We were on holiday, and we had a coffee capsule machine in our room. ⁣⁣What a treat!⁣ But by the end of the week, I am convinced these capsules were⁣⁣ increasing my symptoms.⁣⁣

Every coffee I’d feel bunged up and blocked quickly. Attractive right? ⁣⁣Who knows why? ⁣

It might be the plastic in the capsules getting heated to high temperatures, or the mould that often builds up in the moist coffee machine or something else. ⁣⁣Consider avoiding coffee capsules and coffee machines that use capsules.⁣⁣

I first started drinking coffee made with Bulletproof Coffee⁣ Beans, a supposed low-toxin, low-mold organic coffee grown by⁣ reputable farmers. Then I noticed other available organic and low-toxin coffees that seemed to lessen my symptoms.⁣ Like Exhale Healthy Coffee and Mindful Coffee are great options to explore.

⁣⁣This is quite a shame as I particularly like the ‘crema’ that you get from a Nespresso coffee. ⁣⁣But I have found that these capsules increase my histamine symptoms. Either way, a freshly brewed coffee seems to work better for me than capsules.⁣

Look at your coffee intake and drink organic coffee if possible. Personally, this makes an enormous difference. Yes, you might now be ‘that person’ asking in Starbucks if the coffee is organic, but l’ll save you some time; it’s not.

Everybody is different with histamine, and that's definitely true regarding coffee.
