    Hello @Bernadette_Abraham  and @Daniel  , wanted to ask if you’d recommend Bovine collagen peptides protein powder for someone with histamine intolerance as I’m transitioning from being a vegan to non-vegan. Also I’ve come across a collagen gel for internal use . I’d appreciate your view on both . Thank you .

    @nikolovaart  it may or may not make histamine intolerance symptoms worse. This is a situation where it really depends on the individual and all the factors that lead to histamine overload.

    And there’s no way of knowing if a particular collagen product (gel or powder) is high in histamine since collagen makers don’t test their products for histamine or other amines.

    The best way forward is to do a trial for 5 days (or less if you experience symptoms), and notice if any of your symptoms worsen within 10 days (keeping in mind that symptoms can vary wildly and be blamed on something else!). Keeping a food journal for 10 days can help with this (scroll down to bottom of page to download the food journal).

    Let us know what you decide to do, and whether or not you tolerated it well.

    Hope this helps.
