Haddock

Haddock may cause sensitivities due to its proteins, histamine levels, or preparation methods. Avoid it for 8 weeks, retest, and explore other lean fish options like cod or tilapia. Supplements like probiotics and enzymes can help.

• Opt for mild, alternative fish like cod or tilapia if they’re tolerated.
