Ever wonder why you might feel worse on a low-FODMAP diet? Or do you find yourself reaching for anti-allergy pills more often? Histamine intolerance could be the culprit. And I’m sharing some red-flag symptoms to look out for, along with practical tips on how to adjust your diet if histamine is tripping you up.

From decoding what exactly histamine is to how it sneaks into our food (fermented foods, aged cheeses, even kombucha—yes, kombucha!), I’m here to guide you through it all.

And don’t worry, I’m also sharing what you CAN eat while managing histamine intolerance, so you’re not left feeling deprived. Plus, I’ll walk you through how to test if histamine intolerance is what’s going on with your body.

This episode is packed with insights, so grab a notebook (or just check the link below in the show notes later for my low-histamine meal plan and a full list of high-histamine foods). Let’s get you feeling better, fast!
