      Plaice

      Plaice sensitivity may stem from its proteins, histamine content, or processing methods. Avoid it for 8 weeks and try alternatives like cod or salmon. Probiotics and omega-3s can help reduce inflammation and support recovery.

      🍨 What Is Plaice?

      Plaice is a type of flatfish known for its mild flavor and delicate texture. It’s commonly baked, fried, or grilled and is a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins like B12 and D.

      🤔 Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Plaice and Its Components?

      Intolerance to plaice can be caused by:

      • Parvalbumin: A fish protein that often triggers sensitivities.
      • Histamines: Found naturally in fish and can provoke reactions in sensitive individuals.
      • Processing chemicals: Preservatives or additives in frozen or processed plaice might irritate.
      • Cross-contamination: Plaice may come into contact with other fish during processing, leading to mixed sensitivities.

      🛠️ What Can I Do About It?

      • Avoid plaice and dishes containing it for 8 weeks to reduce symptoms.
      • Replace plaice with alternative protein sources like chicken, tofu, or other non-reactive fish.
      • Retest after 8 weeks to determine if your sensitivity has improved.

      💊 Supplements to Support Intolerance and Inflammation From Plaice

      • Omega-3 fatty acids: Support anti-inflammatory processes.
      • Vitamin C: Helps reduce histamine sensitivity.

      🌟 Why Do I Have an Intolerance to Plaice but Not Other Fish?

      The differences between plaice and other fish include:

      • Protein composition: Parvalbumin levels in plaice may differ compared to other fish.
      • Histamine levels: Some fish naturally contain more histamine, and plaice might have higher levels.
      • Processing variations: Plaice may be processed differently, introducing irritants specific to it.
      • Fat content: Plaice is leaner, and its protein concentration may affect digestibility differently than fattier fish.
