This recipe sounds good but if you are sensitive to high histamine foods, this will trigger a flare for you. Avocado, spinach, almonds, lemon. Also hummus contains a lot of high histamine ingredients. I have to sub so many ingredients that I don’t think it’s one I want to try
I understand. Many people with IC are bothered by foods high in histamines due to histamine intolerance. However, not everyone with IC has issues with this so we try to provide recipes that offer plenty of options.
