Overview

Low histamine food lists online often disagree with each other. This one follows a 2021 scientific review that compared ten low histamine diets: aged, fermented, cured and canned foods go in the avoid column, a few higher-histamine fresh foods are marked to test carefully, and fresh foods make up the rest.

Because histamine builds up as food sits, a second page covers freshness and shopping tips. Plan with the grocery list and a week of meal ideas, and use the symptom diary to find your own triggers with your doctor or dietitian.
