Status: Not recommended
Kefir is classified as not recommended for Histamine Intolerance based on current dietary assessments. Dairy products contain calcium, protein and – depending on the product – varying amounts of lactose and fat, which can be relevant for certain conditions. With histamine intolerance, attention is paid to the histamine content and histamine-releasing properties of foods, as the body cannot break down histamine sufficiently. The reasoning given is: strongly fermented, higher Histaminbelastung probable. The assessment is based on conservative experience-based assessments.
