Sensitivity notes
Why histamine food checker matters
Histamine is a compound naturally present in many foods, especially aged, fermented, or preserved items. In sensitive individuals, excess histamine can cause headaches, flushing, hives, digestive issues, and other symptoms. Your body normally breaks down histamine, but some people have reduced capacity to do so.
- Focus on fresh foods - histamine builds up as food ages
- Cook and eat meals fresh; avoid leftovers sitting more than 24 hours
- Be cautious with fermented foods, aged cheeses, and cured meats
- Consider that stress and hormones can affect your histamine tolerance
- Some antihistamines or DAO supplements may help (consult your doctor)

What to know about garlic aioli
Garlic aioli is mayonnaise loaded with raw garlic, and that garlic makes it very high in fructans, a FODMAP that commonly causes bloating and gas. Unlike plain mayonnaise, which is low FODMAP, aioli carries a real garlic load, so a dollop can trigger IBS symptoms. It is also egg and oil based, so it is not egg free and not vegan.
Watch for
- Very high in fructans from the raw garlic, a FODMAP that drives bloating, gas and cramping
- Poor for SIBO because that raw garlic ferments quickly in the gut
- Egg based, so it is off limits if egg is one of your triggers and it is not vegan
