Am I allowed to say the “F” word here? Ok, I’m going for it. FOOD. It’s the four […]
Shutting down histamine reactions (quickly)

There’s more to the low histamine lifestyle than elimination!
UPDATE: there is a ton of misinformation flying around on the internet. I’m constantly flummoxed by how people will attribute feeling awful to chickpeas or a banana rather than the taco bell, potato chips or chocolate they also had.
