Low-Histamine Diet
A low-histamine diet is a specialist, usually temporary elimination approach rather than a universal healthy-eating diet.
This full Space to Breathe Therapy Nutrition Library guide explains what histamine is, why food histamine can vary, why published food lists often disagree and why symptoms should not automatically be assumed to mean histamine intolerance.
The guide covers commonly restricted foods, freshness and storage, the difference between histamine intolerance, food allergy and scombroid food poisoning, and a structured approach to baseline recording, temporary reduction, assessment and reintroduction.
There is practical guidance on building nutritionally balanced meals, proteins, carbohydrates, fruit and vegetables, leftovers, eating out and the limitations of supplements marketed for histamine support.
Dedicated sections explore ARFID, autism and sensory needs, food allergy, medication, eating disorders and food fear, along with warning signs that need medical assessment.
The guide finishes with common myths, a personal check-in, evidence sources and a supportive message from Space to Breathe Therapy.
The central message is that the purpose of a low-histamine trial is to discover the widest diet you can comfortably tolerate, not the smallest diet you can survive on.
