      Seabass

      Seabass may cause intolerance due to proteins, histamine content, or digestibility issues. Avoid it for 8 weeks, retest, and try alternatives like tilapia or plant-based options. Supplements like probiotics and quercetin can aid recovery.

      🍨 What is Seabass?

      Seabass is a flavorful, white, flaky fish often enjoyed grilled, baked, or pan-seared. It is rich in omega-3 fatty acids, protein, selenium, and vitamin B12, making it a nutritious choice in many cuisines.

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

      Seabass intolerance may result from:

      • Proteins: Specific fish proteins in seabass can cause sensitivities.
      • Histamines: Seabass can accumulate histamines, particularly if not handled or stored correctly.
      • Fish Oils: Its healthy fats may be harder to digest for sensitive individuals.

      🛠️ What Can I Do About It?

      • Avoid seabass and dishes containing it for 8 weeks.
      • Retest after this period to evaluate symptom improvement.
      • Use other mild fish or plant-based protein alternatives as substitutes.

      🌟 Why Might I Have an Intolerance to Seabass but Not Other Fish?

      Key factors include:

      • Protein Structure: Seabass proteins may differ from those in fish like cod or haddock, leading to specific reactions.
      • Histamine Potential: Seabass has a higher histamine risk if not fresh, unlike some leaner fish.
      • Fat Content: The higher fat levels in seabass may be harder to digest compared to lean fish.
