    Methodology

    Review of dietary strategies, including histamine-restricted and pseudoallergen-free diets, for chronic urticaria.

    Key Findings

    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
