Easy Low Histamine Diet Food Swaps

Restricted food: ‘problem’ oils such as avocado or sunflower oil

Swap for: coconut oil or olive oil

Avoiding ‘problem’ oils, those that use high histamine ingredients such as avocado, is one of the easiest swaps to make.

• For salad dressings I like to use the Bertolli extra virgin olive oil, and add in some herbs, salt and garlic.
• For sweeter dishes such as granola I use the Vita coco extra virgin organic coconut oil. It has a really nice taste and you can use it for all your beauty needs too!

Restricted food: peanut butter

Swap for pumpkin seed butter or almond butter

Oh peanut butter how I miss you . . . My student food of choice, slathered on toast. Or before work. Or mid-afternoon as a snack. I ate so much of it for such a long time. It was hard to let go of, but I have two options that will hopefully work for you if you are as much of a ‘spread’ person as I am:

• The first is Meridian pumpkin seed butter. Bright green(!), and 100% pumpkin seeds with no palm oil, it has a different taste to peanut butter (and colour of course!), but I really like it. Not as sweet as peanut butter but with a hearty and smooth taste.

• The other option is almond butter, and my go-to is the Meridian almond butter. I LOVE this stuff. On toast, rice cakes or oat biscuits, it’s a great mid-afternoon snack. I also like to add it to smoothies and use as a topping for porridge. Almonds score a ‘1’ on SIGHI, but it is stated that small amounts should be tolerated. So they aren’t the lowest histamine and will likely be down to personal sensitivities (or how much you can restrain yourself from slathering on everything!).

This post on low histamine nuts and seeds should be helpful!

Restricted food: peanuts and other nuts

Swap for pistachios, brazil nuts, macadamia nuts

Also on the ‘nut’ theme, there are certain nuts that rate as higher histamine on the SIGHI list such as peanuts, walnuts and mixed nuts. They also don’t rate pecans, so I tend to avoid.

There are nuts that rate as low histamine, and score 0 though! It’s best to stick to ones that aren’t roasted or flavoured with any spices. Perfect for snacking with some fruit. These nuts include:

• pistachios

• brazil nuts

• macadamia nuts

Or swap for tiger nuts

And a very easy low histamine diet food swap is to give try tiger nuts a try as well – maybe in my tiger nut smoothie! They are actually a tuber and not a nut at all, so perfect for those who prefer to be nut free.

Nuts are controversial on histamine diets, and rate higher on other lists, so please be careful and mindful of your own personal intolerances.
