   <p>Idk what foods ate high histamine, but I do get allergic reactions to certain foods. Some also lead to migraine flares. Some do not.</p>

      <p>Hey, glassmind! Out of curiosity I did some searching and found this organization based out of the UK. Might be worth doing some experimenting with the foods on their list!</p> <p><a href='https://www.histamineintolerance.org.uk/about/the-food-diary/the-food-list/' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>https://www.histamineintolerance.org.uk/about/the-food-diary/the-food-list/</a></p> <p>Hope this is useful. -Melissa, <a href='http://migraine.com' target='_blank' rel='noopener noreferrer ugc'>migraine.com</a> team</p>

   <p>BIG time relationship between histamine foods and migraine. Same for foods w tannins and Tyramine. There are good websites that list migraine diets that help you stay away from histamine and Tyramine foods. They both KILL my head.</p>

   <p>I'll be darned, yes. I notice sometimes I will eat a meal and shortly after be flushed or even diaphoretic. My upper back will have hives or similar raised itchy areas. I have noticed my upper back/ shoulder area is scratched which indicates I am scratching my back in my sleep. perhaps scratching hives due to histamine reaction. <br> <br> My head is in my hands now, as in, no, please, not one more thing.</p>

   <p>Yes, this happens to me more increasingly recently. I had an anaphylactic reaction to antibiotics recently and I wondered if it was related. When this happened my face and hands were burning before I struggled to breathe. <br> I too did an elimination diet about 10 years ago, and now I realise I have slipped off that wagon since COVID hit and must return to my cleaner and better eating. I need to figure out if Its a histamine response for me.</p>
