Histamine Foods to Watch out For

My ‘watch out for’ list. I don’t always completely avoid these foods, but I watch out for them.

It may seem long, but these are just foods I'm more cautious around. Everything else I tend to eat just fine (with helpful emojis for your reference lol)

• Foods that have vinegar. (Apple Cider Vinegar might be okay) 🔴

• Fermented foods (oh hi Kombucha) 🔴

• Cured meats. 🔴

• Soured foods. 🔴

• Dried fruits. 🔴

• Smoked fish. Should only be fresh from the water or freezer. 🔴

• Most of the citrus fruits. 🔴

• Nuts. Especially peanuts and walnuts. 🔴

• Aged cheese. In fact all cheese.🔴

• Leftovers. (Unless frozen straightaway.)🔴

• Eggs (for some people – particularly egg whites) 🤔

• Avocado🔴

• Chocolate 🔴

• Bananas🔴

• Nuts 🤔 (some lists say some nuts okay)

• Pineapple 🔴

• Papaya 🔴

• Strawberries 🔴

• Shellfish 🔴

• Tomatoes 🔴

• And most artificial preservatives 🔴

• Energy drinks, 🔴

• Tea 🔴

• Alcohol 🔴 (especially red wine pffff)

• And finally, weird orange donuts like the ones in the pic 🟠 🍩 😂

These foods may differ for everyone, but being mindful of our body's reactions is essential for histamine intolerance.
