Please note that while I strive to share accurate and helpful information, the content shared on this blog should not be used as a substitute for professional medical advice or treatment.


Greetings dear friends and low-histamine comrades! It's your avocado-loving, histamine-free lifestyle guru, Matilda coming back at you with fresh, fun, and fabulous ideas to make your low histamine life anything but mundane.

Now, you may think that the words "funny" and "histamine intolerance" belong in the same sentence as much as cats and showers do. That’s fair. But trust me! To carve out a vibrant life amidst histamine hurdles, we need to toss in a dollop of humor to keep things zesty!

In reality, histamine intolerance can feel like you're a vampire, only instead of garlic, you're running away from anything aged, fermented, or mature (unlike your ex, wink wink). Oh, dairy and fermented items! Who needs 'em? We certainly don't. We steer clear of these sneaky histamine-laden monsters like a sober person avoids the karaoke machine at a party.

Let me assure you, transitioning to a low-histamine diet doesn't mean you'll be reduced to eating grass and air. No, no! This isn't some Hollywood fad diet! You've got a smorgasbord of tasty and histamine-friendly food options. Ever tried butternut squash soup with ginger and coconut milk? Or how about grilling up delectable pieces of chicken seasoned with rosemary and garlic? Hear that? It's your taste buds singing the Hallelujah!

One tip I will share with you, my fellow histamine warriors, is the importance of menu planning. Believe me, I've done the panic-dance in front of the fridge too many times at the sight of nothing but a lonely cucumber and an expired bottle of sauce. But fret not, with a little planning, you can save your soft shoe routine for the dance floor instead of the kitchen.

Remember, getting to know your body’s histamine happy and not-so-happy list is key. Personalize your diet. Cherish the foods that get along with you, like your best friend who brings you cookies (histamine-free ones, of course!) and snuggles with you during your Netflix binge-watch sessions. Consider those trigger foods as acquaintances you smile and wave at during parties but definitely don’t want showing up at your doorstep.

In all seriousness, living with histamine intolerance has its challenges. But hey, so does wearing high heels, and we've learned how to strut in those, haven't we?

So, here's to embracing the wild histamine ride, turning the diet conundrums into comical interludes, and creating our histamine-hallelujah moments. Stay positive, keep experimenting, and remember to laugh, because laughter really is the best medicine (no histamines, I promise!).

Enjoy your low histamine day, Your Matilda
