Soy yogurt

Moderate histamine

Soy yogurt combines live fermentation cultures with soy — both are commonly reported as problematic for histamine-sensitive people.

Soy yogurt is made by fermenting soy milk with live bacterial cultures, which means it shares characteristics with both regular yogurt and soy products.

  • Live culture fermentation — the bacteria used to culture soy yogurt produce histamine as part of the fermentation process, similar to dairy yogurt

  • Soy base — soy is frequently reported as a trigger by people with histamine sensitivity, which may add to the overall effect for some people

Coconut yogurt is one alternative some people find easier to tolerate, though individual responses vary.
