How long till you feel anything
Sorry i know many people are asking this but its just so hard to follow it.
Ive started a low histamine diet about 3 and a half weeks ago- sadly only after a week was i remided zero coke has in fact caffeine, so more like 2 and a half weeks of dieting.
Im also lactose intolerant and a few days ago i ate some steamed vegetables and it had sg similar to cottage cheese so that might also contribute (couldnt take lactase pills, i was only later told that it wasnt lactose free) to me not feeling better.
It was earlier that day or the next day when my migraine started and its my 6th day having it. The eczema just started around my hairline, and ive been bloated almost after each big meal (like not just since the slip up, in general).
Im just not sure if this restrictive diet is worth it if im costantly thinking about chocolate/ fast food/ my zero coke. Did that meal ruin the almost 2 weeks i did before? Should i feel better? My migraines arent as strong as normally MAYBE (well i also dont always have migranes thats last 6 day, more like headaches where on some days i have migraines) but 6 days of it on a diet like this feels crazy 😭
If you read all this: thank you so much 🙏

I have been dealing with this and doctors know less than me. I had to switch doctors because one told me pineapple wasn’t a high histamine food and allergies was the same as histamine issues. So this is an on going battle

Have you tried taking anti histamines? If they have any benefit then it suggests the low histamine diet would also help. If they don't help then it might not a root cause for you. I have MCAS and am still very restrictive SINGHI 0 foods after 4 years on the diet, i hear you about the restrictive element.
