do a little search on google about histamine or histadelia and you'll get a fair bit of info, the diet is much less strict than any other diets I've come across which is good, basically you havta get your complex carbs, I ate some potatos today and been feelin good, and some protein. I've been told my naturopath protein is important for me, but many sites on the internet say to restrict protein. I think I'll go with my naturopath.. Also a symptom I forgot to mention was episodes of a "blank mind", I get it all the time, I'm thinking about something or talking to someone and suddenly my mind goes blank. Makes so much sense. Also with histamine the red sometimes itchy rashes all over your body develop and also something I've noticed is that it swells your face, particiularly ur nose (the bridge becomes swelled and your eyes look further apart) and ur eyes become very irritated., red and dark circles appear under eyes. The swelling of your face seems to be a symptom that hangs around for a long time too, and seems fairly subtle, but believe me I notice it and it makes me look alot worse than i usually do. Sore throats that come and go too, and also you generally have warm skin
As the the supps I take I'm taking it easy at the moment as per orders from the naturopath. She's given me liquid zinc which is real good, and even though I take zinc caps I'm still deficient (poor healing, white spots on finger nails) Other than that vitamin C which is real good for lowering histamine, magnesium and digestive enzymes.
Vitamins to stay away from are niacin and folic acid! Foods to stay away from are highly allergy foods like tomatoes, processed foods and many many others (just look up google). Also foods high in histamine and other amines (obviously)
A good thing about this diet is you can still drink alcohol! Only vodka, gin and white rum tho, which is fine with me, and no copious amounts.. The thing is you can't have soda drinks with them, so looks like I will be having gin and tonics!
