Miso

Intolerances
- Histamine (+liberators / DAO inhibitors)High
fermentation produces large amounts of histamine, so fermented foods are high in histamine no matter how fresh they look. There is no low-histamine version of a fermented product.
- TyramineHigh
Fermented soy and fish products are among the highest-tyramine foods there are: they are protein fermented deliberately, for months, which is exactly the condition that builds tyramine. Soy sauce and fish sauce are used in small volumes but are very concentrated. Sources: EFSA Journal 2011 (tyramine and histamine in fermented foods); McCabe-Sellers et al., J Food Compos Anal 2006.
- FODMAPsModerate
miso is made from fermented soybeans and is moderate in FODMAP from GOS and fructans; a small spoonful is usually low FODMAP.
- OligosaccharidesModerate
- GlutenPossible
this processed food may contain gluten from fillers, malt, wheat starch or shared production lines, even though it isn't a wheat product itself. Check for a gluten-free label if you are sensitive.
