I have literally never heard of this before… I’d appreciate some links from anyone that knows more because my google results give me nothing but multivitamin and supplement spam/listicles when I try to search anything even close to histamine and food, and it’s also not easy to pick out relevant academic sources when histamines are researched as part of food anaphylaxis so I’ve got a mountain of non-relevant material to sift through there.

If anyone has more information on this I’d be very interested to read it, because it’s landed firmly in the area of … sounds legitimate, but could also be modern “old wives tale” type of stuff where people just say it because it sounds scientific enough to be true and no one has ever researched it because it’s obviously wrong scientifically speaking but is addressed by unrelated fundamental knowledge in a scientific field Im not knowledgeable about such as industrial scale food science or something else.

So yeah would greatly appreciate anything more knowledgeable people on the topic can share, this little throw away line nerd sniped me.

I didn't post a link because I thought it would be easy to search for.

Anecdotally, I've had major digestive issues my entire life. It's particularly frustrating because foods that are supposed to be extremely healthy (low fodmap! gluten free! whole 30!) are still bad for me. Following the last list I posted has actually helped.

Although now that I think about it, the original poster's migraines could be caused by chemicals leaching out of the can liner.
