I can tell you what I'm trying

I'm doing an elimination/rotation diet of sorts, cutting down to 3 foods (with no preservatives/additives) initially...eating small amounts SLooowly and watching how I react. All foods make me flush so I watch for other things. Then when I have a stableish time I try adding a new food and see how it goes.

It's been really long, drawn own and a lot of cooking/grocery shopping but I feel safer knowing I'm assessing each food one at a time.  Problem is even the severity of my flushing with the same food changes day to day so it's quite unpredictable

I cut down to sweet potato and organic beef, but everyone is different as far as what's safe for them.

I tried to pick foods from the low histamine list.

I still flush with everything and the hope is that it is due to my generalized state of reactivity and will improve with time

it can be so confusing

hang in there and good luck

Hi Kupcake,

  I posted a link to the Low Histamine Diet where you posted before.  It might help you figure out some things that trigger you.

When I was having ear problems the Dr. I saw said to give up dairy. It got rid of  my ear issues. It might be worth a try for a week or two. Hope you are having some luck finding some of your triggers. Cindy

Try cutting out dairy, that was the source of my chronic ear and sinus infections and congestion. If I eat dairy now I start smelling smoke. Weird huh? I definitely start with no dairy.
