Hey! In response to your recipes post, I was wondering if you had any recommendations for low histamine protein options. I have MCAS mostly controlled by meds and would like to do better about a low histamine diet. When I tried initially, I lost too much weight because I couldn’t get enough food, protein in particular, following the SIGHI diet list. Eating took so much coordination and I just didn’t have the time or energy. Any suggestions would be appreciated!

Assuming you are following this SIGHI list.

Before I go too far with this, if you are losing weight, you may want to consider aggressively focusing on fat. So if you can tolerate dairy, that means you want cream, sweet cream butter, or fresh cheese (like cream cheese) in every meal and snack. And I'm talking probably drinking cream or half-n-half as a beverage. Cheese and cream/half-n-half have a lot of protein in them too. If you are sensitive to additives, consider getting these directly from a dairy if that is possible for you. Whole milk also tends to have fewer additives and may be a more sustainable option.

If you can't tolerate dairy or the additives that come with it, canned whole-fat coconut milk may be a good replacement due to it's high calorie and fat content.

If you can't do coconut or dairy, consider finding an oil that you can tolerate and doing "oil shots" (drinking 15-30ml amounts of the oil as a snack several times per day). You'll need to combine this with a protein source (see below) to get the same benefit as above.

Pumpkin seeds (shelled), chia (freshly ground), and hemp seeds (hemp hearts) contain a lot of protein, fat, and calories. You can make up the rest of your protein needs here through whole grains like brown rice (if tolerated) and amaranth, millet, and oats (assuming these are tolerated).

If you can do meat, this is also a great option, though I know a lot of people avoiding histamine have trouble with store-bought meat due to handling concerns. If you can get meat frozen directly from a farm this is usually much better in the consistently-low histamine space.

TW CAL0R1ES!!!

I keep hearing how good chia seeds are!

here’s a chia seed pudding recipe!

when it comes to calories it really depends on brands ect. so depending on what you buy it WILL be different

1. Chia seeds (1/4 cup): Approximately

180 calories

2. Milk or plant milk (3/4 cup):

Approximately 60-90 calories (depending on the type of milk, e.g., whole milk vs. almond milk)

3. Honey or maple syrup (2 TBSP) :

Approximately 20 - 120 calories

(yes ik a huge cal difference but it’s bc of no sugar ones as-well! )

4. Vanilla extract (optional, 2 tsp):

Approximately 12 calories

5. Greek yogurt or thick coconut yogurt (1 cup) Approximately 100-150 calories (depending on the type of yogurt)

you also don’t need to have it as a pudding!! you can have just some water and lemon! but make sure to soak the chia seeds in water for at least 4 - 7 hours, dry chia seeds can and will clog your stomach!

here are the benefits!!

1. Rich in Nutrients: Chia seeds are full of essential nutrients, including fiber, protein, omega-3 acids, and various vitamins and minerals.

2. High in Fibre: They are an excellent source of dietary fiber, which can aid in digestion, promote feelings of fullness, and help regulate blood sugar levels. (meaning 💩 = flat stomach!!)

3. Omega-3 Acids: Chia seeds contain alpha-linolenic acid (ALA), a type of omega-3 acid that supports heart health and may reduce inflammation.

4. Antioxidants: They are rich in antioxidants, which can help protect the body from oxidative stress and reduce the risk of chronic diseases.

6. Weight Management: Due to their high fiber content, chia seeds can help with weight management by promoting satiety and reducing overall calorie intake.

7. Heart Health: The combination of fiber, omega-3 acids, and antioxidants can contribute to improved heart health by lowering cholesterol levels and reducing inflammation.

8. Blood Sugar Control: Chia seeds may help stabilize blood sugar levels, making them beneficial for people with diabetes or those looking to manage their blood sugar.

9. Hydration: When soaked in liquid, chia seeds expand and form a gel-like consistency, which can help maintain hydration levels.

10. Makes you fuller: eating chia seeds honestly makes me full for the ENTIRE DAY.

remember that you are loved! (¯ ³¯)♡

Protein Overnight Oats with Coconut Milk

[rosen-dovecote]

Made myself some Chia Pudding for breakfast for the next few days since I still had a little bit of mobility and wasn't in as much pain as I'd usually be. Had enough to fill up about 3 small Sour Cream tubs with it (couldn't find a 3rd Sour Cream tub so the last of it went in a Parmesan container instead, ha).

1 (14 oz or close) can Coconut Milk, 4 tbsp Honey, 5 tbsp Chia Seeds, 1 tsp Coconut Extract, 1 tsp Vanilla Extract, pinch of Salt, 1/2 tbsp Cinnamon, and 1/2 tbsp Cardamom.

Super excited to have Chia Pudding again. I've been craving it for ages, just kind of forgot I had the giant jar of Chia Seeds stashed away, ha.

ETA: yeah, it definitely didn't come out right. Too much Chia Seed, not enough liquid; the recipe I used is questionable. I think I may have fixed it by adding another cup to cup and a half of milk, though.

how to replace eggs in cooking and baking

There are three basic categories for replacing eggs in a recipe: eggs used for leavening, eggs used for binding and eggs used for moisture. Knowing the right reason for eggs in the recipe is the first step to mastering egg substitution.

 each of the following substitute one egg in a recipe:

 binding

 Eggs used for binding are found in recipes like burger patties and drop cookies. The egg is used to hold the mixture together, but the recipe doesn’t need to rise.

 -    ¼ cup (2 ounces) of soft tofu blended with the liquid ingredients of the recipe

-    1 small banana, mashed

-    ¼ cup applesauce

-   2 Tbsp. of corn-starch and 3 Tbsp. of water

-    ¼ cup of avocado, mashed.

-     2 Tbsp. of corn-starch mixed with 3 tablespoons water.

-     3 Tbsp. of peanut butter or other nut butter.

-     Aquafaba is probably the most versatile egg replacer and can be obtained from plain chickpea brine (or from several other legumes). It can be used in a variety of dishes such as baking, macarons, meringue, nougat, marshmallows, ice cream mousses and even cheese and butter.

-    A commercial egg replacer, eg. Ener-G Egg Replacer or The

Vegg.

 leavening

 Leavening is the act of fermentation of the dough, which causes a baked good to rise. Leavening is needed in recipes such as cakes, cookies, muffins and breads. A rule of thumb to determine whether the eggs are leavening agents: if the batch requires three or more eggs, the eggs are used for leavening.

 Leavening eggs are the most difficult egg replacement, but there are a few options.

 -    1 Tbsp. of ground flax seeds mixed with 3 Tbs. of hot water, set aside for 3 minutes to thicken. Add ¼ tsp. of baking powder for leavening. This recipe can also be used without the baking powder for recipes needing binding and moisture.

-    Mix 1 Tbsp. of apple cider vinegar, plus 1 tsp. of baking soda.

-    Mix 2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. of full fat coconut milk, plus 1 tsp. of baking powder.

-    Replace ¼ cup of carbonated water for each egg removed.

-    1 ½ Tbsp. of oil, 1 ½ Tbsp. of water and 1 tsp. of baking powder.

-     Aquafaba is probably the most versatile egg replacer and can be obtained from plain chickpea brine (or from several other legumes). It can be used in a variety of dishes such as baking, macarons, meringue, nougat, marshmallows, ice cream mousses and even cheese and butter.

 moisture

 Eggs needed for moisture are the easiest to replace. You can use just about any fruit or vegetable puree as long as the flavour meshes well with your dish.

 -    1 Tbsp. of ground chia seed mixed with 1/3 cup of water. Allow to stand for 15 minutes. As with flax seed, you can add ¼ tsp. of baking powder to allow for leavening.

-    Puree ¼ cup of cooked fruit. Options include apples, pears and prunes.

-    Puree ¼ cup of cooked vegetables. Use cooked or canned pumpkin, sweet potato or beets. Vegetable purees work best in dishes that will cover the flavour, like chocolate or spice cake.

-    ¼ cup of silken tofu.

-    Aquafaba is probably the most versatile egg replacer and can be obtained from plain chickpea brine (or from several other legumes). It can be used in a variety of dishes such as baking, macarons, meringue, nougat, marshmallows, ice cream mousses and even cheese and butter.

 commercial egg replacers

 -    ENER-G Egg Replacer – in baking.

-    The Vegg is a vegan liquid egg yolk replacer, suitable in any recipe that one would alternatively use egg yolk. Scrambles, baking, French toast and even lemon curd - it comes in the following varieties; Vegan Egg Yolk Mix, Vegan French Toast Mix, Vegan Egg Baking Mix, Vegan Vegg Scramble Mix.

-    Beyond Eggs is a binder and leavener and can be used in baking, mayonnaise & scrambles.

-    Orgran No Egg – Baking.

-    Besan Chick Pea Flour – scrambles, quiches, fritattas & in baking.

-    Vegan Egg scrambled egg substitute that can also be used for waffles and savoury dishes.

-    Bob's Red Mill Egg Replacer – used as a binding and leavening agent in baking.

-    Neat Egg – used as a binder in recipes.

-    Namaste Raw Goods Egg Replacer

-     Just Egg (previously known as Just Scramble. Tastes like scrambled eggs and is also suitable for omelettes.

drop the chia pudding recipe

2 Tbsp (20g) whole chia seeds

1/2 to 3/4 cup (120 to 180mL) milk of whatever type you like. I prefer a creamier, fattier one like full-fat coconut milk (the kind you cook with) or oat milk

1 Tbsp honey, maple syrup, agave nectar, or brown sugar (or to taste)

some people add like 1/4 tsp vanilla extract. you could also go with a dash of orange blossom water or rose water

pinch of salt

mix together in a bowl or mason jar and allow chia seeds to soak up moisture for an hour or so, or in the refrigerator overnight. top with fresh fruit, toasted slivered almonds, granola, whatever. you could experiment with different flavour combinations with the liquid & the toppings.
