Strawberries and Histamine Intolerance: Safe to Eat or Not?

The unique interplay of these so-called secondary plant compounds is considered the basis for the fruit's antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties — and in human intervention studies, strawberries have been associated with beneficial effects on inflammatory markers, cardiovascular health, and cognitive function. ...This means they can prompt the body's own immune cells (such as mast cells) to release the histamine stored within them — without the involvement of IgE antibodies, as would be the case in true allergies. ...There is also discussion of an individually heightened sensitivity which then — possibly in combination with a reduced ability to break down ingested or released histamine in the body — leads to an intolerance reaction. ...With the help of our app, you can quickly find suitable types of fruit and, if needed, also check how well they are tolerated alongside other intolerances (such as fructose intolerance). ...

Even though dietary purines are not the main factor, it is possible to significantly lower the uric acid level in the blood through a low-purine diet. ...That’s why caution is advised with gout: while omega-3 fatty acids are generally beneficial to health, the omega-3-rich fish such as herring and mackerel contain particularly high amounts of purines. ...With the help of our OxiPur app, you can check the purine content of meat and fish types and ensure that you find a good compromise between protein content and purine content. ...In the OxiPur app, you’ll also find many other values—for example salt content, alcohol, or fructose—which must also be considered factors that can negatively affect uric acid levels in the blood. ...

Citric acid and histamine intolerance

Based on these individual cases, it was claimed that the symptoms may have been due to production-related residues from the organism Aspergillus niger in the artificially produced citric acid. ...Regardless of this, not only would a detrimental effect on health be limited to any faint mold residues in citric acid, but foods on which mold or its spores grow could also cause problems in the body. ...As intolerance reactions have also been observed to natural citric acid, which is not produced with the help of Aspergillus-based production organisms, there must be other mechanisms. Another hypothesis therefore assumes that in many irritable bowel syndrome patients, immune defense cells (e.g. mast cells or eosinophils) are overly activated and may be triggered by various organic acids, e.g. acetic or citric acid, salicylic acid or salicylates, or various anti-inflammatory painkillers (e.g. ibuprofen, diclofenac, ...). ...Nevertheless, it remains possible that some (few) histamine intolerance sufferers cannot consume citric acid, either due to mold residues from the production process or because of a sensitivity to certain organic acids.

The content of soluble oxalates – i.e. the portion that can be easily absorbed in the intestine – is far more important than the total oxalate content. ...Maintaining a low-oxalate diet is very difficult without guidance – it is easy to become bogged down in the finer details – and it should not be undertaken without first consulting a nutritionist. ...In addition, you will find information on all other important factors, such as the calcium, salt or fructose content of your food, so that you can assess what is suitable. ...We are delighted to finally provide our Android users with thoroughly researched and reliable info and data on the complex subject of low-oxalate diets, now just a tap of your smartphone away. ...

Rhubarb and oxalic acid: is there cause for concern?

However, rhubarb also contains an extremely high amount of oxalic acid, a compound that is unhealthy in high amounts and which can cause kidney stones. In this article we look at just how high the oxalate content of rhubarb is and how it can be reduced through proper preparation. ...If a meal contains significantly more oxalic acid than calcium, the body cannot make use of these minerals and may even be actively deprived of calcium (below you will find tips on how to counteract this effect). ...The crucial factor to watch out for is the content of soluble oxalates, because, unlike insoluble oxalates, these are efficiently absorbed and accumulate in the body (see figure 1). ...

How much added sugar is in my food?

Added or free sugars are nutritionally much more problematic than sugars that are embedded in a fiber matrix and released much more slowly in the digestive tract, as is the case with fruit or vegetables. ...The app knows the proportion of added sugars in all foods and the diary helps you track your daily intake and stick to the maximum recommended amount. ...
