      Red Snapper

      In summary, red snapper sensitivity often arises from its proteins or histamine content. Avoid it for 8 weeks, retest for improvements, and consider digestive and anti-inflammatory supplements to manage symptoms.

      🍨 What is Red Snapper?

      Red Snapper is a popular saltwater fish known for its firm texture and mildly sweet flavor. Found in tropical waters, it is commonly grilled, baked, or fried and is a great source of protein, vitamin D, and selenium.

      🤔 Why do I have an intolerance to Red Snapper?

      Red snapper intolerance is often linked to its proteins, such as parvalbumin, a common trigger for fish sensitivities. Additionally, red snapper may contain marine toxins or higher histamine levels, especially if not stored properly.

      🛠️ What can I do about it?

      • Avoid red snapper and dishes containing it for 8 weeks.
      • Retest after this period to check for symptom improvements.
      • Be cautious of cross-contact in seafood dishes.
      • Check labels for hidden red snapper in soups, broths, or processed foods.
