How To Try the Low-Histamine Diet

2. Foods to Eat: Produce

Fresh fruits such as apples, pears, bananas, pomegranates, and grapes are low in histamines. Fresh vegetables are full of important vitamins and nutrients that can help regulate natural histamine levels, but avoid spinach, eggplant, and tomatoes (pasta sauce and ketchup are also high in histamines).

Avoid consuming strawberries and citrus fruits, including oranges, lemons, limes, and pineapple. Avocados are also high in histamine and should be avoided or at least tested by reintroducing them slowly after eliminating them for several weeks.
