🍓 Raspberries are one of those foods that work well for some people and not for others. They’re higher in histamine, which means they can be a trigger for some, but I also find them well tolerated by others due to the low sugar content.
If raspberries don’t suit you, lower-histamine swaps like blueberries or cherries are often easier to tolerate.
✨ One low-histamine fruit that’s often forgotten is pomegranate. It has a lovely, sweet and tart flavour and can be used in breakfasts, baking, savoury meals, or desserts.
Pomegranate husk is also a selective anti-microbial! This shows us how what we eat matters.
The husk is bitter, but eating the fruit is also helpful as the fruit and unsweetened pressed juice increase IPA an anti-inflammatory compound made by some of the good gut bugs!
Finding alternatives you enjoy can make low-histamine eating feel far less restrictive and help you in ways you didn't realise.

Mast cells release histamine, which directly affects blood vessel regulation.
When histamine balance is disrupted, blood pressure and circulation can become unstable, leading to
• dizziness
• flushing
• palpitations
• fatigue

I asked this in my stories yesterday and got an even 33% for each one!
So which of these 3 is most implement to you?

If you saw the case I shared a couple of days ago and slid into my DMs — you’re not alone. 💛
So many of you said some version of:
“Okay… I have the plan. I have the test results. I know what to take / eat / change… but I can’t actually do it.”
And honestly? That makes perfect sense.
When you’ve had months (or years) of scary symptoms…
When supplements have made you worse in the past…
When your body feels unpredictable…
The idea of “just start this protocol” can feel like standing on the edge of a cliff.
This is exactly why I do nervous system work as well as gut work.
Because it’s not always a lack of information.
It’s often a hypersensitised stress response — a system that’s learned to brace for danger.
✨ Nervous system regulation tools help you:
• build courage (not force)
• create safety in your body
• feel more comfortable with discomfort if it shows up
• actually follow through with the steps that will help you heal
And sometimes?
You don’t even need the supplements.
Some people improve dramatically just by learning to regulate their system.
If you’re stuck right now — not because you don’t want to heal, but because your body doesn’t feel safe — I want you to hear this:
You’re not broken. You’re protected.
And we can work with that.
Comment BRAIN and I’ll share where to start with gentle regulation tools. 🤍

✨ Love hearing these kinds of results ✨
One of my clients shared this after starting the Happy Without Histamine 4-week meal plan 💛
“Before starting the Happy Without Histamine 4-week meal plan, I had heart palpitations, extreme PMS, headaches, and poor sleep. I am already sleeping better after using it for only a few days. I already feel calmer and have less anxiety. It is an easy-to-follow plan to reset the body.”

I say it because gut stuff gets brushed off way too easily.
James Van Der Beek passed away from colorectal cancer at 48.
He was diagnosed at 46.
And even though the thing that prompted him to get checked was “just” a change in bowel habits, it was already stage 3.
Changes in bowel habits.
A bit of blood you “weren’t sure about”.
A shift in your normal bowel movements you explain away because life is busy and you don’t want to be dramatic.
And sometimes, by the time someone gets checked, it’s already serious.
Colorectal cancer can be highly treatable when it’s caught early. So if something feels different in your body, don’t talk yourself out of getting it looked at.
If you’re having ongoing gut symptoms, ask your GP about testing like:
Faecal calprotectin (a marker of gut inflammation)
Faecal occult blood (a screening marker that can flag bleeding)
These results can help your doctor decide if you need further investigation with a gastroenterologist for things like Crohn’s, ulcerative colitis, or other causes that shouldn’t be ignored.
if we see these markers in testing we refer to get this checkered.
And if you’re over 50, please take screening seriously and stay up to date. It’s one of those boring adult things that can genuinely change outcomes.
For anyone thinking “okay but what can I actually do day to day” here are evidence-based ways to support gut health:
Limit ultra processed foods, especially ones with emulsifiers
Aim for more fibre from beans, legumes, whole grains, and vegetables
Get more colour in your meals across the week
Go easier on red and processed meats and choose more unsaturated fats like olive oil when you can
None of this is a guarantee.
It’s just solid, supportive basics for your gut.
And the biggest thing is still this:
If something changes, get checked.
Once you’ve ruled things out, you get to breathe again. If you have recently been checked, breathe, let that fear go.
Share this with someone who keeps putting off checking their gut symptoms.

✨ 'Some days are for doing less.' ✨
A gentle reminder that slowing down, resting, and taking the pressure off is sometimes exactly what your body and mind need 🌿
With a day off and some good rest, you are also able to perform better afterwards, rest creates space and capacity for more.

Hello! I'm Luanne a clinical nutritionist from Melbourne, Australia.
I have histamine intolerance, so I created this page to help others like myself.
Why so happy?
Well, I was miserable with hives, anaphylactic episodes, fatigue, brain fog, skin rash, chills, hot flushes, and digestive disorders and wondering what on earth was wrong with me when I had a lightbulb moment. Maybe it’s histamine!
The next day, I started myself on a low histamine diet. From my training I have some knowledge about the top 10 histamine containing foods and this helped a little bit. So I then delved deep into the research and created my own list. After a few weeks of eating this way I finally started to really feel better. I actually realised I felt happy for the first time in ages.
I tidied up my low histamine list and provided it free to everyone, so that they could have more information about what might be troubling them.
I then received a lot of questions asking me if I knew of any good resources or recipes books that might help. There were a few around but none that I felt covered the full range of foods that needed to be covered. So I created the Ultra Low Histamine meal plan and recipe book. It contains over 55 recipes and 4 weeks of meal plans with shopping lists and prep guides. This will make it so much easier for people to start the diet and not have as many pitfalls as I did.
If this sounds like you, check out the Happy Without Histamine plan and try it for yourself.
I hope you find some support here and if you have questions please send them over, or join the facebook group to get even more support!
