Egg white

Yolk is suitable

Unsuitable

This food is often poorly tolerated with histamine intolerance.

Egg white contains ovomucoids and lysozyme, which stimulate mast cells to release histamine. The yolk, on the other hand, does not release histamine and is suitable. Best boiled eggs in total - cooking partially reduces the release.

High-protein decay risk: For rapidly perishable high-protein foods, storage and repeated reheating can increase histamine load, and reheating does not destroy the histamine formed.

Liberator: May trigger histamine release from mast cells independently of its own histamine content. learn more
