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.


Roll out the red carpet, dust off that tiara (or your superhero cape, your choice), and cue the drumroll. Because, my fabulous friends, we are about to put the 'fun' back into 'fundamentally low-histamine'!

Yes, you heard me right.

Living with histamine intolerance doesn't measure up to a Hollywood romance, even though I daily co-star with my bottle of vitamin C. But who says our low-histamine lifestyle has to be all gloomy and tedious?

Let's kick off our shoes, let loose and sprinkle some glitter on our dietary constraints. Here's how to strut your low histamine life like it's the after-party of the Oscars.

1. Become a Histamine Detective

Dish soap advert models, move aside. There's a new role model in town — the Histamine Detective. Embrace the detective work when it comes to your diet. And when you crack those tricky histamine codes, don't just celebrate. Throw a fiesta! Rewarding your achievements, however small, will make this journey a lot more fun.

Personal Note: There's no shame in talking to your food. "Oh, shrimp. It's not you, it's me. I'm sorry, but you're just too high in histamine. Toodle-ooh!"

2. Get Creative in the Kitchen

Marrying Fistekh and Pumpkin might not be the royal wedding we've been expecting, but sure makes a deliciously low-histamine hummus. Don't be afraid to experiment. Who knows? You might just discover the next big thing in the low-histamine culinary world!

Personal Note: My cuisine is where 'Chopped' meets 'Nailed it'. Not everything is a masterpiece, but heck, it sure is fun!

3. Embrace the Quirks

Not everyone carries a multi-colored food pyramid chart in their purse. Or has a daily alarm for their DAO supplement. Yes, our habits might raise eyebrows. But turn those quirks into badges of honor. We're vibrant, interesting, and a little eccentric.

Personal Note: My DAO alarm once went off at a meeting. I casually announced, "Oh, it's my DAO supplement time." You should have seen their faces!

4. Find Your Histamine Intolerance Posse

Nothing makes a journey more lively than the right travel companions. Join histamine intolerance support groups, forums, or even start your own! Sharing struggles, victories, recipes, and yes, even laugh about our peculiarities make this journey less lonely and more enjoyable.

Having histamine intolerance doesn’t necessarily mean having to tone down your life. Adjusting your attitude and perspective can make just as much difference as avoiding that plate of smoked salmon.

I would love to hear your stories, those funny moments, the accidental masterpiece recipes, and yes, even the fails. Because we're all in this histamine hoopla together.

Enjoy your low histamine day, Your Matilda
