This is a super versatile recipe for vegetable broth. Use it in soups, stews, sauces, and anywhere you want to add some liquid to a savory dish.
As I cook I try to save and freeze the peelings, vegetable ends, and slightly too-ripe parts of zucchini, carrots, celery, fennel, onions, garlic, asparagus, and fresh herbs like parsley, thyme, rosemary, and sage. Use any other tolerated vegetables you like, though use caution with veggies from the brassica family (cabbage, broccoli, kale, etc. ) which may impart a sour flavor to the broth. When you have accumulated about six cups of frozen veggies then it’s time to make stock! You can also use fresh veggies or a combination of frozen and fresh ones.

It cooks quickly so that you can avoid excess histamine building up in the food. You can use the “Soup/broth” function on the Instant Pot, which cooks for 40 minutes. If you don’t have an Instant Pot, you can also just use a stock pot on the stovetop.
Once the program finishes (or when your pot has cooked for 40 minutes on the stove), release the pressure manually, allow it to cool for a few minutes, and then strain your broth into glass containers for freezing. Leave an inch or so of headspace on each jar so that there will be room for expansion when the liquid freezes. By cooking the broth quickly and then freezing it right away you have the least amount of histamine buildup.
Many packaged foods, including stocks and broths, are high in histamine. This recipe uses a quick method of cooking the broth to reduce the change of increasing histamine levels in it. And then we recommend that you freeze portions immediately to further arrest histamine production.
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 diet click here!
One of the keys to understanding the causes of your pain is to look at the level of your bucket and knowing your symptom progression. It is helpful to keep track of the symptoms you are having and to evaluate whether they are escalating. Symptom escalation means that the level of your bucket is rising.
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.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a listening therapy based on Polyvagal Theory that helps heal nervous system regulation. Many people with MCAS have nervous system dysregulation stemming from infections, toxic exposures, concussions, and trauma. The SSP is an easy-to-use app where you listen to specially filtered 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!
