Antihistamine foods: Sweet Potato Gnocchi

The best thing about writing low histamine recipe cookbooks? I get to play with food all day…

I do enjoy the research, immensely, but there’s nothing like getting down and dirty with a big ol’ bowl of dough for the better part of the afternoon.

I don’t have any experience with making pasta from scratch, so I had a browse for gluten free gnocchi recipes online. I’m not done yet, but in the meantime you can find the original recipe on the Popular Paleo blog. My recipe isn’t paleo, but can be. It took her a couple of goes to get it right so I’m going to take my time on this one. The colours are amazing already though!

Sweet potato: high in histamine lowering rutin and quercetin. Significant anti inflammatory and anti ulcerogenic action.

Hi Ally, I came up with this before the whole oxalate thing, but to be honest, as with high nutrient higher histamine foods, I have no plans to completely eliminate all high oxalate foods. I just don’t think it’s healthy – moderation is key. I just keep the foods on a longer rotation and make sure I don’t overload on them in the same week.

Do you have a recipe book that contains only low oxalate and low histamine recipes? (As well as being gluten free)..

I am so confused. The diet fact sheet from Dr. Joneja says to eliminate potatoes and sweet potatoes.

Hi Ally, sorry, not yet, but I am working on it! The problem is that people will always say that it’s not low enough 🙂 Not sure which foods to include…

Where you say: “I mostly use their list, as created by allergy expert Dr. Janice Joneja, and featured on the Mastocytosis Society of Canada‘s website. ”

On that list is sweet potatoes…???
