Foods to Help Overcome Allergies in Farmington

Histamine! Why aren't you my friend?

Histamine is naturally released by the immune system as a trigger for inflammation. Histamine release triggers immune system responses.

If you have tons of histamine in your system, you also have tons of immune reactions to just about everything.

Your house. Your cat. Your bed. Your laundry soap.... The list goes on and on.

But there is light at the end of the nostril.

You can easily avoid eating foods that are high in histamine.

Doing so will reduce your overall histamine load and lower your allergy symptoms.

Here's the list:

Fermented dairy. Think cheese, aged cheese, cream cheese, yogurt and sour cream.

Toss those tomatoes for a bit, yes you can survive without the sauce.

Pickles, kombucha, wine, beer, other "adult" drinks.

Eggplant, spinach, tomatoes again (really let go of the tomato)

Pineapples, bananas, strawberries, nuts...

Chocolate... I know, it's bummer.

Egg whites.

All that crap in processed foods.

So, you can stop eating those chocolate pizzas.... or,

you can take some DAO with each meal.

DAO (Diamine Oxidase) is an enzyme supplement you can get in pill form. Take it right before you eat and it will decrease your absorption of histamine!

It also helps get rid of histamine your gut bacteria might be making if you happen not to be getting your fiber.

Easy Peasy!
