Histamine Tracker
Coconut milk
Plain coconut milk is generally low in histamine — most people with histamine sensitivity tolerate it well.
Coconut milk is made by pressing the flesh of fresh coconuts, with no fermentation involved in standard production.
-
No known histamine triggers — it doesn't contain significant histamine, isn't a known liberator, and doesn't appear to interfere with breakdown enzymes
-
Canned vs. carton — canned coconut milk often contains guar gum or stabilizers, which most people tolerate fine, but some brands add thickeners or preservatives worth checking for
Full-fat, additive-light versions tend to be the easiest to tolerate.
