Foods that stimulate the release of histamine

Certain foods (even food that is low in histamine) can stimulate the release of histamine from mast cells (a type of immune cell). These foods include bananas, tomatoes, strawberries, pineapple, nuts, peanuts, shellfish, spinach, egg white and chocolate. Eating these foods can thus have an indirect effect on rosacea.

If you've found for years that tomatoes, bananas, strawberries etc cause your mouth to feel sore and you have the other symptoms in our Histamine blog post it maybe worth liaising with your Coeliac Dietitian or GP to discover how you can exclude histamines from ongoing problems.
