Oranges and bananas are out for me too, because of histamine intolerance, which correlates heavily with gut issues. Sharing to help others since I wish I had known sooner!

Got any suggested reads on this? I have annoying sporadic rhinitis flare ups and I've always suspected a link with food. Would love to see if there's a way to determine what foods may be an issue!

  Look up elimination diet. Helped me find out I too have a histamine intolerance. No avocados or spinach!

    What I did is the opposite of elimination. Just added more meat. I was not vegetarian or vegan, but I was not eating meat all the time, like I should.

  A generally recommended elimination diet is the FODMAP diet (originally out of studies by the Australian Monash University). It's primarily for IBS and identification of trigger foods, but the elimination and reintroduction steps may well help you with identifying your triggers. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/FODMAP https://www.monashfodmap.com/ https://www.monashfodmap.com/ They've also got a basic, but handy app. It's done me well over the years.

  Oh definitely. I did (and am still refining) a full elimination diet to get good clean data. I cut salicylates, amines (e.g histAMINE), and glutamates. Fedup.com.au is a clunky decades old resource, but the content is no-bs and so valuable. I have rhinitis flare ups too - I’m not sure I’ve pinpointed exactly what flares mine up, but I most suspect guar gum / xanthan gum. Either as a trigger, or just causing thickening of mucus, which spirals into blocked noses and sinus infection issues and further rhinitis. What really helps me is lymphatic drainage massage. There’s videos on YouTube showing you how to gently directionally massage the drainage channels to keep your sinuses clear.

I can eat them, but not on an empty stomach. If I eat meat first, I can have a moderate amount.
