#histamines
Text
Welp. Doctor doesn’t want to use any of the mast cell stabilizing meds because of mood side effects (?) and there’s no where to go for a skin prick tests or anything further because I live in a rural shithole so that’s that.
Allergic reactions to everything and overdosing on antihistamines forever it seems. Gonna get married to the Hat Man and his million spider babies.

Oxalates in review: one year into a lower oxalate diet
It’s a year now since I went off on my big oxalate witch hunt, finally taking the need to reduce them out of my diet seriously after a couple of false starts; see my various other posts on this topic for more on that. For a long time (almost three years after first learning about them!) I really didn’t want to hear that reducing oxalates in my diet might be the answer to some of my prayers,…

The Gut Was Your First Brain & Regulates Every Aspect of Your Body
The gut is often called, “the second brain,” meanwhile the saying couldn’t be farther from the truth—the gut was actually your first brain & regulates every aspect of your body. This basic, foundational truth is one of the reasons why gut health is so important and why you should consider it far more seriously. Today we’re joined by the brilliant Spencer Feldman to discuss the importance of a balanced diet and its impact on microbiome health, histamine allergies and intolerance and whether they’re the cause of your mysterious symptoms, the adverse health effects of the COVID-19 vaccine and how it’s altered our DNA and various biological processes, the possible result of long-term carnivore or high-fat diets, cyclodextrins and probiotics, and detoxification in maintaining overall health and graceful aging.

Hey y'all! Do you have any advice about making smoothies? Like, what kinds of fruit and veggies go well together, what combos very much don't work, and especially if you have any advice on what frozen fruits or veggies work best. I am thinking about trying making smoothies but I know pretty much nothing about it lol
#the person behind the yarn#food mention#I don't even know where to start when it comes to making smoothies#except that I should avoid coconut (allergic) cucumber (possibly allergic) and bananas (sometimes allergic)#and that I should probably stick to frozen fruits and veggies as much as I can#because I have histamine issues#and while I tolerate some fruits very well#some fruits I do not#so this will be a bit of trial and error#but dang. I just really want to be eating more fruits and veggies before I end up with Yet Another Vitamin Deficiency#(my body processes several vitamins and minerals Very Wrong so I have to take...a lot of supplements)#(plus I am on medication to fix some of them that messes up other vitamins. it's a process)#and when it comes to ways to eat frozen fruits and veggies smoothies seem to be the best way#or maybe not best but most efficient?#I tried with non-frozen fruits and veggies but the produce in Tennessee goes bad SO QUICKLY#or at least so quickly compared to where I used to live#so...frozen! frozen fruits and veggies

random moment of curiosity. are there any fellow picky eaters who specifically avoid egg yolk but egg white is fine. i just realised i've never seen egg yolks mentioned in picky food lists
#for the longest time if someone made me fried egg they had to mix the yolk and the white#separate yolk bad. ive developed more of a taste for it now - i did exposure therapy through hotel breakfast buffet in my lunch breaks#i recently saw a post abt someone avoiding egg white and only eating yolk bc of histamine allergies#which is the opposite! very interesting

Cannot stop sneezing today and it feels sooo good. Mostly rapid-fire triples that tickle intensely when they build. It's a welcome change from the stubborn stuck sneezes that left me taking matters into my own hands yesterday 😮💨
#by that i mean fucking snarling and shoving a hair pin up my nose and getting the tickle out myself#idk if anyone else can relate but if I overheat at night i'm extra sneezy the next day#it either has something to do with dry air or dehydration increasing histamine production#nttalks

Food Options for People with Histamine and Salicylate Itolerances
Hi All,
My wife just found out that she has both histamine intolerance and salicylate intolerance. Within days of starting to take antihistamines and eating only very low histamine/salicylate foods, nearly every health problem she's had for the last 15 years (including vision problems, plantar fasciitis, severe GERD, severe brain fog (to the point where we thought she had early onset Alzheimer's), chronic fatigue, and joint pain) literally went away or got markedly better overnight.
The only thing is: If you're really strict on the low histamine and low salicylate diets, it really limits what you can eat. If you're gluten or lactose intolerant as well, that makes things even more difficult.
So I decided to put together some recipes that contain the lowest possible histamine and salicylate burdens. The "safest" list contains only the following: Bamboo shoots, cabbage, celery, iceberg lettuce, peeled white potato, millet, oats, rice, maple syrup, white sugar, distilled white vinegar, saffron, sea salt, canola oil, safflower oil, egg yolk, meat, fish, poultry- very fresh only, true fish only.
Marinade: Mince a stalk of celery, then combine that with a third of a cup white vinegar, a half teaspoon salt, and 2 tbsp maple syrup. Soak your meat or poultry in it before cooking to give it some flavor.
Salad (or anything) Dressing: Whisk together 2 raw egg yolks, 2 tbsp white vinegar, and 2 tbsp canola oil. Salt to taste.
Slaw: Shred a quarter of a cabbage, 3 stalks celery, and 1 can bamboo shoots. Toss in a dressing made from a third of a cup of white vinegar, a tbsp white sugar, and a third of a cup of canola or safflower oil.
Potato and Rice fritters: Cook a cup of white rice until it's soft. Peel and chop a medium potato into 1-in cubes, boil potato until soft, drain and mash. Mix rice and potato, add 2 egg yolks and salt to taste, form into patties, and fry in canola oil.
Potato and Celery Soup: Mince 5 stalks of celery and fry in a tbsp or two of canola oil. Add 4 cups chicken stock (make ahead by boiling a chicken carcass in water with a tbsp vinegar for 3 hours) and 2 large potatoes (peeled and cubed). Boil until the potatoes are soft. Mash the potatoes in the stock, add salt to taste, and serve.
Congee with Pickle: Soak bamboo shoots overnight (or a few hours) in a mixture of 1/3 cup vinegar, a teaspoon salt, and a tbsp sugar. Make a rice or millet soup by cooking grains in about double the water specified on the package. Mash the grain and flavor this soup with salt or sugar to taste. Fry a couple of egg yolks or some fish and place on top. Eat with your bamboo shoot pickle.
Millet Crispies: Pop millet by placing a small amount in a dry frying pan.
Oatmeal: Make oatmeal according to package instructions with salt to taste. Top with fried egg yolks, maple syrup, millet crispies, fried minced celery, slaw, or whatever meat options you have available.
Celery Boats: Shred a cup or so of cooked chicken and toss with salad dressing listed above. Fill stalks of celery with the mixture.
Beef and Cabbage Soup: Fry 3 stalks of minced celery in canola oil at the bottom of a pot. Cut up a half head of cabbage into ribbons and fry with the celery. Remove the celery and cabbage. Put a pound of beef stew meat cut into 1-in chunks (or ground meat of choice) in the pot and brown. Add the celery and cabbage back in, add 6 cups water or stock, and boil with salt to taste until at least the meat is cooked through, about 20 minutes.
Lettuce wraps: Brown a pound of ground chicken in a pan with 3 stalks minced celery, half a cup of chopped bamboo shoots, a tbsp of vinegar and salt to taste. When cooked through, carefully remove leaves of iceberg lettuce from a head. Fill with meat mixture and enjoy. Serve with rice.
Rice Pudding: Whisk together 4 egg yolks, a quarter cup maple syrup, 2 tbsp glutinous rice flour, a pinch of salt, and a scant cup of water. Add this to a pot with 1.5 cups COOKED rice. Stir on medium heat until the rice has absorbed most of the liquid but is still somewhat pour-able. Pour into a small casserole type dish and chill in the fridge to set.
Contains wheat, fresh dairy, onion, parsley:
Beef Stew: Cook 4 stalks minced celery and 1 minced medium onion in butter or ghee until soft. Add 1 lb beef stew meat cut into 1-in chunks and brown. Add 6 cups stock or water and salt and parsley to taste. Whisk together 1/2 cup water and 1/2 cup flour and add to mixture. Peel and cut 2 medium white potatoes and add to mixture. Bring to a low boil and simmer until meat and potato chunks are cooked through- about 20 minutes.
Flat breads: Combine 3/4 cup water and 1/4 cup butter, oil, or ghee with 2 cups flour (adjust amounts as needed to create a workable dough). Roll into flat rounds and cook on a dry skillet.
Mashed Potatoes with Onion: Peel and cut 4 large white potatoes into 1-in cubes. Place in a pot with water to cover. Boil for 20-30 minutes. While boiling, mince 1 large white onion and cook in butter, oil, or ghee until caramelized. Drain and mash potatoes. Add onion to potatoes along with a tbsp dried parsley and salt to taste and cream or milk to taste. Stir everything together.
Deep Fried Cheese Curds, Chicken Nuggets, Battered French Fries, or Onion rings: Combine 1 cup milk, 1 cup flour, 1 tbsp onion powder, 1tsp baking soda, and salt to taste. Bring 2-3 inches of canola oil or lard to frying temp. Dump 1lb of cheese curds, 1-in flattened chunks of chicken, sliced white potato, or sliced onion in batter, and spoon them into the frying oil. Fry until crispy and remove onto a plate lined with paper towels. See "Salad Dressing" in previous comment for something to dip in.
Maple Milk: Put a few tbsp maple syrup into a glass of warm or cold milk for a treat.
Cheesy Dessert Tacos: Make flatbreads listed above. Mix together 2 tbsp maple syrup with a half cup plain farmer's cheese or goat cheese. Spread on flat breads and fold like a taco.
Cheesy Dinner Tacos: Combine 2 tsp onion powder and 2 tsp dried parsley with a half cup plain farmer's or goat cheese. Spread on flatbreads. Add shredded cooked chicken and shredded cabbage. Fold like a taco.
Mapley "Crime" Brulee: Whisk together 6 egg yolks, 4 tbsp maple syrup, and 2.5 cups heavy whipping cream in a pot over low heat, whisking continuously until thick. Pour into ramekins, sprinkle with white sugar, bake until set, then broil until the tops are crispy.

Ok, so hear me out.
Vergil casually pretending to seriously read, headphones on, drinking his tea and looking so so serious... While internally pining for his beloved human what the hell is wrong with me I'm stronger than this petty thing called 'love'
youtube
I mean, the original version by Chris Isaak ALSO has some major Vergil vibes, but I have already accepted this man as a full fledged goth in my heart and nothing will make me believe he doesn't listen to goth music.
(The Chris Isaak version is when he's casually holding his beloved's hand and starting to slow dance ever so slightly as if he does that every single freaking day, his s/o just staring like 'are you ok? is this what demonic fever looks like...? do you need HELP?!')
Meeeeeeanwhile, Dante, in the other room, blasting out loud
youtube
Aaaaaand just dragging his s/o to dance with him in a very ridiculous way, knowing all the lyrics by heart and YES THIS MAN IS HERE FOR THE MEMES.
But really. Raspy vocals, distorted guitars, heavy sound. Apart from the memes, Dante would sing this with his very soul, in a very rock n' roll kind of way.
But what about Nero, I hear you ask.
Well...
Boy's frying in his room covering Kyrie's favourite song in his own way (distorted devil trigger vocals included)
youtube
Vergil can play the drums? Dante can play the guitar? Well, congrats. Nero can do both. At the same time even. What sort of power is this? His freaking devil trigger and too much time without going on a hunt to calm his nerves down, old man.
#devil may cry#dmc imagines#dmc nero#dmc dante#dmc vergil#dante sparda#vergil sparda#nero sparda#aaaaaw he's nero sparda!!! I almost never write that :3#but that's what I got for today#your pocket writer had a HUGE allergic reaction to the new meds#so here I am#taking lots of anti histamines#waiting for my body to stop overreacting#listening to a lot of music and making my playlists for my upcoming family roadtrip at the end of december#and BAM got hit with a lot of good metal/rock/goth covers today#had to share this with you guys ^^#Youtube

a few streets down from my house today ...
sometimes you see something that is so cliché but- this is just what living here is like
#the wildflowers are going GANGBUSTERS this year#i had to drive out on the west side yesterday and the highway berms are FULL of bluebonnets and indian paintbrush#it's wonderful#in other news i did yard work and got my raised bed mostly weeded (three foot high weeds and grass woo)#so possibly i may never be heard from again because history says#my back my allergies the delayed extreme histamine reaction to bug bites and the diabetes will ALL take this very poorly#they tell you not to over-exert but it's so easy to go just another little bit and i'll clear this corner etc etc#so now i've cleaned up i need to do laundry take proactive antihistamines aleve and magnesium and crash hard#work tomorrow may be uhh a challenge

i just thought that Loki or Thor having a fur allergy is kinda fun
Loki having a severe nut allergy when Asgard doesn’t really have that type of food and Thor getting severely sick for being near fur that hasn’t been magically curated (which has always been done for him on Asgard) is actually very fun

I think it’s really especially important to evaluate yourself for histamine intolerance/mast cell activation syndrome symptoms if you’re gearing your life toward wellness “detox” stuff because ingredients that may be good for the immune system / metabolism / etc etc for other people may easily be really bad for you.
For example I’ve been looking high and low for a simple ginger turmeric tea recipe because both of these suppress mast cells, and nearly every recipe has lemon or orange, cinnamon, cayenne etc which are all MASSIVE mast cell triggers. Just loaded the fuck down with histamines. As in literally whenever I consumed lemon or orange growing up my throat would close up slightly and feel clogged like it was hard to speak.
Strict, healthy diets are very very real for MCAS and they are explicitly not the pop “wellness” diet pushed by random bloggers on the internet. You can’t just throw any ingredients together and claim it’ll heal you because they’re “whole” and “natural”. Please look into these if you have digestive issues. It’s more common than you’d think and very, VERY lacking in general awareness.
