O. M. G.!!!!! Did the fried rice have the usual soy sauce and eggs? I could be wrong but I thought soy sauce was high histamine. And, indeed, some spices are high histamine, too. And your chart showed eggs as an allergen.

Many websites will list high versus low histamine foods. You may already know this but, if not, you may want to check out the highly regarded SIGHI list. I've forgotten what that acronym stands for but it's Swiss something-or-other.

Me? I think you know me well enough to discern I'm not smug, not bragging. Soooooo deeply grateful for DAO enzyme, my diet being expanded to include everything and anything without mast cell reactions, gaining back the weight I lost. Yep, all due to DAO Enzyme. When I share with friends, family and strangers I help them remember by pointing upwards and saying Divine Authority Overhead. DAO! For me, a lifesaver! Perhaps literally.

You have got a serious problem. Alarming!

If you seek out DAO enzyme, it might not even be mentioned on the label. It's desiccated beef or pork kidney. There are many brands on Amazon.com. I opted for the Beef Kidney and take two capsules three times per day. I take them with meals but it wouldn't be a bad idea to take those capsules half an hour before each meal.

I am seriously concerned for you! Oh, have yet to check your allergen chart. Will do that next.

Just checked your chart to the best of my ability. Even enlarged the print was small but I thought I saw eggs as a problematic food. And, being part Chinese, I know many versions of fried rice include egg.

I tried the very restricted, low histamine diet but it was not 100% effective for me. Yes, I improved but had to keep seeing what new, supposedly-low-histamine item I was reacting to. Case in point? Chicken broth. Well, everyone knows bone broth is super healthy, a source of collagen. But... bone broth is high histamine. So, I had to switch to regular chicken broth when making my borrrrring chicken soup.

It's like walking a tight rope.
