Mineral water
Plain mineral water contains no histamine and nothing that triggers or blocks histamine processing — it's as neutral as it gets.
Water in any form has no histamine content and no known interaction with histamine pathways.
-
Still vs. sparkling — both are equally low-histamine; sparkling mineral water is simply carbonated water and doesn't introduce any histamine-related concerns
-
Mineral content — the naturally occurring minerals in mineral water (like magnesium or calcium) are not associated with histamine activity
It's one of the few truly universal options regardless of sensitivity level.
