Easily communicate your histamine intolerance when dining out using the Histamine Intolerance Digital Card. This downloadable PDF clearly explains your dietary requirements, helping restaurant staff understand that you avoid all foods and ingredients containing high levels of histamine, such as wine, vinegar, aged cheese, cured meat, soy sauce, and tomato.<\/p>\n
Histamine intolerance occurs when the body cannot break down histamine efficiently, usually due to a deficiency in the enzyme diamine oxidase (DAO). This means avoiding foods naturally high in histamine such as wine, beer, vinegar, aged cheese, cured meat, soy sauce, spinach, and tomato, as well as fermented and pickled products. Histamine is commonly found in sauces, marinades, dressings, and fermented foods, making it important to communicate your dietary needs clearly when eating out. Whether you have been diagnosed with histamine intolerance by a doctor or dietitian, this card helps ensure your meals are prepared without high-histamine ingredients.<\/p>\n
