Histamine Tracker
French toast
Combines eggs and dairy — two foods many people with histamine sensitivity also report reacting to — with bread.
French toast layers a few ingredients that are commonly flagged in histamine intolerance, even if none are dramatically high on their own.
-
Egg sensitivity — eggs are generally considered low in histamine, but many people with histamine intolerance report reactions to them; egg whites in particular are considered histamine liberators, meaning they may prompt the body to release its own stored histamine.
-
Dairy component — milk is also typically low in histamine, but many people with histamine intolerance report difficulty with dairy, and the combination with eggs may compound that.
Using a non-dairy milk alternative and freshly baked bread tends to be a more comfortable version for sensitive people.
