Scrambled eggs
Egg whites are commonly reported as a histamine concern, and added dairy may compound that effect for some people.
Scrambled eggs are mild, but egg whites are worth knowing about for histamine sensitivity.
-
Egg white effect — egg whites are commonly reported as histamine liberators, meaning they may prompt the body to release stored histamine; some people find that egg-white-heavy preparations are harder to tolerate than whole egg dishes
-
Added dairy — milk or cream added during cooking is generally low in histamine, but many people with histamine sensitivity also report difficulty with dairy overall
Whole eggs scrambled with minimal dairy are typically better tolerated than egg-white-heavy versions.
