To avoid problems such as constipation, heartburn and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), it's important to eat the right foods. Here's a tummy friendly diet to aim for. Fill up on fibre to prevent constipation It's a good idea to try to eat more fibre or roughage, as most people in the UK do not get enough. A diet rich in fibre can help digestion and prevent constipation. Aim for the recommended dietary intake of 30g of fibre a day. For a healthy bowel, you need fibre from a variety of sources, such as: wholemeal bread

brown rice

fruit and veg

beans

oats Some people find cereals and grains bring on bloating and irritable bowel syndrome. If that's the case, get your fibre from fruit and vegetables instead. Drink plenty of fluids to aid digestion It's important to keep drinking, especially water. It encourages the passage of waste through your digestive system and helps soften poo. Fibre acts like a sponge, absorbing water. Without fluid, the fibre cannot do its job and you'll get constipation. A good way to make sure you're getting enough fluids is to drink a glass of water with every meal. Avoid caffeine drinks as they can cause heartburn. Read about water, drinks and your health Cut down on fat for a healthy gut Fatty foods, such as chips, burgers and fried foods, are harder to digest and can cause stomach pain and heartburn. Cut back on greasy fried foods to ease your stomach's workload. Try to eat more lean meat and fish, drink skimmed or semi-skimmed milk, and grill rather than fry foods. Go easy on spice to avoid tummy troubles Many people love spicy food and it does not bother their digestive system. Others find their tummy is upset when they have spicy food. It's not just scorching hot foods like chillies that trigger heartburn. Milder but flavourful foods like garlic and onion can also bring it on. If spicy foods give you heartburn, stomach pain or diarrhoea, go easy on them in future. If you already have a problem like heartburn or an irritable bowel, avoid them completely. Beware gut symptom triggers Some people find particular foods cause them problems. Acidic foods, such as tomatoes, citrus fruits, salad dressings and fizzy drinks, can trigger heartburn, while wheat and onions may cause irritable bowel syndrome. And if you cannot digest lactose (lactose intolerance), the sugar in milk, you'll develop wind and diarrhoea after drinking milk or eating dairy products, including cream, cheese, yoghurt and chocolate. Try to stay away from foods and drinks that trigger your digestive symptoms. Keep a food diary to work out which foods cause your symptoms. Choose the right drinks to ease digestion Drinks with caffeine, such as coffee, colas, tea and some fizzy drinks, boost acid in the stomach, leading to heartburn in some people. Fizzy drinks in general tend to bloat the tummy, which can also lead to heartburn. To make digestive problems less likely, choose drinks that are not fizzy and do not contain caffeine, such as herbal teas, milk and plain water. If you cannot do without your coffee or tea, limit your intake to 1 or 2 cups a day.

Are eggs high histamine?

Eggs are likely suitable for a low histamine diet. Egg yolks are low histamine, and egg whites, while traditionally thought of as being histamine liberators, are likely friendly for a low histamine diet as well.

foodisgood.com - Is egg high in histamine? - Fig App

Just starting a Low Histamine diet?​

The Low Histamine diet helps reduce symptoms from conditions like Histamine Intolerance (HIT) and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). The diet is challenging to follow, as there are very few primary data sources available that accurately detail which ingredients are:

1.) High in histamine and other amines like tyramine

2.) Histamine liberators (ingredients that trigger release of the body's natural histamine)

3.) DAO blockers (ingredients that block DAO, the enzyme that breaks down histamine and other amines) We've done our best to provide accurate information on the histamine content of egg; however, we suggest working with a dietitian to navigate the diet and understand your individual needs. Keep in mind that multiple histamine food lists exist. Some of them are based on science, and some of them are based on patient experiences. Use these lists as a starting place for your own personalized list of food triggers. You know your body best! Check the Fig app for the latest ingredient annotations. Other helpful resources include SIGHI and Histamine Intolerance Awareness UK.
