      Trout (Brown)

      Brown trout sensitivity may result from its proteins, histamines, or processing methods. Avoid it for 8 weeks and opt for alternatives like cod or chicken. Probiotics and vitamin C can help reduce inflammation and support recovery.

      🍨 What Is Brown Trout?

      Brown trout is a freshwater fish known for its mild flavor and firm texture. It is a rich source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and essential vitamins and minerals like B12, selenium, and phosphorus.

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

      Brown trout intolerance may arise due to:

      • Parvalbumin: A fish protein that can trigger sensitivities.
      • Histamines: Naturally occurring in fish, particularly when not fresh, which may provoke reactions.
      • Processing chemicals: Preservatives in farmed or processed trout might irritate sensitive individuals.
      • Cross-contamination: Brown trout may come into contact with other fish proteins during handling or processing.

      🛠️ What Can I Do About It?

      • Avoid brown trout and dishes containing it for 8 weeks to allow symptoms to subside.
      • Replace brown trout with alternative protein sources like chicken, tofu, or mild fish.
      • Retest after 8 weeks to evaluate whether your sensitivity has improved.
