Hello,
There is a considerable number of fish included in the list of unsuitable foods for histamine intolerance (HIT). Why aren't salmon and cod among them? Is it okay to consume fish oil (O-3) from sardines in the case of HIT, or is it better to prefer fish oil from salmon? Thank you :)
When attempting to adjust the diet system for histamine intolerance (HIT), it is essential to consider not only the (potential) content of histamine and its liberators in individual foods but also the highly individual reaction of each person. This combination of conditions makes histamine intolerance a very challenging problem to tackle in practice (at least in terms of applying any specific model). Always bear in mind that the histamine content in individual foods can differ significantly from the tabulated values, with the variance being quite substantial. For educational purposes, we have marked as unsuitable in the meal planning application for this lesson those foods that are most frequently identified as significant sources of histamine, biogenic amines, and histamine liberators (the list also includes fats and oils). Consider these as a preliminary basis; it is the first step towards the practical implementation of an elimination diet.
