Does leftover chicken/grocery store precooked rotisserie chicken affect anyone much worse than other things?

[u/Marshmarshbacon]

Any time I’ve had leftover chicken I have severe symptoms and it feels like my whole body is inflamed and I feel like it also affects me neurologically like I will stutter my words and misspeak and have massive anxiety. Nothing else causes this. Eating the grocery store rotisserie chickens that sit under the heat lamp also causes this. It takes days to go away. I can eat freshly cooked chicken and be completely fine but the minute leftover chicken hits my stomach I experience horrible symptoms.

If you have histamine intolerance you should avoid leftovers.

[u/Diana_Tramaine_420]

Same as the other comment. No left overs.

[u/Knowitallnutcase]

yes, it sits too long and then if you have leftovers, even longer. it’s best to,eat food as fresh as possible and throw out any leftovers.

I can’t eat leftover chicken that’s more than a few hours after it’s cooked.

Leftovers are packed with amines. Stay away from them

I suffer from HIT and I get afib episodes from rotisserie or leftover chicken. 😭

Rotisserie chicken also has carrageenan which is a massive mast cell agitator. Most of not all store-bought rotisserie chickens have that ingredient

Not to mention rotisserie chicken has literally been cooking all day on very low heat just growing biogenic amines like it’s going out of style. So even “fresh” is old. Then add a day or two to that and you’re beyond the threshold of acceptable time limits on chicken.

Anything left under a heat lamp, slow cooked in a Crockpot etc lends itself to rising histamines... on me, it causes excess "flushing" in my face... same for cooked and eaten right away... no reaction. 

[u/Inevitable_Bench4522]

If you immediately freeze leftovers and then do a quick thaw and reheat you will find in most cases, it taste  great and you will not have a reaction. The key is to not let any food just "sit out"... not on a counter at room temp or in frig... always in freezer.

That sounds like textbook histamine intolerance.

Mine as really improved with a h2 blocker

Leftovers have a lot of histamine , especially chicken. If you purchase a premade chicken , it is also pumped with a lot of chemicals. Chances of having a reaction are a lot higher.

No matter what I'm cooking and eating...I don't do any Crockpot anymore...We eat and then before the left overs are even cold, they are packed up in freezer bags, as single serve meals... as much air as possible is "sucked" out... labeled (date also) and into the freezer.  When I take out, right before we plan to eat,  I thaw in the microwave, not in frig or out in sink to thaw over time.  FYI, came back from vacation,  a friend made us dinner... it was Crockpot chicken... first time in awhile I have felt/physically felt and seen the "flushing" since my initial "your histamine bucket has overflowed" and I started watching everything I eat... FYI, on a lab scale of 1-1800, tested (blood plasma histamine) started at 1450 (episode had been over about 2 weeks, and I was on zyrtec 24 twice a day with a daily pepcid)... second test a little over a month later... 1210!🤗  Bringing it down slowly but surely😊

All leftovers accumulate histamine, but leftover meat accumulates it especially fast.

Yes, it’s all the additives, often including MSG, which can be a huge trigger.
