Hi Sarah,
Unfortunately for some of us, spinach is high in vasoactive amines
(histamine / tyramine) and can therefore be problematic. Here's a
good list of these foods:
http://users.
That said, spinach is awfully good for you so if you can eat it
without it causing you to flush, go for it. I personally love it,
particularly served up southern style, boiled up with some bacon fat
and salted to an inch of its life. Yummm...
Unlike many others, antihistamines have always been a double edged
sword for me, helping in the short term, but seeming to cause
increased skin dryness and burning in the longer term, so I've only
used them in a huge pinch. But those who are lucky enough to be able
to use them may find that they help counteract the vasoactive effects
of these amine rich foods.
Anyway, spinach may not be all that problematic for you personally,
but it's definitely one of those to watch out for ill effects with...
Hang in there...
