You suffer from a histamine intolerance and can't tolerate soy or soy sauce? You therefore avoid Asian cooking?
However, this does not have to be the case. Today we present you a delicious, well-tolerated alternative to soy sauce, so that you can create and enjoy Asian dishes again despite your restrictions.
What are Coco Aminos?
Coco Aminos, also called coconut or coconut aminos, is a salty, spicy seasoning sauce. It is made from the sap of the coconut palm and sea salt and has the color and consistency of a light soy sauce.
It is not as rich as traditional soy sauce and has a milder, sweeter taste. Yet, surprisingly, it does not taste like coconut and therefore goes well with a lot of rice and salad and other vegetable dishes. In addition, it is also very suitable for refining sauces.
Coco Aminos provide a healthy gluten and wheat-free alternative to soy sauce, which is especially suitable for people with soy allergies or food intolerances.
Are Coco Aminos healthy?
Although it can be a good option for people with certain dietary restrictions, Coco Aminos is not a great source of nutrients.
On many popular websites, coconut aminos are credited with a wide range of health benefits, including reducing the risk of heart disease, managing blood sugar and promoting weight loss. However, the research supporting these claims is still very limited. [1]
Many of the health claims are based on the fact that raw coconut and coconut palm contain several nutrients known to have a positive impact on health. [1]
Some of the nutrients found in coconut palm are potassium (needed to maintain nerve and muscle function), zinc (strengthens cell growth and wound healing), magnesium strengthens muscles, nerves, and heart), and antioxidant and polyphenolic compounds (used for cell protection against external bacterial action).
However, the amino acids in coconut are a fermented form of coconut juice and may not have the same nutritional profile as in its fresh form.
At this time, there is no scientific research on cocoamino acids and their potential effects on human health.
Where can you find Coco Aminos?
There are many Coco Aminos on the market. But watch out! Although each product is soy-, wheat- and gluten-free, not every product is low in histamine.
Products made from the fermented sap of the coconut palm are not well tolerated by people with histamine intolerance. For this reason, you should use products that are made without fermentation.
Here is an example product that does not use fermentation. Big Tree Farms' Coco Aminos Seasoning Sauce is not fermented, making it an ideal low-histamine alternative. This product also contains less salt than other sauces, and adds an exotic fruity-spicy flavor to your dish.

Tip:
Although coconut amino acids contain significantly less salt than soy sauces, it should still be used sparingly to prevent excessive sodium intake.

Fructose intolerance - symptoms, diagnosis & treatment
Fructose intolerance is a rare genetic disorder that affects the way the body processes fructose, a type of sugar found in many foods and beverages. The disorder is caused by a deficiency of the enzyme aldolase B, which is needed to break down fructose in the liver. Symptoms of fructose intolerance include abdominal pain, bloating, diarrhea and nausea. Treatment for fructose intolerance includes a strict low-fructose diet and, in some cases, vitamin and mineral supplements and medication.

Painkillers for histamine intolerance
Many people with histamine intolerance are initially unaware that many painkillers are also unsuitable. This is because most painkillers contain so-called histamine liberators. These are substances that release the body's own histamine in mast cells. DAO blockers can also be a problem. DAO is the main degradation pathway in the intestine. Certain substances can inhibit DAO enzyme activity by their presence in the body. As you can see, the question "Which painkillers for histamine intolerance?" is not so easy to answer. On the one hand, it is necessary to check whether the active ingredient is tolerated. On the other hand, it is also necessary to check which excipients are contained in the medication.
