Notes

*If you are following a low histamine diet, please note that not everyone tolerates canned coconut milk well. If this is the case, you may sub almond or hemp milk instead of the coconut milk. 
**White rice is usually tolerated by those on an anti-candida diet, but portion size matters. Try to avoid having more than half a cup.
***Avocados and sour cream are a high histamine food. Avoid these if you are on a low histamine diet.
