Dietary twist: Low-Histamine mediterranean plan shows promise for MS fatigue
NCT ID NCT07501520
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jul 31, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This study tested whether a low-histamine version of the Mediterranean diet could help people with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) feel better. 51 adults were split into three groups: one followed the low-histamine Mediterranean diet, another a standard Mediterranean diet, and a third made no diet changes. Researchers measured fatigue, disability, and other symptoms, along with blood markers of inflammation and oxidative stress, to see if lowering dietary histamine adds extra benefits.
