Repairing our microbiome while not triggering our symptoms is a fine balance for those of us with MCAS and other amine sensitivities. It's a vicious cycle... 1. We become hypersensitive to foods we used to be able to eat (flushing, rashes, heart palpitations, drop/spike blood pressure, GI distress and even anaphylaxis in some cases) 2. We understandably avoid those foods 3. We also become food anxious 4. This is REAL, the symptoms are REAL - and it all results in a limited diet 5. Which affects our micriobiome diversity 6. Which results in a weaker microbiome 7. Which leads to more chronic inflammation and food sensitivity See the cycle? Please be clear - I am not saying people should eat foods that trigger their symptoms - that would be dangerous - but we can actively seek to increase the range of foods that don't trigger our symptoms. The SIGHI list is the most scientifically based low histamine food guide available. It takes a minute to understand, but is so worth your time. Foods are categorized by type and then rated 0-3 with a 3 being the highest. They are also marked with a L if the food is a histamine liberator. This list here is not fully inclusive, so check out the SIGHI list for even more possibilities. I can eat most of the rated '0' foods - and seeing how many are available really helps me! Interestingly, peeling the veggies helps some people tolerate them better as well (peeled potatoes or cucumbers esp). How many of these delicious veggies can you include in a soup or salad or sheet pan roasted veggie night? IG does not allow me to include links, but you can see the full SIGHI list on our website blog page -- here is the URL for you to cut and paste - link to our website is in our bio.
