Look for South Indian dishes like dosa or idli, which are typically lighter on spices and histamines. Avoid fermented foods like pickles and yogurt, common in Indian cuisine.
Avoid curries with high histamine ingredients like aged meats or fish. Stick to vegetarian options and ask the restaurant to hold certain spices if possible.
I'm histamine intolerant too! I usually go for tandoori chicken (request mild spices) and plain naan. Never had a problem this way!
Start with simple, mild dishes like plain rice, dal (lentil soup), or some steamed veggies without heavy spices. You could even try making these at home with controlled ingredients!
