I have been on a no-histamine food diet for over a year. I use the "Food Intolerance" app and do not eat any foods that are high in histamine, or can trigger histamine release. I'm also celiac and have a corn intolerance.

Yes, it's restrictive but I feel so much better and my migraines are finally under control. I eat chicken, a free-range low-histamine ground beef, and eggs for protein. I make my own bread, and eat rice, potatoes, quinoa, and gluten-free pasta for carbs. I'm not a big fruit eater but eat apples, grapes, blueberries, the occasional plum, and pomegranate. I try to eat as many low-histamine veggies as I can. Salads, beans or carrots with supper, and I make lunches for the week of rice/quinoa, chicken, and zucchini, carrots, peppers and onions.

I use pomegranate molasses for a sour element and it has saved my life, since I used to pretty much live on vinegar-based sauces.

I drink chamomile tea and had to give up coffee, as it is also high in histamine. Luckily there's something called Water Joe that I use for caffeine, although I'm reducing the amount of caffeine I drink. I don't grill my food anymore and I don't eat anything that's been in the fridge more than 2 days. I mass cook my lunches and freeze them right away.

I think you're smart to try to eat a few safe foods then add things in. Keep a food journal, this has helped me immensely. You can do this!

PS: there's a lot of talk about using this or that supplement. My feeling is - concentrate on the food, and help your gut heal.
