If you’ve been seeing more online about doing a low histamine diet to help your skin rash problems, you’re not alone.

I’m also seeing this happen on the clinical side of things – clients previously been advised by practitioners to reduce high histamine foods because of itchiness in the hopes that their rashes would improve.

This might explain why I frequently get messages + emails asking me if a low histamine diet would be a helpful next best step.

Rather than writing out a lengthy response to each person (because a one word response is no where near sufficient), I figured it was time to share my thoughts.

My answer often surprises people because it’s not what they’d expect.

So that’s what I’m digging into today with the hope that the nuance will help you make a more informed choice for yourself about whether a low histamine diet is worth a try (or not).

In this episode:

• Helpful criteria to figure out if doing a low histamine diet would be worthwhile
• Biggest problems with a low histamine diet (no one tells you ahead of time)
• List of chronic skin issues that might improve
• How strict do you need to be on the diet to get results?
• Should you stay on a low histamine diet for life?

Quotes:

Certain types of rashes will likely improve moreso with a low histamine diet such as chronic hives, urticaria, dermatographia, angioedema, and histamine-driven eczema.

As a rule of thumb, more food restrictions in general do not necessarily equate to being healthy.
