**GF/DF/LOW HISTAMINE (I followed mastcell360 low histamine foods list very strictly initially, then added some foods from the SIGHI list as I began to tolerate more foods, all under the care of a dietitian. A low histamine diet is restrictive and not meant to be followed long-term, as nutrient deficiencies may develop).**
**Maple syrup and shredded coconut are two foods I added from the SIGHI list once I was stable. Both are rated a “0” on SIGHI.**
