Additional Informations

Wood Ear Mushrooms, like other types of mushrooms, can act as histamine liberators. This means that even though they may not possess inherently high levels of histamine, consumption can trigger the body to release its stored histamine. The process can lead to symptoms similar to those experienced with high histamine foods. It is noteworthy that histamine response can also be influenced by other ingredients or substances contained within a food item. Considering the frequent use of Wood Ear Mushrooms in dishes with other ingredients, overall histamine levels in the body after ingestion may also depend on accompanying components. For instance, Wood Ear Mushrooms are often used in Chinese cuisine with soy sauce - a product known to contain high levels of histamine due to fermentation. In such cases, the resulting histamine impact would be increased compared to consumption of the mushrooms alone. Some studies, however, suggest that certain types of mushrooms might show potential in mitigating histamine reactions or lowering histamine levels. While no specific studies for Wood Ear Mushrooms have been found as of the time this information was gathered, it may be an area of exploration for future research. In all of these, individual tolerance levels and sensitivities come into play. Therefore, responses may differ greatly based on individuals' unique biological makeup. Personal trial and avoidance of overtly high histamine foods or histamine liberators may be a practical method in managing histamine intolerance. Sources: Schink, M., Konturek, P.
