Food Compatibility List
Swiss Interest Group Histamine Intolerance (SIGHI)

Food Compatibility List
Sort order: alphabetic, with categories.
Compatibility list for diagnostic and therapeutic elimination diet at histaminosis (mast
cell activity syndrome MCAS, mastocytosis,
histamine intolerance), compiled from various sources and based on experience reports
Updated: 2016-04-01
The specifications apply only for the pure foods
with no additives! For example, it applies only for
pure natural cream, but not for cream with additives. Additives are sometimes also hidden in staple foods where you would not expect them.
Therefore, please always read the list of ingredients on the packaging.

Mechanisms affecting histamine metabolism
The list serves as a rough guide for the assessment of the histamine potential, i.e. for the dosedependent and partly individually different compatibility, which is influenced by various mechanisms. The reason for the incompatibility is specified in the list with the following letters:
H!:
Highly perishable, rapid formation of
histamine!
H:
High histamine content
A:
Other biogenic amines
L:
Liberators of mast cell mediators
(=histamine liberators)
B:
Blocker (=inhibitors) of diamine oxidase
or of other histamine degrading enzymes

sional consumption of small quantities is often tolerated
Incompatible, significant symptoms at usual intake
Very poorly tolerated, severe symptoms
No general statement possible
Insufficient or contradictory information
Not all foods are equally intolerable for all concerned, depending on the individual physical
causes of histaminosis. Some respond to liberators stronger than for histamine, and vice versa.
We recommend to strictly follow our compatibility list in the first 4-6 weeks. Then start to carefully try out in what quantities you tolerate these
“forbidden” foods regarding your individual sensitivity. This prevents you from unnecessary restrictions of your nutritional habits in the long
term.
How to assess the histamine potential of compound products
Generally, only basic food ingredients and additives are listed here. Rule of thumb to estimate the
histamine potential of complete meals or other
compound products and preparations: When all
ingredients are tolerated, and the product is not
microbially fermented or matured, then the product is safe – as long as it is in a very fresh state
and not perished. Otherwise, you either have to
consider it as incompatible or you have to try out
in what quantities you can tolerate it at your individual tolerance threshold.
Many products, such as wine, cheese, meat preparations, etc. can vary considerably in their histamine content depending on variety, manufacturer and batch.
The transition between "acceptable" and "incompatible" is fluently and dose-dependent in some
incompatibilities (histamine, lactose, fructose).
The severity varies individually and may also depend on the current daily condition. A sharp distinction between acceptable and incompatible
foods is not possible, but it is a matter of experience of the individual concerned.
The list is not exhaustive and contains some uncertainties. It is periodically adapted to our current state of knowledge. Therefore, please replace
this version regularly by the most recent version
on the website.
