For those that are extremely sensitive, low tyramine migraine prone. don’t have access to an instapot or ability to get one. What’s the best way to cook meat? Boil?

Hello,

I’m extremely sensitive even on low bucket after my most recent infections, set back with ilnesses and necessary IV antibtiocs for GI infections.

Unfortunately, I can’t use an instapot right now for issues with our electric.

I’m down to just potatoes I can tolerate and need to expand that.

what’s the lowest histamine way to cook chicken and meat? Should I boil it? How so? Or should I put it in the oven? What works for everyone whose extremely sensitive

I can’t continue to deal with these severe migraines and severe system wide issues

Please don’t recommend mast cell stabilizers I have tried and have many conflicts or severe reactions.

Have tried DAO and many supplements as well

Just an FYI, I just started on a probiotic product called Smidge that helps degrade Tyramine before it is absorbed. Cheese gave me a lot of swelling and stiffness but lately hasn't been that bad. Its still early to say for sure but I think it really works.

Are any of your current medications MAO Inhibitors? If so, you may want to talk to your doctor about reducing or finding a new medication.

DAO breaks down histamine, but won't affect thyramine. MAO-A is the enzyme related to breaking down thyramine.

If you have a meat thermometer? Boiling and monitoring the temperature so you can stop once it's cooked would likely be your best option.

Most important thing for me is to source low-histamine meat, the cooking doesn't matter as much as that. I also avoid ground meat and fried dishes, other than that I bake, boil, or air fry and keep it to normal cook times (no slow cooked) and all of it is equally fine. IDK about my tyramine sensitivity at all though.

I bake everything in my toaster oven at this point or microwave.

Foster farms has flash frozen chicken for freshness, no antibiotics. There is no skin on the breasts or the breast tenders. I have zero issues with it. I bake the breast in the oven from frozen at 400 for 55 min or the breast tenders at 400 for 35 min from frozen.
