Here is my recipe for lower histamine chickpea salad three ways!
This recipe includes three variations: pickle, avocado, and cranberry. I include instructions for making all three variations as a full recipe or freezing the chickpeas in individual portions for making single-person recipes. I like to keep the chickpeas frozen in portions and make a different variation of chickpea salad for lunch.
The recipes for the pickle version and the avocado version are lower in oxalates and sulfur. Cranberries are moderately high in oxalates. I’ve included some optional add-ins that are higher in sulfur, like onions and celery.

Use organic dried chickpeas such as these.
I like this avocado mayonnaise because it is egg-free and is based on just avocado oil.
Here is the recipe for cranberry sauce, if you are making the cranberry variation.
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic condition that affects all organ systems. MCAS is serious and disabling and people with MCAS experience often significant and debilitating symptoms daily, including anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.MCAS is often found in combination with other chronic conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
Frequently healthcare providers do not know about MCAS, and the tests for MCAS are problematic because they are not uniformly reliable. MCAS can be difficult to manage. Treatments include blocking mast cell mediators with anti-histamines and mast cell stabilizers and avoiding triggers.
Check out this post on how to manage MCAS.
This recipe is lower in histamine and histamine-releasing foods, lower in oxalates, and free of nightshades, eggs, soy, dairy, grains, and gluten. Eating a diet lower in inflammatory foods can help to control histamine intolerance. To learn more about the lower histamine diet click here!

The bucket theory offers a helpful analogy for understanding symptom reactions with MCAS.
Think of your body as an empty bucket that you want to keep from overflowing. Different foods and activities fill your histamine bucket at different speeds but they combine to form the total level of histamine in your body (how full your bucket is). A fuller bucket means you have more histamine symptoms. When you manage triggers, reduce exposure to known triggers, and take medications and supplements to reduce histamine, you can manage the level of your bucket.
Knowing your symptom progression in a flare is the key to developing your rescue plan. In this post, I discuss how to determine your symptom progression. Once you know what typically happens in your symptom progression you can design a rescue plan to address those symptoms.
