If you have mast cell inflammation, a low-histamine diet can reduce triggers while your body heals. It's not a cure, but a temporary way to avoid foods that pile on histamine while you address the underlying inflammatory response.

Some people are more sensitive to salicylates, for example. So you might be on a low salicylate diet and then look at the histamine diet and see where the crossover is. Some people are on low phenolic diets. Some people are on many, many other types of diets. Again, if you can do a general low histamine diet approach, the idea is that that's not the cure, but it's like while we're having these mast cell responses, let's not throw more histamine in or more histamine triggers into our body while we sort out what we're going to do with the inflammatory response.
