Histamine Intolerance Podcast

Avoiding leftovers is a key part of the low histamine diet, and this is respected in many ancient traditions too - including the ancient healing science of Ayurveda, where only fresh food should be eaten.

Also in the yogic tradition, leftovers are also a no-no.⁣

I just got back from my holiday. And I have a report from the buffet!

Is it to be avoided on a low-histamine diet? Let's find out.

FYI, the Healing Histamine website says this. In baking, bicarbonate of soda and sometimes calcium carbonate, are great substitutes. I've found that natural fermentation is also preferable to man made yeast (which is not natural at all) that's added in baking. There's some debate as to whether yeast baked at very high temperature is still a problem for us. I have no information on whether nutritional yeast is alright from a histamine perspective. Of note is that vitamin B12 is made from bacterial process, which may account for why many struggle with it, while many vitamin B supplements generally are made from, or grown with, yeast. This absolutely does not mean we shouldn't take them, but rather an explanation as to why they may have bothered you in the past.

What is the cause of your histamine intolerance and how do you plan to heal? That's the long term goal right? I've been thinking about the big histamine triggers.

For some of us the answer is in the genes, and for some it's in the gut. For others it may lie in managing stress.

One of the tips that comes up in the podcast is to use a tiny little humidity monitor to help you with mold and histamine intolerance. Genius idea. With that I can tell if the humidity is under 50% (good). There's loads more on humidity and other tips like this.

Let's talk about histamine intolerance and cheese. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣ I'm okay with some soft cheeses. But I went out last night and had a delicious curry with paneer in it. I discovered that isn't okay for me.

Feta is better, but it is listed as medium histamine on the food list on my site.

I've put particular care into the cheese area as this an area that lots of people ask about.

As a basic rule of thumb it seems the more aged the cheese the higher the levels of histamine.

So a blue veiny Stilton is absolutely off the chart, but a young mozzarella will tend to have much lower levels of histamine. Disclaimer: Always check with your doctor or health practitioner before starting any treatment program. ⁣This is not advice, it is intended for information and discussion only.⁣⁣⁣

Feta is softish and many seem to tolerate it, and as always it might have to be something you test.⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Do bookmark the food list on the website. I've made it as simple as possible with an emoji traffic light system to create the most comprehensive, alphabetical histamine intolerance list. ⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ * Red - high histamine = 😡 * Yellow - medium/debate = 🤔 * Green - foods generally low = ✅ ⁣⁣⁣ So when you are out and about you can simply open this page and search for the food you aren't sure about. We've listed our sources on the site too. ⁣⁣⁣ ⁣⁣⁣ Where do you stand on cheese? Are you able to eat Feta? What about other cheeses?⁣⁣⁣ Let me know on the site. ⁣⁣⁣

Just brewed ☕ A histamine-fighting hibiscus tea. ⁣ ⁣ Don't take my word for it. Beth O'Hara says…⁣ ⁣ "Hibiscus is high in quercetin and kaempferol that can support mast cells. Be sure to use organic hibiscus flowers."⁣ ⁣ And the Healing Histamine website calls hibiscus…⁣ ⁣ "Mast cell stabilising/antihistamine, quercetin rich and anti-inflammatory"⁣ ⁣ Are you a hibiscus tea fan? What teas do you recommend? Everything on this podcast is provided for information only and may not be construed as medical advice or instruction.

Having been on holiday for the last two weeks, my 'cute' (some might say) freckles are out in force⁣ ⁣ We've talked regularly about the link between histamine intolerance and skin issues. ⁣I'm looking at two interesting areas at the moment, copper peptides and zeolite on the skin. I'll come to that in a second. But first. ⁣ But I wonder if anyone has noticed a link with;⁣ ⁣ Skin pigmentation⁣ Moles⁣ Freckles⁣ Rosacea⁣ Dark Skin Patches (probably not the technical term)⁣ Melasma⁣ Vitiligo⁣ ⁣ I don't honestly know the answer which is why I'm asking! There's an interesting article on the Healing Histamine site on this here which suggests a link. https://healinghistamine.com/blog/how-histamine-affects-skin-pigmentation/

Part 2 - a second excerpt from my interview on this detox protocol. I've found a huge benefit to taking Toxaprevent. The tests they've carried out on histamine removal in the stomach are fairly astonishing. So I speak to Dilkiran Kumar about it in more depth. This is an excerpt from the longer interview which you can hear on my podcast Zestology.

Many of my symptoms start in the gut, and this is well worth a go. I take it on an empty stomach with a flare-up, and half an hour before a high-histamine meal too. It is proven to remove the majority of histamine from the gut, and their test results are incredible. This is my current go-to histamine supplement.
