7. Foods to Avoid: Shellfish and Aged Cheeses
Shellfish, including clams, crab, shrimp, and lobster, not only have high levels of histamine but also act as histamine liberators by causing the body to release natural histamine into the bloodstream.
Aged cheeses (such as parmesan, gouda, cheddar, and Swiss cheese) all have high levels of histamine, while fresh cheeses (including mozzarella, mascarpone, and ricotta) are rated as safe for those with histamine sensitivity. Look for unfermented cheeses with minimal additives as low-histamine options.
