**LOW FODMAP: drizzle it over fresh blueberries and raspberries instead.
***LOW SALICYLATE: use peeled Golden Delicious Apples and Pecan butter
2. Cassava Tortilla Rosemary Crackers
Cassava Tortillas are easy to make. And they freeze really well! I like to pull 1 or 2 out of the freezer. Then toast in a toaster oven until slightly crispy.
Once they are toasted, you can break them into crackers. I like to top them with a little salted grass-fed ghee and fresh rosemary.
**LOW FODMAPs: This would be lower FODMAP as well.
***LOWER SALICYLATES: Cassava flour hasn’t been tested for salicylates, but is thought to be very low. Experiment with a little first if you are salicylate intolerant.
3. Low Histamine Blueberry Muffins
Blueberry muffins were a childhood favorite of mine. I was so happy to create this recipe that I tolerate well.
They freeze really well. And you can jazz them up with ghee or even the macadamia nut butter above. I love this Vanilla Bean Ghee.
Macadamias, Pecans, and Pistachios are lower histamine. They are also medium oxalate in moderation.
Macadamias rarely have mold. But you want to get them fresh. Pecans and pistachios can be soaked in salt water for 12 hours and dried until crispy. Store nuts in the fridge.
I hope you enjoy these! What are your favorite low histamine snacks? You can post in the comments below. We’d love to hear from you!

Beth, thank you so much for adding the salicylate information! I have recently gone low oxalate and my salicylate reactions have skyrocketed. I truly appreciate that your food recommendations include low histamine, low oxalate and now some salicylate info too!! I would love to hear a podcast talking about the oxalate/salicylate pathway issues 😉

Hi. My friend have 14 months old baby with mastocytosis. Doctors have not explained what baby can eat or have. Could you help please. Thank you

Hi Zane,
Check out Beth’s food list here. These are whole foods, but I’m sure a number of them could be made into baby food with a blender. https://mastcell360.com/low-histamine-foods-list/
I hope this will help your friend and the baby. I wish you all the best!

I soaked pecans in salt water for 12 hours, then dried them. They were so salty I could barely eat them. I had to caramelize them in maple syrup in order to be able to use them. How can I avoid this?

You could try using less salt to your personal taste, or even eliminating the salt altogether would be fine.

Hi, I have successfully soaked nuts in the fridge using salt and draining and re-soaking 2 to 3 or more times a day for three days. The longer soak in the fridge helps to leech out other toxins. If I soak more than a day, the last day I soak with only water and this leeches out the salt for a less salty or no salt taste. If soaking only for a day, for the last soak, I will drain, rinse and refill with only water and soak for three hours stirring or shaking occasionally to lessen the salt taste. You will have to experiment to find what you like and what works for you. All the best!

I have been very sick for 2 weeks. Not sure if it is MCAS or Epstein Barr Virus. None of the doctors here believe in natural. We had 1 doctor that is natural but he does not take my insurance. So no one will test me for either of these. Not sure what to treat because not sure. I had mono in 1970, I was 17 years old but I am stumped which one. I can not shake this sickness.

Hi Delores, I’m sorry to hear you have been sick. You can read this article Beth wrote about What is MCAS? which might give you more insight into what you might be dealing with. In the article, there is also a symptoms survey which can provide some clues.
