I want to thank you so much for this web page. I have been looking for low histamine recipes and now I have some. Thanks for your time, in putting them on here. My daughter has eczema and Psoriasis, her skin has got really bad but I put her on a low histamine diet a couple of days ago and she is getting better. Thanks to you, I will have more recipes to feed her. I have also made up some recipes myself.

Around 10 years ago I went to an allergy specialist to be tested to find out what I was allergic to. It turned out that I showed my highest reaction to latex and histamines.

I asked my doctor about the histamine allergy and he told me that I should just take an anti-histamine if I find that I am itching too much.

I also have eczema and have been to my doctor countless times over the years. I kept telling my doctor that I thought it was food related and he always told me it wasn’t. He told me it was stress related and then would prescribe some more cortisone cream. I first remember my eczema showing up around 17 years ago.

I finally investigated the details of a histamine allergy this week! For the past few days, I have been avoiding the foods that I should be avoiding and have found a miraculous change already!!!

I have had GI disturbances for so many years now, I had almost given up the chance of feeling “normal” again. I had given up that any doctor would give me any useful advice.

Thank you SO much for this information. I wish I had known this 10 years ago when my histamine allergy was first diagnosed, but I can tell you that after avoiding the foods on the “no list” for a week now, I am already beginning to feel so much better!!!

No I havent been checked for mastocytosis will mention to Dr next time I go thanks.
Well after about 10 weeks or so without any problems, 2 days ago the right side of my chin has started to react to something… it started out itchy and now there are tiny raised bumps in the itchy area, about the size of a clemantine/tangerine and there is also a small circle area on the other side of my cheek but thats not itchy just slightly raised.
I have not used anything on my skin other than the cream I was advised to use (and if by chance I have, it has been used on all my face not just affected area!) and I really have no idea what started this off again, the only thing in the same area is a couple of spots and thats nothing new!
I have had to start taking the antihistamine again and have appt with Dr in couple of days, hopefully to send me to have some allergy tests done

Yes!!!!!!!! Sounds like a mast cell disorder. Do some research on it. Try taking h1 and h2 antihistamines. Good luck

I had an allergic reaction and this results in me at the moment taking 3 anti histamines a day through the doctor with the addition of steroid cream. This is because it crept up my face from chin level and after my swollen eyes calmed down a bit but remained red and slightly puffy the doc said it was needed to keep it under control and eventually get rid of it.
My question is this though, about a week after the reaction started I started getting burning cheeks right at the top near the eyes, it sort of feels like it does when you get embarrassed but much much more intense in the one area but the area is slightly raised(it seems to calm down overnight but still slightly red and bumpy). After looking on the internet I first thought was roseacea, after cutting out carb’s for a day and getting no flare up I thought it might be that but after finding I can eat scones without a flare up I have come to the conclusion that it is probably Hives, however, I can eat chicken, cheese and eggs (scrambled/fried) without any problem. I get a reaction with chocolate unfortunately and probably with yeast-though have only tried it as one of the ingrediants on crisps since I started my experimenting (who knew yeast in crisps!) and tomatoes. I have looked at various web sites and some include chicken as a meat to avoid while others don’t and some list wheat amongst them while others don’t!
So any advice? Can it be Hives when I can eat most of the ‘Dont’ list or am i just lucky? – at the moment…..
Any advice, previous experience will be gratefully received.
