lower histamine latkes
I developed this recipe for lower histamine latkes in my quest to find delicious lower histamine Keto diet-friendly replacements for one of our family favorites, Jewish Hannukah potato pancakes.

Last year before I switched to a Keto diet I made latkes with fried mashed yucca root. They were amazing! But I learned once I went Keto that the carbs and starch in yucca caused me to have increased inflammation and therefore more pain. As much as I love yucca in all its forms — cassava flour baked goods, tapioca starch thickened sauces, fried yucca, mashed yucca, etc. — I realized it doesn’t love me.
So this year I present to you a zucchini-based lower histamine Keto friendly latke! Enjoy!
This recipe is low in carbs, higher in fat, protein, and fiber, while still being lower in histamine and histamine-releasing foods, lower in oxalates, and free of nightshades, grains, and gluten. Eating a diet lower in carbs and inflammatory foods can help to control histamine intolerance. To learn more about the lower histamine Keto 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 symptom flare is the key to developing your own rescue plan. In this post, I discuss how to determine your own symptom progression. Once you know what typically happens in your symptom progression you can design a rescue plan to address those symptoms.

We make latkes for Hannukah and often serve them with roast chicken or beef brisket. Brisket is out for me because f the inherently higher histamine in beef. So I am going to have my Lower Histamine Latkes with some roast chicken thighs.
We usually serve our latkes garnished with applesauce and sour cream. Applesauce is a lower histamine food, though it is high in carbs. Sour cream is very high in histamine. So, to keep it Keto-friendly, I am going to have a taste of applesauce (like 1 teaspoon) along with my latkes to evoke the spirit of the holiday, and so I feel I’m not being deprived.
Since this is a savory latke recipe I could see the addition of some fresh herbs like dill or cilantro might be tasty!
Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, but if you have histamine intolerance or MCAS then freeze leftovers right away. Freeze for up to 3 months.
The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a listening therapy based on Polyvagal Theory created by Stephen Porges to unlock your ability to think, feel, and connect better through nervous system regulation. You use the SSP via an app on your phone and listen with over-the-ear headphones to specially filtered music that heals the nervous system, specifically the vagus nerve. You subscribe to the app with a provider like me and listen to the specially curated music for 30 minutes each day for a 5-hour cycle. Studies show the SSP has a profound effect on mental health and chronic conditions
You can sign up for the SSP here!
