Why protein may be low histamine. It’s not obvious at first glance, but whey is one of the two main proteins in dairy milk (the other being casein), meaning that it’s likely to cause you problems if you have issues with dairy. Along with gluten, dairy is one of the most common foods to cause stomach complaints in people of all ages, so it’s recommended that you avoid milk for the first couple weeks of a low histamine diet plan. Alternate sources of low histamine protein include brown rice protein and hemp seed protein.
