Morrisons Cherries and Berries No Added Sugar Double Concentrate, 1.5L

Product Information

Some people may not be able to tolerate a few of these fruits due to oxalate, blood sugar, or salicylate issues, but there will likely be at least one low histamine fruit on this list that you can tolerate; I can almost guarantee that. Ingredients: Water 20%, Cherries and Berries Fruit Juice from Concentrate (Apple, Cherry, Raspberry, Strawberry), Add a damp old kitchen towel or cheesecloth to a large colander and the colander over a new casserole or big bowl. Pour the berry water in. Let this drip for at least one hour, do not help it as this will also make the cordial cloudy. As discussed in the high histamine foods list, most of the supposedly high histamine fruits are off-diet due to indirect histamine increases rather than directly containing histamine. In fruit much of this is due to the 'histamine liberator' effect, often discussed and rarely explained in the field of histamine intolerance.

So when they eat high-carb foods like fruits, this bacterial overgrowth foods on the sugars and produce histamine (known as SIBO). Yet even some unripe fruits are still considered high or moderate in histamine. Looking for a different flavour of squash to drink, I spotted the Lindhouse Cherries & Berries in Lidl. This is a double strength squash, which means you need half the water to make it into a cold drink. So I thought I’d give it a go.

The label’s full of information you’d not normally read, but it says some encouraging things: Concentrated, no added sugar, cherries and berries fruit drink with sweeteners. Contains naturally occurring sugars. Between 400-700 grams of sugar to every 1000 grams of berriesis usually a good bet. Less sugar for sweet fruit like apples and strawberries and more for tart ones. I realize not everyone has room for an extra appliance in their kitchen. You can however simply add them to a casserole directly. Make sure the berries are clean, remove vines (and pits for plums and cherries!). Although this idea of histamine liberators has since proliferated, no recent studies have been done to try to replicate these results. Yet from those studies alone, dozens of foods have been added to the SIGHI high histamine list, and many people continue to avoid them. butternut squash & apples Medium & High Histamine Fruits List Add washed berries to a blender or mash in a large bowl. You may need some water to help mash it. Pour over water and lemon juice (or citric acid/tartaric acid). Let this mixture sit overnight.

Source fresh, local fruits. It may sound obvious, but I don't mean the fruits from your local grocery store. Try to source all your fruits and vegetables from your local farmers when possible, to minimize the distance from farm to table (plus it supports the local community!). When Googling cordial, several meanings to the word show up. Excluding "warm and pleasant", but only thinking about the actual drinks, three kinds show up: Add the washed berries and water to a large casserole. Let it boil (covered with a lid) until the berries are pale and have released most of their juices. Make sure the berries don’t break, as this will make your cordial cloudy. It can be disheartening to buy a fruit you know you tolerate, and suddenly have a reaction. Could it be the pesticides used on the farm? Poor storage conditions? Oral allergy syndrome?In fact, I’d even categorize many of these as antihistamine fruits, meaning that they contain substances such as quercetin, which stabilizethe mast cells, those which release histamine throughout the body.
