Going on a low histamine diet has been the best thing for my symptoms and I’ve only been doing it for a few weeks! Is it easy? No!!! Is it frustrating? Yes!!! Is it worth it? Also yes 😌🫶 Shoutout @guavahealthinc for helping me figure out I’ve been diagnosed with MCAS for 2 years 💀😂❤️ Histamine is a compound involved in immune responses. In MCAS, excess histamine release triggers symptoms like flushing, hives, and GI issues (plus a loooooooot more). Histamines naturally increase as food ages or ferments, so consuming fresh, minimally processed foods helps limit intake. Freezing fresh food halts histamine growth, preserving its low levels and preventing symptom flares. :) It’s quite a complicated diet but has really improved my symptoms!
