The Low Histamine diet helps reduce symptoms from conditions like Histamine Intolerance (HIT) and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).The diet is challenging to follow, as there are very few primary data sources available that accurately detail which ingredients are:
1.) High in histamine and other amines like tyramine
2.) Histamine liberators (ingredients that trigger release of the body's natural histamine)
3.) DAO blockers (ingredients that block DAO, the enzyme that breaks down histamine and other amines)
We've done our best to provide accurate information on the histamine content of white bread; however, we suggest working with a dietitian to navigate the diet and understand your individual needs.
Keep in mind that multiple histamine food lists exist. Some of them are based on science, and some of them are based on patient experiences. Use these lists as a starting place for your own personalized list of food triggers. You know your body best!
