- Adults who suspect histamine intolerance after seeing a doctor.
- Anyone confused by conflicting histamine food lists.

- Swelling of the lips or throat or trouble breathing after food needs emergency care, not a food trial.
- It does not cover DAO or other supplements.
Clinical Evidence & Scientific Grounding
The explainer follows the review by Comas-Basté et al. (Biomolecules, 2020), which says more evidence is needed to define and manage histamine intolerance. The food list is our own, written from the comparison of ten low-histamine diets by Sánchez-Pérez et al. (Nutrients, 2021). The freshness rules follow USDA FSIS leftovers guidance and the FDA guidance on histamine in fish.
This navigator is an educational tool. It is not medical advice. See a doctor first; a food trial is best done with a dietitian.
