Histamine free diet for mast cell activating syndromes

Question:

5/2/2017
In mast cell activating syndrome is there any benefit in trying histamine free diet or avoiding foods that release antihistamines?

Answer:

I found no literature recommending or commenting on a histamine free diet or avoidance of foods that release histamine in the treatment of mast cell activating syndromes. Our eosinophilic disorder specialist has no experience with this treatment.
