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!

Thank you so much. This chain of comments has been so helpful. I have yet to find an MD who would talk with me about inflammatory diseases and high-histamine foods !
Unsure whether you are merely writing ambiguously, so perhaps you meant that list of foods to be those that are "histamine-producing" (certainly that would vary amongst individuals, in any case), as opposed to all being nightshades.
But not all those foods are nightshades, which is a specific botanical category!
As a sometime chocolatier, I know that the cacao tree certainly doesn't fall within that classification
You might want to re-write that to elucidate things (alcohol, canned foods, processed meat?!)
Sorry for a relatively late response to this.

SH*T!! I will look this up. Some of those foods are mainstays, but if it is causing the PEM/Fatigue, I will have to change my diet. I am tired of waking up feeling like I survived some catastrophic event. Thanks everyone. Hang in there.
