‘Approximately 2 % of the population suffer from a severe form of histaminosis or reaction to other Biogenic Amines. 10% or more have some reaction to Biogenic Amines. These figures show that HIT and Biogenic Amine reaction is now a vastly more serious health problem than all food allergies put together!
Digestive problems, bloating, stomach pain, heartburn, acid reflux but also tension/cluster headaches, migraines, palpitation, low blood pressure, urticaria, eczema, hay fever and asthma can be signs of a histamine intolerance (HIT) or a problem with other Biogenic Amines (BA) like Tyramines (very much connected with Migraines and Cluster Headaches).’ http://www.histrelief.com/
Friends may know that I have the condition ‘Histamine Intolerance’ and am on a research trial with a clinic in London. In Germany, Japan and Australia the condition is well understood but here in the UK there is much less support.
I am working to produce ‘The Red Wine Headache Cookbook’ to make life a little easier and bring enjoyment back to food.
I adore food and have spent the last few years developing recipes that even my family will enjoy (trust me, they’re very fussy.) Before I became ill, I just didn’t know how to relax at the end of the day without a histamine-rich meal and a glass of red wine. Now, I’m learning how to do better.
I’m writing a recipe book full of inspiring and delicious meals. Imagine over 300 pages of alternative recipes for favourite meals including: Thai Green Curry, Pizzas, Lasagnes, Sausage & Mash, Burgers and Pies – plus ideas for breakfast, lunches, drinks and snacks, and also for special occasions such as barbeques, dinner parties and Christmas.
