Hi, for potatoes, you might see if Russet potatoes cause a problem, vs "waxy" like Reds, Yukon, etc. I have more problems with Russet. I seem to be fine with Reds.

I totally understand the medication resistance. I got a herniated disc a few years back (extreme pain) and got off the heavy meds as soon as I could. Now I just take otc as needed (when I've overdone it). The Cetirizine is only 10 mg.

So, here is a website that explains well. Just ignore the sales pitch! It's a place to start. https://www.amymyersmd.com/article/histamine-intolerance

Here's another with a diet start..just a place to see what jibes with your own experience. https://www.cleaneatingkitchen.com/getting-started-low-histamine-diet/

There are a lot of sites with food lists, but it really is best to trust your body over the lists.

For myself, I've found I need to avoid certain foods altogether. Some I can eat if they're well cooked. Leftovers can cause problems as well. I did find that quite a few of the listed foods were one I already didn't care for. Natural resistance perhaps?

My sister has exercise induced asthma, so I understand it can be a struggle. Maybe swimming, light walking, gardening, stretching, etc? There are videos for light stretches and walks. I'm sure youtube or Rumble would have light exercise guides.

I know you'll come through the other side! Have patience with yourself. Hugs!
