No, bananas are generally not recommended if you have hives, especially if you're following a low-histamine diet.
Here's why:
-
Histamine Content: Bananas, along with other fruits like citrus fruits, dried fruits, papayas, pineapples, and strawberries, are often listed as foods to avoid when trying to manage hives through diet because they can be high in histamine or trigger histamine release in the body.
-
Low-Histamine Diet: A low-histamine diet aims to reduce the intake of foods that are naturally high in histamine or that encourage the body to release histamine, potentially lessening the severity of hives.
Instead of bananas, consider exploring other dietary and lifestyle adjustments to manage your hives symptoms, and consult with a healthcare professional or registered dietitian for personalized guidance.
