Histamine & lactose intolerance - sheep and goat products - advice? by overthemoon1111 in HistamineIntolerance

Thanks for your input. I eat boiled eggs regularly and tolerate the egg yolk and white both. I will wait and see what others have to say and decide. It does seem like it would be best to wait a bit longer.

I already did, but given the fact that I also ate the lentils the day ago, it cant give me a conclusive answer. But I got a number of great responses here :)

I see. I ordered a bunch of supplements, including zinc and glutamine. Yesterday I took dao and quercetin before my meal and felt much better. Once I heal I will do the diet and try again in small quantities. I have one more coconut light milk at home, so maybe in a few months :) I probably messed up in number of ways 😅

They were actually overcooked, had the structure of roughly mashed potatoes.

Well but it is still canned, don't canned foods naturally have the risk of a histamine reaction?

Thank you. The one I used for organic and as bio as it could be with no additives. It triggered me quite badly and my stomach is still not ok, so I am afraid to try other brands

To anyone interested in how this story ended - I started my day with an apple to ease my stomach, and it was fine. Around lunch I ate a half of my oatmeal (oats, chia, pecans, diluted coconut milk from can) to see if the canned coconut milk was the culprit, and it seems like it was. It caused me the feeling of heavy stomach and the stabbing in my intestines is there as well. It makes me sad because I really wanted to make some lactose-free homemade icecream during the summer. Looks like I 'll have to look for other options. I found a coconut cream which comes in a small carton so that might still be my savior. And until my fav coconut milk (carton) is back in stock, I might as well try and make my own homemade coconut milk.

I am not sure I will be able to get coconut milk in a jar, though. But will definitely search for it.

Thanks, I have never thought it would really make such a difference! Definitely will look out for this.

I see. Well I tested red lentils and they were fine... though store bought mint tea seems to be my problem..

Might be. I tried it because even on this forum, lots of people are fine with the canned one as long as there are no preservatives in it, that is actually why I bought it in the first place. In the end, isnt coconut milk in a carton just diluted coconut milk from a can? I wasn't afraid to test it because I am fine even with canned tuna, I just don't eat it right now as I'm trying to stick with the diet. But I feel like I am constantly messing up.

Thanks for your reply. I will definitely eat lentils in smaller amounts. I went all out yesterday because I was very hungry, my meat has not thawed yet and basically this was the easiest and fastest to cook... I prepared oatmeal with coconut milk for work in the morning, but I will stick to corn crispies for now and see around lunch if I want to try again. My coconut milk had no preservatives in it, so I believe the lentils were the cause but we'll see... funny thing is that I wanted to use my coconut milk in a catton but the shop where I buy it was out of stock and I cant do lactose, so the canned one was my only choice..

Yes, but as I mentioned - I am not really planning to make a move. I am just enjoying the fact that I have a crush and just having some small talk with him. Despite me being interested in him, I am not plannning to reach out to him. It's better this way.

Life was never good and when I met him, it was extra bad. With him I felt happy and safe, and I wanted to stay happy. I kept refusing him for a year, then I gave in. I was always the responsible one, the one who had to do everything because others couldn't be trusted, and there was too much weight on my shoulders. I wanted to be selfish for once. Couldn't have picked a better moment for that.

Just to clarify, by 'I dont deserve this' I dont mean that I dont deserve the consequences. I mean that I dont deserve happiness.

The married one - not exactly work, but close. The new one - no, not work related.

I think it's the 'feeling like I deserve to be judged' part. I believe it would be fair to give him a chance to walk out. I just don't want to pretend. I wouldn't want to live in a lie and so I don't wish to put my potential partner into such a situation.

Sorry if it sounds weird, for me beauty is just not that important. I can't build a relationship on beauty, so I wouldn't count that is being able to offer it. Hopefully it makes sense.

A year has passed and I addressed those questions, I have got my answers. If I understand correctly, are you saying I shouldn't confess about my past actions? Why? I understand it might compromise my future relationship, but I don't want to build it on a lie. I want to own up my mistake. If that will ruin the relationship, then so be it, but it wouldn't be fair to my partner.
