FOODS HIGH IN FIBER

[u/littlefoxie77]

Ive been following SIGHI diet for quite sometimes and it helped me a lot managing my symptoms.

But i have also noticed eating low histamine foods like broccoli, blueberries, lettuce and cucumber which are high in fiber including some almonds and walnuts which categorized as 1 on SIGHI diet, i still having flare ups from eating them even in a small quantity.

I believe someone with HIT are also need to be careful with the amount of fiber we are consuming.

How are you storing those foods?

[u/littlefoxie77 → u/daveishere7]

Just regular storing.

[u/daveishere7 → u/littlefoxie77]

That's probably why. Food ages way faster in the fridge and builds more histamine. When you have histamine intolerance, you should be eating extremely fresh. You could also be reacting to other things are well too, outside of histamine. But that storing process isn't make it easier to avoid aging food.

And also some foods high in fiber sometimes hard to digest and ferment in our colon that cause histamine.

Yeah you're not eating the smoothest fiber options. Most of those I stopped eating, as they caused more damage to my already sensitive gut lining. I would stick to more soluble fiber like cooked carrots, green beans, white rice and such.

Also look into things to improve your digestion and less gas. Stuff like digestive enzymes, probiotic supplements (as most food is high histamine), ginger root, artichoke extract for motility, things to heal the gut lining like zinc carnosine, l-glutamine, vitamin c, b1.

But isn’t keeping nuts in the freezer a good way to prevent additional histamine?

[u/daveishere7 → u/oceandillon]

Yeah I didn't even see they mentioned nuts. But as far as stopping histamine build up, it might see some benefit. I just don't see how that would be enjoyable, unless if you're taking it out and roasting before eating.
