Why is Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic or Infant Probiotic the best choice for those who have Histamine Intolerance?

Smidge® Sensitive Probiotic and Smidge® Infant Probiotic contain only histamine neutral or histamine degrading strains, so it is great for those that struggle with histamine intolerance. We do suggest starting low and slow, as some die-off symptoms can mimic histamine reactions.


Histamine neutral strains include: Bifidobacterium bifidum; Lactobacillus gasseri; Lactobacillus salivarius; Lactobacillus plantarum (L. Plantarum is omitted from Smidge® Infant Probiotic)


Histamine degrading strains include: Bifidobacterium breve; Bifidobacterium infantis; Bifidobacterium longum; Bifidobacterium lactis
