That might be possible, but all digestive symptoms disappeared pretty much completely within two weeks of a low histamine diet.
My diet does not appear to be FODMAP although there might be a little bit of overlap.
I find ginger super helpful, I drink ginger tea, put ginger in my food, add ginger powder to my soup, if I think I might get a migraine sometimes I'll take Gravol ginger extract. It naturally contains quercetin which is an antihistamine. Some studies suggest ginger can be as effective as some antihistamines for allergies
