Additional Informations

Cottage cheese's impact on histamine levels appears to be low to moderate. The primary ingredients are milk and sometimes cream, both of which are generally low in histamine. However, other factors such as the aging process and bacteria used in fermentation can potentially elevate histamine content. According to data from the Swiss Interest Group Histamine Intolerance (SIGHI), fresh unripened cheeses such as cottage cheese have a low histamine level but can potentially trigger histamine release in sensitive individuals. So though cottage cheese itself is not listed among high-histamine foods, its potential as a histamine liberator should be acknowledged. There is lacking solid research that conclusively shows cheese, including cottage cheese, can significantly lower histamine levels. However, it's notable that some dairy products, namely fermented ones with probiotics, have been indicated to potentially beneficially modulate immune response and perhaps indirectly impact histamine levels. As of the current time, there is a scarcity of extensive research into the intricate relationship between cottage cheese and histamine. Future research should explore this in a more in-depth manner.
