If you have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome or Histamine Intolerance, you are probably always on the lookout for new Low Histamine Recipe ideas.

I’m really loving this Chicken Ginger Soup. I find it very satisfying and also gentle on my digestive tract.  It is low histamine. It’s also low in oxalates and lectins.

I created this recipe to work for people with FODMAP sensitivities too. FODMAPs are types of fiber that can cause gas, bloating, abdominal pain, and constipation or diarrhea. FODMAP sensitivities are common in people with SIBO (Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth).

SIBO is one of the common root triggers in both Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Histamine Intolerance. You can access my free report on the 7 Most Common Root Causes of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome and Histamine Intolerance here:

The most common FODMAPs are onion and garlic. Wheat, beans, and honey are all high in FODMAPs as well. If you feel bad after those foods, you may need to talk with a health care practitioner like me about your how to heal gut.

But not to worry, this recipe will work for many types of foods sensitivities. The ginger gives it a nice warm flavor. I like to jazz it up by adding some of my Homemade Pork Belly on top. This really gives it a Chinese spin.

This soup is chock full of histamine-lowering ingredients, like ginger, green onion tops, arugula, and rutabaga. If you don’t have FODMAP sensitivities, you can use the white part of the green onion. And you could also add some garlic to it. But if you do have FODMAP issues, leave the garlic and the rest of the green onion out.

To keep it low histamine, make sure to follow the Meat Handling Tips in this post for the meat. 

This is also a great healing soup if you have a cold or digestive trouble. Ginger has been shown in research to have significant anti-histamine and immune boosting properties.
