RANT WARNING...Histamine Intolerance…
…is a real pain to live with. I really cannot eat anything much at the moment as I have given myself a real histamine overload eating the pizza yesterday.. It was such a simple pizza at that…
I am still feeling really bad .
I really dislike this condition as it appears to trigger my arthritis flares.
I am also fed up with well meaning people telling me I can eat something if I set...

One of the those days….
..When I ate all the wrong things..Went to Pizza Express and had a pizza margarita leggere with salad no dressing.. tomato, mozzarella and pizza base… scraped off some of the tomato but probably still too much for me .. Must have been a ton of yeast in the base as my mouth swelled, nose ran and ears were ringing.. I always think this time it will be ok.. Sigh!
I can feel my joints throbbing now...

Nicht Raunzen: fennel pasta →
nichtraunzen:
This was delicious! I used one fennel for the serving you see on the picture. Braise the fennel lightly for about 15 minutes in water. (Don’t pour the water away, it tastes excellent! I drank it later). Then put the fennel and the cooked whole grain pasta in a pot with a little olive oil for a…

The Biogenic Amine Woman: Penne al Limone →
biogenicaminewoman:
This is a super healthy (and low histamine) version of an Italian favourite. The basil in this recipes gives you approximately 120% of your daily Vitamin K needed (and some iron to boot!). I sometimes find pasta a little unsatisfying if I don’t add something green. Could simply be a visual thing…
Reblogged from my friend..just click on her link and Enjoy! The...

JOINT PAIN, JOINT PAIN, JOINT PAIN
I get this when I eat the wrong foods.. My arthritis flares are triggered by food. I must remember this when I eat and not later when in pain! Too late then!

The Sleeping Dragons zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
I just keep going now..If I go off the diet the symptoms start to return almost immediately so it just isn’t worth it to me…
It is as though there are things sleeping inside, my internal stalkers keeping me on the diet. Tread lightly not to wake them..
Histamine intolerance symptoms, arthritis pain, hypersensitivity, skin disorders, things without names, all just waiting to return….

Symptoms and Diagnosis
I am always being asked for a list of my symptoms. They come and go so I tend to forget (another symptom - short term memory is affected!)
Symptoms I have had:
headaches, muzzy head, brain fog, throat constriction, reflux, swollen lips, sore scalp, freezing painful fingers and toes, crippling joint pain especially over night or after drinking alcohol, sudden prickling pains in my knees and...
