Not suitable for vegetarians
I bought 4 low histamine cookbooks to see which was best for vegetarians. This one scores the worst - most main courses are meat based, and legumes aren't even mentioned in the “yes maybe no” lists. So I will be returning. There are fewer recipes overall compared to the other books too, although the photos are a nice touch. If you are a meat eater (and not sensitive to eggs which are sometimes on histamine lists) I think you might enjoy these recipes. If you are a vegetarian or are looking for a little more information about histamine intolerance/ a more comprehensive food list, you’ll probably prefer a different cookbook instead.

Looking promising
I'm looking forward to utilising the knowledge within this book. Having recently suffered an acute case of peritonitis at 41 and subsequently finding I have gallstones but have suffered from a plethora of symptoms for years which got diagnosed as fibromyalgia I am on a significant journey to overhaul my dietary requirements. When researching about diverticulitis and some of my other longterm symptoms I came across this book as highly recommended. I've already started implementing certain changes and feeling a huge difference. The book is well presented and appears to have plenty of information in a manageable and understandable format. The recipes look good. Fingers crossed.

Great book
Well written and organized book. The only one thing which confused me was that foreword was written by completly diffrent person who was not even credited on the cover. It took me some time to make a sense of that. However this book is definitely of increadible value and I would highly recommend!Thank you!

Some good info and some bogus ideas
I'm not sure what to think of this book. Some of the information that Dr. Campbell discusses seems accurate, but other information is contradictory to what I've read on the topic. Take eggs, for example. Eggs are a huge trigger for me and cause hives almost immediately after eating them. After testing negative for an egg allergy, my allergist suspected histamine intolerance and I was told to avoid egg whites (and many other foods). Other people who have studied histamine intolerance also recommend avoiding egg-based meals and egg whites. This author lists free range eggs as a low histamine food. You can imagine my disappointment when I discovered that most of the breakfast recipes include eggs or are egg-based.I was also turned off by her info on intestinal parasites. (She lists gut infections as a main cause of histamine intolerance with intestinal parasites being relatively common.) She states that many of her clients have cats, and you can easily get a parasite just by petting an infected animal. Really?? It's not so simple. She goes on to state that you can treat yourself for intestinal parasites with her Ulitmate Gut support supplement or you can "create an inhospitable environment for them" by eliminating sugar, dairy, and grains. Sorry. I've studied parasitology and this is far from being science based information.The book is laid out nicely and the tables and pictures are great. I just found some of the information to be a bit "out there," incorrect, and not medically based. I am also leary of authors (like this one) who direct readers to their own website to sell supplements. I think there is better information out there on the topic of histamine intolerance.
