Need help coming up with some recipes

[Guest guest]

I'm beginning to strongly suspect that I am histadelic (have

chronically high histamine levels) and am looking into testing. In

the mean time I'd like to try eliminating foods that naturally

contain histadine/histamine. My brain is pretty foggy right now,

so I'm looking for some help coming up with a few recipes that I can

use that are SCD compliant and also eliminate those foods on the

histamine/histadine list. This may be hard because the recommended

diet for histadelia is low protein high complex carb, which won't

work for SCD.

Anyway, here's the list of histmamine/histadine containing foods (or

many of them anyway):

fish

red meats (I'm assuming grain fed only, as they would build up a lot

of histamine from eating the corn that they eat; grass fed shouldn't

have that kind of inflammation)

most meats to some degree

dried legumes (I think)

all nuts (not sure about cashews, gotta look that up)

cheese

yogurt

eggplant

tomatoes

spinach

drk leafy greens

anything fermented

dried fruits

(left overs with the above have higher levels than the original

unless frozen (bacterial process converting the histadine to

histamine))

I know I can't cut out all the meat, nor do I think it's healthy to,

but I need to greatly cut back the amount I eat and concentrate more

on the veggies and fruits that don't fit the above list, and when I

do use meat, use mostly chicken and grass-fed beef.

I may have a couple more to add to the list as I find them.

I'm bummed too, as I love pretty much all on the list, especially the

yogurt. I felt really great, no awesome, on the yogurt for a few

days, but then started feeling crappy again, and knew it wasn't die

off....joint pain, colon pain, increasing obsessiveness).

Thank you all so much!
