As you may have heard, I recently released the Anti-Detox, a new book of high nutrient antihistamine and anti-inflammatory rich all liquid recipes for those days when when I was feeling my histamine bucket gearing up to splurge all over the place.

This is a recipe I really wish had gone in there, but the wonderful chef Edward O’Neill (of The Naked Radish) and I just met out here in France, coming up with this recipe for a super healthy themed lunch, and hey, now you’re getting it for free!

And looking for the upside is pretty much what this blog has been about since its inception. “Condemned” to the weirdest diet I had ever heard of (and believe me, there have been some doozies, more on that in the Anti-Detox book) in 2010, I pretty much went to pieces when I realised I’d have to cut out all my favourite foods, but at the same time my type A, controlling personality breathed a massive sigh of relief at the thought there was a way to take charge of my insanely frightening health decline of the previous years.

And there really was. I’m so grateful that I was initially diagnosed with histamine intolerance and told the only treatment was diet, because once I got my mast cell activation diagnosis, you better believe those folks thought I was completely barking mad when I told them I was managing my symptoms through lifestyle changes alone (thank you very much) and that I had no intention of taking multiple meds so I may once again enjoy “real” food. The items under discussion: pizza, pasta, coca cola. It was my turn to look at them as if they’d lost the plot, telling them I no longer considered said items to be “food”.

Which brings me to the point of today’s post (other than sharing a delicious healing recipe with you of course!): gratitude.

I can honestly say that gratitude is something that had been missing from my vocabulary.

While I certainly knew many people far better off than me, I definitely led a very privileged life. The wheel of fortune spun fast and hard for my mother, causing many upheavals and instability, but there was never a shortage of shopping trips, tech gadgets and trips around the world when I was growing up. Flying around in private jets, beautiful boats, champagne and all that jazz were pretty much the norm. And yet, my mother and her friends often lamented my completely blasé attitude (direct quote heard many times) towards this bounty. Eventually unable to process why I couldn’t enjoy any of it, I escaped, cutting contact with all my friends and everything associated with my home town – running off to work 16-20 hour days as a journalist, grounded by the horror of “reality” around me.

But this entitled attitude followed me into my work life and more frighteningly into my health struggles. I believed that good health was my god given right and that I had every reason to scowl my way through life because I was shortchanged.

Pouting, crying, railing against my misfortune in not being able to enjoy the very things I had rejected decades before, I fed the toxicity I was sure I had left behind in my home town. But of course, in leaving home I still had not addressed the root of my malaise: my inability to give thanks and my gratitude to the universe, my mother and all my wonderful friends who scratched their heads in bewilderment the day I tossed them aside with as much ceremony as the kleenex I used to violently empty my inflamed sinus passages into.

So it’s time to reflect on what’s going into my gratitude diary tonight:

I am grateful for having found all you amazing people who have allowed me into your lives, inspiring me to continue my research and blogging, in addition to supporting my work so that I can actually feed myself while I do so!

I am grateful for having experienced extreme adversity in life, for me at least, it was a necessary part of the learning process.

I am grateful to this illness for having taught me how much I value being alive (there was a time I craved oblivion) and for forcing me to become the absolute healthiest I have been in my entire life.

I am grateful for all the wonderful people who have come into my life now that I am ready for them.

I am grateful to my (not so extended family) P&RS, for their tireless work in helping me understand that I am a human being of value who deserves to be treated as such, and for the latest addition to their brood, who I can’t wait to meet.

I am grateful to my mother, she did the absolute best she could and I’m very thankful it was more than enough to raise me as an (eventually) grounded person with an incredible toolkit that made me into a successful journalist.

I am grateful to HM for being my surrogate mom, best friend, cousin, confessional priest, who, even when I was at my absolute lowest in life, never made me feel like I was.

I am grateful to B for more than I can adequately express in words. I think I have tried in a couple of letters, but just in case I haven’t: thank you for providing me a haven of healing in the care of one of the most enlightened and inspiring beings I have known. I have learned more about myself from our talks in the last few weeks, than in a lifetime of searching for answers. I’m sure you’ll be getting more gratitude letters from me in the near future…

And I am of course very grateful to this healing soup and all others that have allowed me to regain control of my health.

Now, before we dive into the recipe du jour, I’d like you to make me a promise: you’ll get yourself a nifty little diary to keep at your bedside, and fill it with at least five things your grateful for, nightly. Why? Gratitude has been shown to lower inflammation, boost quality of life and increase happiness [1]. Not bad for something that can be practiced in as little as a few minutes a day, right?

I’m super duper excited to share that the Anti-Detox un-cook (e)book is available in my online store! 

This is a seven day collection of highly antihistamine and anti-inflammatory juices, smoothies, or a combination of both, which I have dubbed “jui-cies”, and delicious soups I have used to mediate histamine-induced inflammation. I can’t claim they’ll do the same for you, but at the very least, you’ll be getting a WHOPPING dose of nutrients that are known to bring down inflammation and stabilise mast cells (so they’ll hopefully stop dumping histamine and other inflammatory mediators into the body). 

There are times in life where we just need to kill the inflammation, be it histamine induced, or caused by any of the other inflammation spawning elements released from mast cells when the body is having a bit of a meltdown. I consider this book to be an inflammation busting cleanse, that just also happens to be low histamine as well.

Why liquid? Dr. Fuhrman (my nutritional hero) points out that liquids put less stress on the digestive tract as well as requiring less enzymes to be processed. It’s also what so many of you have written in to request!

Why is this the Anti-Detox? Because to me, what we put into the diet is FAR more important than whatever we take out of it. These recipes were created to nourish the body rather than simply deprive it of histamine intake.

The book serves up daily:

An antihistamine/mast cell stabilsing natural tea

x2 juices/smoothies/jui-cies

A super duper high nutrient soup

Information on why to cleanse, what toxic hunger is, a list of antihistamine, anti-inflammatory and mast cell stabilsing herbs and supplements, and whether water fasting is superior to juicing for beating histamine-induced inflammation.

As with the Anti-Cookbook, nothing in this book is here without purpose. Every single ingredient here is antihistamine and/or anti-inflammatory.

I’ve included lower oxalate options for the recipes. 

This book is not Paleo. 

As with all my recipes, please be aware that antihistamine and anti-inflammatory ingredients can still hurt us, so I respectfully ask that you show your doctor/medical practitioner/faith healer/shaman the book before trying any of the recipes.

The muffin muse is with me – I’ve come up with just under five different muffin recipes in the last two weeks. It’s challenging figuring out how to stuff something so inherently unhealthy full of nutrients, while keeping the fat content down. Or in my case, keep it up.

No, not for me of course, but rather for a friend I’m helping fatten up! I’m working on variations of these suitable for my purposes, ie not to gain a ton of freaking weight.

Because, while it’s true that I’m working out a minimum of five days a week: x3 days 1hr weight training & x2 days 30-45 mins cardio, plus walking up to three hours daily in 30C heat, I still want to watch my caloric intake. More on exercise in my next post – I’m just super excited at how little time it has taken to retrain my mast cells in that regard.

If you’ve been reading my blog for a while, you’ll know that my goal is to make high nutrient antihistamine and anti-inflammatory rich foods that will help the body heal, rather than simply eliminating the histamine that may be causing allergy-like symptoms including: flushing, rashes, hives, migraine, dizziness, coughing etc. In my case, eliminating histamine by embracing the “low histamine diet” meant I was still eating a bunch of crap rather than examining my diet objectively. I mean how was my body to heal if I was only feeding it boiled potatoes, lamb, beef, lettuce and rice? It just wasn’t is the honest answer.

It took just a year of a high nutrient antihistamine and anti-inflammatory rich diet to help me heal. I’m now on what I call a histamine-balanced diet, the upside of which is that my body gets all the cancer-fighting benefits of the higher histamine foods and my taste buds stay engaged, meaning I still have the will to nourish myself, unlike the years I spent fearing/hating food and starving myself towards an early grave.

What I mean by an antihistamine and anti-inflammatory diet: a high nutrient diet, similar to the anti-inflammaotry one successfully employed by thousands/hundreds of thousands of followers of Dr Fuhrman’s diet, but with the addition of quercetin, luteolin and rutin rich foods. These bioflavonoids have been proven to stabilise mast cells [1], thereby preventing histamine release in the body. I believe doing that ha allowed me to ingest more of the excellent health building higher histamine foods I so craved.

So here’s my healthy, antihistamine and anti-inflammatory rich muffin recipe…

Recipe substitutions

You can make these lovely muffins vegan by substituting the eggs with flax or chia eggs.

The sweetener situation is totally fluid, so if you prefer to use whole dates, please do go ahead. I would advise soaking them a little bit and then blending with the coconut and other liquid ingredients.

You can use any fruit instead of blueberries – I would advise something a little tart that also liquidises during baking.

You can replace the coconut butter with pureed apple.

The seeds are totally optional – I use them for an omega 3 fatty acid boost.

Feel free to leave out the ginger. In fact, leave out the ginger for the first go, then decide if you’d like some.

I made another batch of these today but I swapped out half of the tapioca for pea protein (helping to build muscle).

Nutritional highlights

Antihistamine ingredients: blueberries, ginger, flax seeds.

inflammatory ingredients: sorghum, duck eggs, coconut, dates, ginger, flax seeds, chia seeds.

It’s coming up on that time of year where my desire to spend all day in the kitchen pretty much flies out the window. It’s especially hard to justify it here in Spain, where I’ve decided to settle for a little while. It’s been a long, long year, full of highs like being quoted in The Times newspaper in the UK, mentioned in the Huffington Post by a dear friend, but also a number of tragedies like the loss of one of my closest friend’s brother, emergency hospitalisation scares (not mine) and the end of a relationship I poured my heart into, with a soul mate I was sure I would grow old with.

Rather than lose myself in an urban kitchen (where I have been known to drown my woes), I’m back in the town where I grew up, in the south of Spain, licking my wounds and slowly picking up the pieces. A number of you have been checking in on me, for which I am grateful. I hope you understand and I apologise for replying in blog form rather than personally by email, but I’ve been taking a vacation from my old life, while exploring the deep spirituality I pushed to the side almost the day I became a journalist. It’s hard to express gratitude to or interest in a divine force when you’re drowning in death and the misery of daily bombings.

Thankfully that’s all behind me.

Now in the care of another friend, I’m free to meditate, do yoga and explore the gorgeous tree lined avenues still frequented by señoritas on their way to the feria. Not much has changed since I left here over a decade ago; not much but me.

I’m slowly remembering that life isn’t full of pain, that friends are our greatest support network, the importance of spirituality in life and the joy found in pushing my body to its (admittedly still weak) limits, under the guidance of wonderful trainer who understands my acquired fragility of recent years. (I’ll be sharing more on how I’m re-building my body next week, as well as sharing tips on getting fit with histamine intolerance/mast cell activation disorder exclusively with my mailing list – don’t forget to sign up.)

And so today, rather than slave over a hot stove, I threw a seemingly random assortment of antihistamine and anti-inflammatory foods into a borrowed European version of my Vitamix (it’s called the Thermomix) and realised I’d come up with a super duper high nutrient white gazpacho.

I poured myself a cup and headed out to eat and then meditate in the shade of a pine tree. It’s been a windy day, so I  had to pick out some pine needles from the gazpacho, but really, there’s so much in my life to be thankful for and a little extra garnish never hurt anyone.

I’d really love it if you’d consider spending some time meditating today on what you’re grateful for. I know I’m very privileged to have you all in my life. Without you I don’t know that I’d have had the same burning desire to research and push the limits of diet and exercise on my healing journey.

I am grateful to you all. xo

I’m deeply indebted to PWS & RHS for your words of wisdom, endless patience and for being my family.

Thanks EKA for taking care of me, force feeding me when I’d given up on myself and reminding me that friendship is never ending. And for loaning me your Thermomix of course!

And to BD for inspiring me to reconnect with something (and someone) I thought I’d lost and showing me how much there is in life to be grateful for, each and every day. 

Enough of the fluff, here’s the recipe and nutritional breakdown:

White Gazpacho Antihistamine and anti-inflammatory nutrients

Don’t forget to check out more antihistamine and anti-inflammatory recipes in the anti-cookbook. 

Almonds: highly anti-inflammatory and high in beneficial nutrients like vitamin E and B vitamins like riboflavin [1].

Olive oil: highly anti-inflammatory, helps prevent osteoporosis [2].

Apple: rich in histamine lowering quercetin and inhibit the development of allergies [3].

Cauliflower: anti-inflammatory Vitamin K rich, lowers multiple inflammatory markers significantly [4].

Fennel: anti-inflammatory, antihistamine, analgesic and antioxidant [5].

Apple cider vinegar: is the lowest histamine of all vinegars (according to various histamine food lists on the internet). Made from apples which posses significant antihistamine and mast cell stabilising activity. I use it quite a bit.

Saffron: an H1 receptor antagonist (like claritin for example) [7].

Garlic: anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, now being investigated as IBS treatment. Also has some mast cell stabilising properties [8].

Cucumber: analgesic, antioxidant, prevents prostaglandin (inflammatory molecule) synthesis [9].

Carrot: I try and eat purple ones which possess even greater anti-inflammatory activity than the usual orange coloured [10].

White Gazpacho

Ingredients:

1/2 cup white almonds, soaked overnight
1 cups ice cold water
or
1/4 cup smooth white almond butter
1/2 cup ice cold water
1/2 cup olive oil
1 apple, peeled and chopped
1/4 cup cauliflower, chopped
4 tbsp chopped fennel (optional)
2-4 tbsp apple cider vingegar or lemon juice/tamarind paste
10 threads saffron
2 cloves garlic
handful chives, very finely chopped
white pepper
pinch of himalayan salt
optional
1 cucumber, finely chopped
1 carrot, finely chopped

Directions:

Blend together all the ingredients but the saffron, chives and white pepper.

Pour into individual bowls.

Garinsh with saffron, chives and white pepper, as well as cucumber and carrot if using.

Mmmmmm, two of my favourite hobbies came together in a very pleasing manner recently when I finally managed to get my butt into gear to get to Triyoga, one of Europe’s most highly regarded yoga studios here in London (where I’ve been living).

Ironic that I only managed to do it two weeks before leaving for what’s shaping up to be a very, very long absence from home, but hey, that’s the way the (gluten and dairy free, low histamine, anti-inflammatory) cookie crumbles.

Investing my remaining time in London taking full advantage of their introductory £20/$35 for two weeks of unlimited yoga offer, I spent my days class hopping, from vinyasa flow to yin to scaravelli, to you name it, often all in one day. Having re-discovered my appetite in recent years,  I naturally got hungry between classes. Luckily Triyoga in both Chelsea and Primrose Hill (and soon Soho) have excellent cafes that I’d likely take the trouble to visit even when not attending a class.

The ever changing menu definitely held my interest, and even though I’m no longer a fan of grains, one of my favourites turned out to be their Thai rice salad. So today, while chilling by the pool in the south of Spain (don’t hate me, I was typing away on the sun lounger!), I decided I needed to whip up a super duper pimped out version for myself.

CLICK HERE TO CREATE YOUR OWN PERSONALISED HEALING HISTAMINE PLAN. 

A quick trip to the place where the locals get their veg left me gasping for air as I fought for my share of juicy produce. Priced at least a quarter of the asking price at local supermarkets, it was populated by dozens of hot blooded shouty Andalusian’s unapologetically elbowing their way through the stalls. One woman actually seemed ready to get into a fight with me over beautifully constructed fire engine red pepper I snagged for the photos.

You may have noticed the cheeky serving of raspberries in the photo. Why would I include a food that’s listed as high histamine on most food lists? Have a read of this for an explanation of how I’m healing myself using a histamine-balanced approach rather than starving myself of nutrients and joy. In Lebanon (where my mom is from) we eat a bucket load of fresh fruit after meals – I am aware of the food combining “rules”, but those of you who read this blog regularly will know that I’m a bit of a rebel 😉 As for the lime, you can use lemon, or nothing at all. 

Nutritional benefits of this recipe:

Red pepper: anti-inflammatory, high in vitamin E (can be inflammatory to some – is a nightshade) [1]

Green peas: 1 cup provides nearly 100% of your RDA Vitamin C and nearly 50% inflammation fighting and bone building Vitamin K [2]

Onion: is one of the richest sources of histamine lowering quercetin [3]

Basil: as potent an anti-inflammatory as the pharmaceutical Diclofenac. Holy Basil meanwhile is as potent an antihistamine/H2 receptor antagonist as Zantac/ranitidine [4]

As for the rest:

Antihistamine: apple, ginger

Anti-inflammatory: carrot, coriander, chile, olive oil, sesame oil

You’ll find six pages of antihistamine and anti-inflammatory foods in the anti-cookbook…

Antihistamine & anti-inflammatory rich Thai rice salad 

Ingredients

1/2 cup rice (brown if not low oxalate), I used basmati

1/4 cup long grain wild rice (optional)

1 red pepper, finely chopped (optional – it’s a nightshade)

1 cup green peas (optional – appears on some lists as high histamine. You could also use lentils)

1 red onion (use shallots if low oxalate)

2 carrots, shredded

1 cup basil, finely chopped (or to taste)

1/2 cup coriander, finely chopped (or to taste)

1 small chile (optional), finely chopped

4 tbsp grated ginger (or to taste)

olive or sesame oil (or any tolerated), to taste

1/4 cup apple juice or 2-4 tbsp coconut nectar

1 lime, squeezed (optional – on some lists as a histamine liberator) or 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar with mother (the lowest histamine of all vinegars)

Directions

Combine the ginger, apple juice/coconut nectar, sesame oil, lime/vinegar and chile. Allow to sit in the fridge while you Cook the rice according to directions.

Once strained, combine the rice, red pepper (if using), green peas, onion, and dressing in a large bowl.

Garnish with extra lime or basil and serve.

Enjoy!
