been dealing with this for months now. i eat leftover fermented cheese on monday and nothing happens. then wednesday i do the same thing and by thursday morning i’m flushing, hives everywhere, the full flare. initially i was convinced old cheese was the culprit - high histamine, bacteria producing more over time.
spent weeks eliminating it. then i started looking at the dates. the triggering cheeses? eaten on high-stress work days.
the ones that did nothing? calm weeks, even older. so was it the histamine load or the stress that day? or both slamming at once?
the 6-12 hour delay makes it harder to untangle. anyone else watching the same food trigger sometimes and not others depending on what that week looked like stress-wise?
ymmv.
