Conclusions
Histamine-lowering dietary strategies help some patients but should be time-limited and supervised.
Limitations
Low-quality primary studies; strong placebo and expectation effects.
Outcomes Measured
A subset of patients improve on histamine-restricted diets, but effects are inconsistent on rechallenge
