Histamine-Rich Foods (including fermented foods):
Histamine-Releasing Foods:
Hello, Richard. I can't say what your children's bloodwork showed and whether it led to the "high histamine" diagnosis. But I can tell you that we don't typically test for histamine itself during allergy testing (either skin tests or blood tests)-what may be tested for are IgE antibodies against certain foods. Histamine is a chemical substance that is released by mast cells in the body (these are part of the immune system) and that is sometimes found in certain foods. Histamine is a substance that leads to many of the symptoms of allergies. I suspect that the nutritionist was not basing her assessment of 'high histamine' on bloodwork but rather simply on the fact that your kids have allergies, since food allergies are in part mediated by histamine release in the blood. Therefore, she is likely recommending to avoid foods that stimulate release of this substance or themselves contain it.

any foods that contain a high protein content
The most unhealthy food for kids are foods high in saturated fats or foods that contain high levels of salt and sugar .e.g.Fast FoodsSweetsChocolate
Yes. Mast cells contain histamine. When exposed to allergens, the membranes of the cell degrade, releasing histamine and causing what are typically recognized as allergic responses, such as hives, runny eyes, nose, sneezing, facial edema, etc. One approach to preventing allergic histamine release - while at the same time not impairing the healthy histamine pathway - is to use plant-based foods/medicines that contain constituents with mast-cell-strengthening properties. Some of these are green tea, rosemary, turmeric, and grape seed. Bioflavanoid supplements such as quercetin are helpful, and quercetin is found in many of the plants that strengthen mast cell membranes.
