almost all product that available in grocery store (snack, etc). Train your gut to adapt to high fiber diet. Dont do snack in between meal. (Normally 2-3 meal for adult)
@@lnz3704can we eat fermented foods with HIT?
Thank you so much and this is very helpful and clear information !! I am a chronic gastritis, I’ve been struggling with all the histamine symptoms and no doctor has figured what’s going on except the gastritis issues. My stomach is finally getting better after having a low histamine diet now
Glad you’re starting to feel better… have you figured out the root cause of gastritis?
I got blood work back that I have high histamine. And sensitive to wheat, eggs, casein, and a bunch of shellfish. No allergies to them but sensitivities. Thanks for the info. There is a lot out there and some conflicting advice as to what foods are high in histamine. Will see Dr this week.
Years ago when I first started having reactions, my sister suggested it could be nightshade family intolerance. Last year a friend of mine said I had HI. I researched safe and bad foods and found there was a cross over with some foods. So if you're on a low histamine diet and still getting reactions, maybe look at what nightshade foods you still eat and remove them.
My biggest issue now is trying to lower my diabetes level that skyrocketed once I introduced certain foods that were meant to be safe. Such a fine line with getting to the bottom of all this :/
For now I am going to try and do the carnivore diet again and see how that helps my reactions and diabetes
This was so helpful, and it explained the diet and the causes in a comprehensive yet accessible way for someone who does not have a medical background. Thank you!
Glad to hear that!
I have ibs d and severe allergies to many food. , found your content highly informative and to the point. Thank you ❤
Glad to hear that! 🙏
Thanks SO MUCH for your knowledge and time for Us.
Delayed reactions next day or later. 😢 SHORT TERM .
INTERESTING. KEEP HISTAMINE foods out of daily diet. Yikes😮😮😮
You have a very calming and great way of presenting! Thank you for sharing! :)
thank you for your kind words... glad to hear it was helpful!
This has answered so much of my confusions. Thank you so much for the clear and straight to the point explanation ❤
Glad to hear that 🙂
I've recently begun considering whether histamine intolerance is causing or contributing to my condition: migraines, bouts of itching, vertigo, dragging fatigue, dizziness, nausea, abdominal pain, bladder irritation and pain, getting overheated very quickly, breaking into a sweat after doing something like walking up one flight of stairs, very strong reaction to mosquito bites, congestion, itchy eyes...I even broke into a sweat and got really nauseous just following the movements of physical therapist's finger!
I've been examined from head to foot, put through a battery of x-rays, and tests. Conclusion: there's something wrong but we don't know what it is. Final diagnosis: post-viral syndrome (probably).
I'd already identified some of the foods on the high histamine list as migraine and IBS triggers.
I started with monthly prophylactic injections for migraine. I had nasty reactions with extensive swelling and itching that made my life a misery. I decided to take antihistamines before the shot. Yes, the side-effects dampened to bearable. But my dizziness, nausea, and congestion downgraded to mere shadows of their former selves. Then I tried taking an antihistamine in the early stages of a migraine and the migraine stopped.
The downside of the antihistamine tablet is that I sleep for hours after I take it and feel limp and stupid while I'm awake. It's still preferable.
I only take one antihistamine tablet a day, except for the migraine shot, when I take two 30 minutes before.
A low-histamine diet trial can't hurt and may help!
Thank you for sharing. I have those symptoms too and I just found out maybe that is the cause:(
This was wonderful!!! This is going to sound crazy but my mother and grandmother and myself are all highly sensitive to all high histamine foods. All three of us will get extreme vertigo and nausea it can last days!!! We all have decided after this night mare of a life we just want to eat all low histamine vegetables, all low histamine fruits. I eat only the organic turkey patties from the freezer section in the grocery store. When ever I eat non frozen meat I'm sick. We also can eat almonds with no problem. If I need a treat I will have a frozen Italian ice or White chocolate two small pieces. I am also eating a half a cup of white rice everyday and a large baked apple with cinnamon. I will eat this way for the rest of my life because it took me 20 years of suffering. This was in my D&A, Thank you for this!!! I will continue to watch your other video's so I can help others who may have this problem.
Eating any animal products will cause TMAO in your digestive system, which can have symptoms similar to Histamine, such as itching, redness, allergic symptoms, atherosclerosis and metabolic syndrome.
@marknesser9602 and yet I, with HI, live quite happily on a 95% carnivore diet (properly handled proteins).
@@marknesser9602and NOT eating animal products is foolish bc you will destroy your health.
@@judymiller5154 You will regret living on a carnivore diet, when you are in your 70's and the Animal protein has triggered cancer and dementia.

Thank you ❤ I've been battling mastocytosis for years, and I've been on low histamine foods which I'm still having issues with.
Almonds are very high in oxcilits Thankyou . Very overwelming .very helpful.
yes and be careful with sesame and especially leafy greens and oxalates. Best wishes and I'm glad it's helpful!
This is a wonderful introduction!
Glad to hear that! 🙏
Thank you so much, this has been super interesting and very informative! I am healing from Celiac disease and with time realized, that a low histamine diet, together with my strict gluten free diet has made a huge difference! I was so confused when I ate plain cooked rice with a ripe avocado, but kept feeling awful! I then found out that an inflamed small intestine, might produce less DAO until more healing takes place..
Wow is your small intestine healed now and how are you doing now with the histamine issue?
Great video, but you don't mention the mold in the coffee or the grains
Excellent instruction, well communicated in an orderly manner. Thank you!
So, I eat the majority of the foods mentioned, so that would explain my skin itching an hour or so after eating and horrible stomach pain
I have always had issues with green tea, fermented/aged milk produce and many pickles. While I love tomatoes, eating too much of them def triggers something- and same with chocolate. When I first started keto, I didn't realize how I left out most of these foods, and thought it was only the bread etc. that had caused issues.
interesting observation. Be careful with a lot of aged cheese with keto diet
I have Long Haul Covid. This will help me tremedously. Thank you for posting this!
Same here
immensely helpful and credible information in this single video that sums up all about what and how to eat and what others to avoid during histamine inducing seasons , especially in spring time as of now in northern hemisphere.
Glad to hear this was helpful! It's definitely something you can pay closer attention to during high allergy seasons 🙏
The info on leftovers was surprising thx.
I'm glad it was helpful and something new to pay attention to
So basically some people can eat food thats older. And some cant. Thank you. God bless you. Now i get why fermentation is messing me up so much.
Yes, exactly. Many people add fermented foods to improve gut health but it backfires. But hopefully you can work on healing your gut and underlying root causes so you can eat leftovers and fermented foods
I have so many issues with coffee and tea. Very interesting.
Breaking out in hives is not joke at all great information many people lack the understanding of there own body it's a daily battle 🙏🏽
This is the diet I have had to follow since I was diagnosed with Interstitial Cystitis. I also did a KMBO test and am sensitive to spinach, squash, salmon, CORN, and some others.
Chicken and carrots!🥕
Absolutely AMAZING vid ❤. So clear and easy to follow. Thank yo🙏🙏🙏
Glad to hear that!
I sure appreciate your knowledge because this is an area that has not been addressed with my eczema and I have done all kinds of vegetables and all kinds of fruits I juice and I bland, but some of them are histamines and I’ve been making cheap cuts of meat, like a chuck roast and coconut and my electric skillet for three or four hours with onions and a little tiny red potatoes and baby carrots And I thought that was OK and I ate that all week and it was very good every night for dinner and I had my baby greens and salads greens in my smoothies and juices cause I don’t have to put salad dressings on amino but I guess I have to buy something else that I can cook and just eat fast and not cook it slow on 200 or something that’s what I do with my chuck roast I’ve got four of them in the freezer not gonna cook fast and be tender
try an InstantPot - short pressure cook right from frozen, then freeze portions.
Incredible. I was allowed to 95% of these foods as a child. I’m now not officially allergic to any of them as an adult. I don’t drink much alcohol because it immediately blocks up my sinuses and causes instantaneous headache!
extremely helpful! I do a lot of research into things that plague my health and until now, I have not heard of this aspect. since I have been watching your vid, of course, I have been getting more info about histamine in my feeds lol. I will recommend your channel to several people.
The algorithm will do its magic! I'm glad you're getting the information you need and thank you for recommending my channel :)
Excellent video. Will check out your gut videos as I have an issue in the small intestine. Fermented foods, citrus and tomatoes are definitely my triggers.
Have you figured out the problem?
Excellent, informative, organized presentation. Thank you.

Hello
Trying to increase my protein since postmenopausal. Are clean protein powders and collagen protein powders (Vital Protein collagen powder, etc) considered high histamine?
Hi Nour, thank you for sharing this information. Very helpful x
Glad to hear this! 🙏
Thank you soooo much for this. I have been struggling with too much histamine in body and eliminating these foods have helped so much

THANK YOU, FOR THE VERY HELPFUL INFORMATION.
excellent! jam packed with important info. thank you so much. i'm confused about coffee as i have read it is high in histamines unless it is decaf bc of caffeine? likewise, what about diet sodas that do not have caffeine? are they ok? thanks again.
Wish I could heal and know what to do foodwise so many opinions
What about oregano? I heard it does wonders, especially the tea.
Ah, thank you for this - I can drink coffee! You may have saved some lives with this video, lol. ☕☕☕
So many thanks for this comprehensive video. I appreciate your time and energy into it. Here're a few questions ;
1) If I cook gluten free, dairy free, vegan, low histamine Zucchini (ingredients mostly squash, dill, parsley, scallion and hemp seed as binders) and keep cooked Zucchinis in the fridge for 1 week long meal, does it still produce Histamine ?
2) Buckweat flour and psyllium husk as pancake ingredients Still histaminic?
3) would an organic grape molasses be histaminic? (Organic, glass jar )
4) would an carob molasses be still histaminic?
5) Lastly, have I heard correct; almond flour still high histaminic?
6) As someone from Turkey, I would ask if Sumac is histaminic?
I have searced all the above but couldnt find a satisfactory resource.
Thank you for all you do.
Bles Be
Why would you destroy your health with the vegan nonsense? Meat & eggs are the 2 main low histamine foods! 🤦♀️
Thanks so much for this
It's so informative and to the point
Much appreciated
Always happy to help!
Thank you so much for making this video, it’s reeeaally helpful! And the freezing rather than letting on counter or in fridge is SO IMPORTANT 😳

I was diagnosed with MS 14 years ago and through trial and error, all these foods listed as contains or produces histamine are problematic for me. I never understood the connection between them and I wish I was informed about histamine that long ago as it would have saved me many years pain and suffering.
Are you saying that you were misdiagnosed with MS completely (that you dont actually have it after all) or that it reduced your MS symptoms ? How much better do you feel now that you are on low histamine compared to a few years ago ?
@@ratgreen I was not misdiagnosed, I was diagnosed with RRMS from two neurologists through spinal tap and MRI in 2009. There was hardly any info online about MS I continued to eat the regular SAD diet for the first year and I continued to read whatever was available online. I found I needed to avoid extra salt, dairy, saturated fat, and mercury teeth filings which I had. I had my amalgam removed, and I ate salmon (farm raised at the time :( I didn't know better), broccoli, chicken and white rice (which I later changed to brown rice). I started introducing one new food and I would eat it roughly every other day for 2 weeks and see If symptoms changed. Symptoms were numbness, tingling, burning, weakness in different areas in head, face, both legs below (slightly above knee) all way down to toes. If i had increased symptoms, I would know to avoid the food. I got better to the point where all symptoms reversed except for numbness in my left toes. 2.5 years ago I thought I recovered to the point where I thought to try some yogurt, and I ate it with no issues and I thought I was finally recovered and my body is accepting these prohibited foods, then I hate ice cream, then I tried whole wheat bread (made at home, simple organic soaked wheat, water and yeast) then nut butter (almond and mixed nuts) Then cakes and I continued indulging for a little over a year then I started feeling tingling in my tongue and I knew I had screwed up. Gradually all my old symptoms that were gone for years came back with vengeance with additional areas in the body impacted (which were mostly the arms and torso).
I followed this diet by a doctor called doctor Dr Goldner which is mostly smoothies and It wrecked my gut where my gut felt being shredded from the inside. I started searching and came across carnivore and I was skeptical and worried because of what I had learned years ago about saturated fat. I gave it a try for closed to 5 months and it was hard to get away from carbs. specially fruit. The shredding in my gut improved over time until it went away but two things were fixed which I struggled with my whole life even before MS, that is fatigue, I always felt fatigued with no energy even as a kid. It is a different feeling being able to wak up 5:30 in the morning full of energy and not have to sleep until 9:00 p.m. I also had bladder issues where I had to get up and use the bathroom at night at least twice even if I avoided drinking 3-4 hours before bed. It ruined my sleep. That was gone with carnivore. I had learned that carnivore is good short term but not long term because the gut needs prebiotic fiber , so I started introducing asparagus, okra, cabbage, and cauliflower. Some are not low FODMAP unless they are pressure cooked and water is drained to dump all the oxalates and antinutrients. So I eat grass fed fatty meat( mostly chuck roast pressure cooked), grass fed beef liver, wild caught salmon (sockeye mostly), tallow which I get from the chuck roast after pressure cooking and letting the meat broth cool in the fridge, tallow float at the top and hardens then I eat it with the meat when it is frozen (takes time to get used to). I also noticed my gallbladder isn't working correctly. I could only eat 6-7 TBSP of tallow, fat trimmings and I should be able to eat double that amount if my gallbladder is working correctly. so hopefully that gets fixed overtime as I increase the amount of Fats. I also eat 2-3 oz of organic frozen blueberries per week.
I know it will take a few more years to recover but it seems things are finally improving slowly.
During my journey that all high histamine high FODMAP triggered my symptoms. Also during the years, I would eat Lamb every now and then but I always avoided Beef. Now I eat mostly Beef everyday. I also eat salmon twice a week. I take magnesium glycinate 200mg before bed by an hour, I take potassium citrate, and 5000 IUs D3 per day during winter time. I take 30 minute walks every day and I sprint once a week ) Eating mostly meat with low carb will cause your body to flush the sodium and you need magnesium and potassium to balance the electrolytes. I wish I could have one banana a day for the potassium but I can't and it is high in carbs as well which will make me feel fatigued.
I hope this helps any MS sufferers.
@@ratgreen i responded and it seems my comment was removed. i was not misdiagnosed and I still have MS but it was greatly improved on a hightfat, low protein low fodmap ow histamine diet. i mostly eat fatty meat and some pressure cooked low carb veggies. my fatigue is completely gone, brain fog gone. , a lot of numbness is gone. bladder control is back to completely normal. i eat very little organic raw honey 1-2 tbsp per week. no fruits

For those with Long Covid or PASC, GI issues can be a real ongoing problem. I am a first waiver, and in the early stages of the pandemic, the medical community was struggling to help patients. For eight months, my doctors didn't have any idea of things to do. Another Long Hauler, as we called ourselves in those days, doctor was treating people with a similar disorder and recommended a low histamine diet. It worked for him and people across the world learned from his experience how to care for themselves and educate their physicians.

Hi there, thanks for the video. I was wondering about coffee. The SIBO doctor (Australia) has a free PDF of what to avoid on a low histamine diet and coffee is listed in the 'Avoid' column. Thoughts please? Would love to add it back in my diet 😅
I've mostly heard the same but I've heard it's usually because of mold in the coffee look online for companies who produce organic coffee and test to make sure it's mold free
Thank you so much for such a concise video - I’ve watched MANY and I found yours by far the clearest guidance. I have many symptoms of histamine intolerance and tested with food allergies for wheat, casein, egg white, beef, corn (low).
I have one question about egg white - might it just be the albumin in RAW egg white that’s the problem?
I was intrigued that you do use tests because they are controversial - as you know, many people tested find that the foods they eat are the ones they are allergic to.
When might you consider trying the Oxalate diet?
Notes I took for myself:
High Histamine Foods
-Aged, cured or fermented foods
-Alcohol
-Vinegar
-Olives
-Aged cheeses and aged, cured or fermented meats (smoked salmon)
-Canned versions of high histamine Foods, ie green beans
-Leftovers
-Slow and long cooked foods
-Dried fruits and meats
-Shell fish
-Canned Tuna, sardines, Anchovies
-Berries, citrus fruit
-Chocolate
-Walnuts, Pecans, Peanuts and Pistachios
-legumes: soy, legumes and pluses
-Green, Black Tea
Low Histamine Foods
-Fresh as possible
-Low Histamine
vegetables (not spinach, tomatoes, mushroom and eggplant)
-Ask about when meat was processed. The store may have fresher meat in the back. Check label for possessing date. Pick the freshest.
-Freeze meat immediately upon buying
-Frozen fish is better than fresh unless you live near a coast or source of fresh fish
Histamine clearing veggies (kale, cabbage, carrots, broccoli, collard greens, pumpkin, butternut squash, Zucchini, radishes, beets, peas, peppers)
-pea sprouts source of DAO
Fruit: Apple, pear, grapes, honeydew, cantaloupe 1/4 c blueberries
Avoid gluten
Grains Low but avoid gluten
Use Quinoa, GF Oats
Coconut oil
Seeds better than nuts
Dairy, fresh but not fermented
Drinks: water, herbal teas, nettle leaf tea (especially good for Histamine Intolerance)
Food sensitivities - your body will release Histamine in response to foods you're sensitive to
-Keep a food log to see when you react to foods -You can test for food sensitivities.
Check link in description for people in the US and Canada.
It could be the soy feed to the hens causing that reaction.

During the second time of getting covid day 2 of being sick my mouth and hands started tingling. Got over Covid and a week later start getting hives (MCAS). Noticed some foods set me off. Blows my mind one day you can eat what you want and the next day you got food allergies. Have you dealt with people who had covid non vaxxed and get MCAS? Whats odd these hives last 24-36 hours and move somewhere else. My doctor is cluesless and all my bloodwork came back good beside Vit D is at 11. Its winter time in the north. Its making my life misable and had to quit working because the pain and flares make my hands, feet swell, and my joints hurt. Going low hist for a time. Never had skin issues before getting Covid the second time.
consider the facebook pages Long Covid Support Group and Histamine Intolerance. Helped me a lot!
thank you very much for your guidance

THANK YOU Nour for this clearly relayed and comprehensive presentation.
Glad to hear that! 🙏
Hi Dr., Im a little confused about the chicken and turkey. I buy both precooked and packaged (Trader Joes) and they are clean, no additives. Even though they are already cooked, should I still put them in the freezer if Im not going to use them for a couple of days? Thanks so much for your videos. Blessings.
yes, freeze everything in flat single portions for easy thawing. some deli-type meats are already very high histamine, tho, so you might want to avoid until you are symptom-free, then test.
Does prolonged fasting help with this histamine issue?
I wonder about this too?
@@ca147 I did 72 of 'Water Only' fasting and my body experienced miraculous hives reduction!
Not sure if it'll work for others.
My issue is I have bad gut and apparently fasting does some gut repair.
Soon I will go on one full week 'Water Only' fasting and see if that will cure my gut permanently.
I will update this feed.
P.S I think the health industry does not promote fasting as it is free and they don't make money out of it.
I want to try this but I really worry about getting enough protein. I dont have time nor the money to afford to drive all the way to the supermarket every few days for fresh meat, and even then, theres not many sources of protein left. Any good sources of protein that dont break the bank? Inflation has made meat super expensive.
Great information Thank you so much
Is Schisandra Berry tea ok to have. Thank you 😊
I've read that coffee is low histamine, but can block DAO. Is this true? Im suspecting a histamine intolerance and am following a low histamine diet, but coffee/espresso is my absolute worst trigger.
🙏🏻 great amount of information!
Thank you! Glad to hear it!
Thank you very much Noor for this video, so many things just made sense.
Glad to hear this was helpful! 🙏
Is there a specific test I can ask my doctor to see if I have histamine related problems? And thank u xoxo
It is too difficult to apply if i want test these restrictions. I'm vegan since 15 years. I don't want to eat only quinoa, rice, oat, and "sarrasin" (i forget how we say in english, i'm french) with cabbage, cabbage and few vegetables. I prefer to buy DAO enzyme vegan (anti-histamine) from germ of pea.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. Blessings~
Thank you!
What's in energy drinks that messes with DAO? I take a taurine supplement, so I hope it's not taurine.
Is black seed oil good for histamine intolerance? Thanks
HI CAN I TAKE ENZYME LIKE CREON AND DIGEST HISTAMINE CAPSULE AT THE SAME TIME ?
What can we eat to help our gut since we have to avoid foods like yogurt, kefir, and sauerkraut?
Is there any relationship between histamin intolerance and Narcolepsy?
Assalamu alaikum. I was wondering is real honey high histamine? Please answer.
