Diagnosed with Histamine Intolerance?

You're probably wondering where to start—and what’s actually safe to eat.

If you’ve recently been diagnosed—or you’ve been navigating symptoms for a while—you know how confusing food choices can be. Knowing where to begin can feel overwhelming.


While I don’t rely heavily on strict food lists, I do believe in having a solid starting point. Most of the time, the safest options are simple, minimally processed foods. But what works for one person may not work for another—your path is unique.

Tips for Success...

Things to Consider...

Things to Consider...

  • Meal prep can be your friend if you go from the stove to the freezer. When bringing home meats and poultry, think about cooking right away and freezing for future meals. 
  • Freezing can help stop histamine buildup, but once the food thaws, histamine levels may rise again.
  • When eating out, don't be afraid to ask about ingredients and prep. I have even called ahead at a slower time of the day and talked with the chef about my certain precautions. They have always been willing to help. 
  • Read food labels and be aware of what's in your food.
  • Keep a food journal - Symptoms can take up to 48 hours to develop.

Things to Consider...

  • Fear of food can cause reactions to them - 
  • Rotate your safe foods - if you're eating the same things over and over, you may develop an aversion to your foods
  • Prioritize sleep - most people need 7–9 hours to support healing and symptom relief.
  • Adding sea salt or electrolytes to your water can aid in hydration
  • Take a short walk after your meal to aid in digestion.
