Just google post Covid long haul foods high in histamine and you will find soooooo much info about healthy foods to avoid

@diverdown1 There are several apps dealing in food allergies that include histamine intolerance. The basic theory is that there are things we eat/drink that have quantities of histamine and then there are things we eat/drink that cause histamine release. Alcohol is a histamine released because it affects our bodies ability to deal with histamine. Big subject and I use the app “intolerances” and Google and make notes in a drive to stay under 4 milligrams per day. And the punch line - histamine causes inflammation

Look it up, but I’ll get you started. They are foods called Nightshades and they include: tomatoes, chocolate, shellfish, aged cheeses, citrus, fermented foods, pineapple, strawberries, sauerkraut, eggplant, canned meat, eggs, fish, processed meats, spinage, vinegar, dried fruit, cashew nuts, cherries, alcohol, pickled and canned foods, cured meat, Avacado and I’ll stop there! I do eat some of these foods on occasion, especially the Avacado as I need good fats in my body. It’s been a real eye opener having this and it’s awful! I also lost my taste and smell with Covid in December of 2022, so for me, it’s been a living hell! Wishing you well!
