Low-Histamine Diets: Is the Exclusion of Foods Justified by Their Histamine Content?

A low-histamine diet is currently the most advised strategy to prevent the symptomatology of histamine intolerance. Conceptually, these diets should be founded on the exclusion of histamine-containing foods, although a certain disparity is found within the list of excluded foods in accordance with t...
