Low histamine tzatziki

Yoghurt is a tricky ingredient for those with mast cell disorders; tolerance to the different ingredients and bacteria strains will vary wildly among us. I am fortunate that I have stabilised to the point that I now have a yoghurt I can eat safely, in moderate amounts and on a daily basis. There is no guarantee that the brand I eat (pictured below) will work for everybody. If cow's milk is still a problem, yoghurt will likely not be an option just yet.

LOW HISTAMINE TZATZIKI
100g natural yoghurt
4 large fresh mint leaves, finely sliced
1/4 cucumber, sliced finely and chopped

1. Combine all ingredients in a bowl. 
2. Enjoy immediately as a topping on salad or freshly cooked meat or as a spread on toast or in a wrap ❤️ 

Ingredient information (based on advice by SIGHI)
- Yoghurt is rated 1 and the bacteria strains vary. Test for tolerance carefully and with caution. Recommended for those who are slightly more stable. 
- Mint is rated 0 but is incompatible for those with salicylate intolerance
- Cucumber is rated 0

0 - Well tolerated, no symptoms expected at usual intake 
1 - Minor symptoms, occasional consumption of small quantities is often tolerated 
2 - Incompatible, significant symptoms at usual intake 
3 - Very poorly tolerated, severe symptoms

Hot tips!
🔥 Mix through a finely chopped salad. Include diced meat for added flavour

This is the yoghurt I am able to tolerate now that I am
somewhat stabilised. Tolerance for different yoghurts and bacteria
 strains will vary significantly amongst those with mast cell disorders.
