Histamine in mustard: Not a good idea if you have histamine intolerance
Mustard itself has only a low histamine content, but it acts as a histamine liberator. The consumption of mustard releases the body’s own histamine and is therefore usually poorly tolerated by people with histamine intolerance.
- Basically, the following applies: Histamine intolerance affects everyone differently and mustard is not intolerable for everyone with histamine intolerance.
- For most of those affected, however, mustard, mustard seed powder, and mustard seeds are intolerable and lead to clear symptoms such as migraines or flatulence.
- Hot spices are generally considered histamine liberators, so you should also avoid Tabasco, chili, and hot peppers as far as possible.
