Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)Moderate
fish and seafood build up histamine very fast once caught, and cooking does not destroy it. For a low-histamine diet choose fish frozen at sea or flash-frozen, eat it the day it thaws, and never keep leftovers, which gain histamine quickly.
