What to know about blue cheese dressing
Blue cheese dressing pairs one of the highest-histamine cheeses with a buttermilk-and-mayo base, so it keeps the blue cheese triggers and adds a few of its own. It is high in histamine (grade D) and high in dairy protein (grade D) from the cheese and buttermilk, with moderate tyramine, salicylates and FODMAPs from the additives and stabilizers. If a wedge of blue cheese sets you off, the dressing usually will too, and the creamy base can make the dairy load worse.
Watch for
- High in histamine from the aged blue cheese, a frequent trigger for flushing, headache or a stuffy nose
- High in dairy protein from the cheese, buttermilk and mayonnaise, so it is a problem for casein or whey sensitivity
- Moderate tyramine and sulfites, worth watching if you are migraine-prone or taking an MAOI
- The buttermilk and mayo base adds moderate lactose and FODMAPs on top of the cheese
