This post outlines the sweeteners for MCAS when you are on a lower histamine, lower oxalate, lower salicylate, and Keto-friendly diet. If you love sweets then having sweet treats you can eat makes a special diet manageable. There are many new sweeteners on the market, but many of them are not well tolerated by those with histamine, oxalate, or salicylate issues. And if you are also trying to adhere to a low-FODMAP diet, that adds extra complexity to the situation. Here are the sweeteners that I have found tolerable — they aren’t necessarily secret, but you may not have considered them for cooking or baking!

The Magic of Anti-Histamine Foods
Have you heard of anti-histamine foods? When you have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome or MCAS, the key to success is to find the foods you can tolerate. Foods that are high in histamine should generally be avoided, but your individual constitution will determine what you can tolerate. Foods that are low in histamine are generally considered safe. And then there are foods that actually lower histamine or anti-histamine foods. When you include anti-histamine foods in your meals you can ameliorate some of the negative effects of eating higher histamine foods.
