  • Elimination phase removes all potentially inflammatory foods
  • Focus on nutrient-dense foods: organ meats, bone broth, vegetables
  • Reintroduce foods one at a time after 30-90 days

Serving size, prep, and portion notes for orange juice

Orange juice is not high in histamine itself, but it is a histamine liberator, which is the citrus-and-hives connection people notice. It is also high in salicylates and, because juicing strips out the fruit fiber, high in fructose and FODMAPs. A single morning glass concentrates the sugar of several oranges into one fast hit.

Watch for

A histamine liberator, the reason citrus can cause hives or itching even though it is low in histamine itself / High in salicylates, a trigger if you react to aspirin or other salicylate-rich foods / High in fructose and FODMAPs, a common cause of bloating or loose stools, and harder on the gut than a whole orange because juicing removes the fiber / A concentrated sugar source that grades pro-inflammatory
