Buy Low-Histamine Foods – Enjoy Without Worry with Histamine Intolerance

The tissue hormone histamine is present in the human body and is involved in digestion and immune defense, among other functions. It also lowers blood pressure. During an inflammatory reaction, histamine is responsible for the swelling of the skin. However, histamine is not only found in the body: many foods also contain varying amounts of it – and this can become a problem for sensitive individuals.

What Happens with Histamine Intolerance? ❓

In the case of histamine intolerance, the intestines cannot break down excess histamine. The result is symptoms such as abdominal cramps, diarrhea, headaches, or even skin redness and rapid heartbeat. Since the symptoms often appear with a delay and vary in intensity from person to person, conscious food selection is the most important lever for greater well-being in everyday life.

Which Foods are Considered High in Histamine?

A general rule is: the longer a food is aged, stored, or fermented, the more histamine it usually contains. Typical candidates include:

• long-aged cheeses like Parmesan or mountain cheese
• cured meats and smoked meat products like salami
• fermented foods like sauerkraut
• red wine and other alcoholic beverages
• canned goods and long-stored fish

Freshly prepared dishes made from fresh ingredients are usually better tolerated. How strict you need to be varies individually – it's best to approach it slowly and observe what works well for you.
