Eggs & histamine FAQ
Are Eggs high in histamine?
Cooked eggs are low-histamine; raw egg white can be a liberator. Cooked whole eggs are low in histamine and generally well tolerated, making them a valuable protein on a restricted diet. The nuance is the raw egg white, which can act as a histamine liberator — so reactions to undercooked or raw white (think runny meringue or raw cookie dough) are more about the liberator effect than the yolk. Fully cooked eggs sidestep that issue.
Can I eat Eggs on a low-histamine diet?
Yes. Eggs are considered low-histamine and are generally well tolerated on a low-histamine diet, as long as they are fresh and not fermented or aged.
