Cheese #19

Let's talk about histamine intolerance and cheese. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
I'm okay with some soft cheeses. But I went out last night and had a delicious curry with paneer in it. I discovered that isn't okay for me.

Feta is better, but it is listed as medium histamine on the food list on my site.

I've put particular care into the cheese area as this an area that lots of people ask about.

As a basic rule of thumb it seems the more aged the cheese the higher the levels of histamine.

So a blue veiny Stilton is absolutely off the chart, but a young mozzarella will tend to have much lower levels of histamine.

Feta is softish and many seem to tolerate it, and as always it might have to be something you test.⁣⁣⁣

Do bookmark the food list on the website. I've made it as simple as possible with an emoji traffic light system to create the most comprehensive, alphabetical histamine intolerance list. ⁣

* Red - high histamine = 😡
* Yellow - medium/debate = 🤔
* Green - foods generally low = ✅

So when you are out and about you can simply open this page and search for the food you aren't sure about. We've listed our sources on the site too. ⁣⁣⁣
