Matt Kelly identifies three dietary triggers that worsen mast cell symptoms: histamine, salicylate, and oxalate. A low-histamine diet helps initially, then you can identify and reduce high-salicylate and high-oxalate foods to lower overall stress on your body.
The three big ones that you can look at. Histamine. We talked about that on a previous section. A low histamine diet can be very helpful, especially in the beginning. Salicylate. So you hear about salicylate as part of, like, aspirin. Well, there's high salicylate foods and then oxalate foods. So oxalate, salicylate and histamine. Now, it's not always practical to remove everything, but you can take a look online and look at what the high histamine, salicylate and oxalate foods are and then see what you can do to work around them in your diet. Because it's like taking a brick off. Not going to cure you, but it's one less thing for your body to be stressed by and deal with.
