Labor Day, like many holidays, is often built around a table full of food you might not be able to eat. If you’ve ever stood next to the appetizers wondering what you might be able to nibble without triggering a flare or you’ve gone home hungry after picking at a salad, this post is for you.
We are sharing our top tips for navigating celebrations with MCAS or Histamine Intolerance. Everything from bringing your own dish to honest ways to communicate with the host about what you might need or why you brought your own meal.
Plus, we’ve included a full lineup of low histamine recipes to bring with you (or serve at) your next gathering including:
Appetizers to share, like hummus, herb crackers, and roasted garlic dip
Sides that hold their own next to any comfort food, like a root vegetable mash and sorghum stuffing
Mains worth building a plate around, from an easy pork roast to macadamia crusted fish
Desserts and drinks including a low histamine cocktail and mocktail options
A little planning ahead really can make the difference between spending days recovering and instead, actually enjoying the gathering.
We’ve pulled together our top recommended Labor Day sales. Big savings on the products we trust most and recommend to support you on your healing journey.

Air Angel (portable)– Compact enough to travel with, plug into a car outlet, or move room to room. With the holidays coming up, it’s a great option for hotel stays, family visits, or gifting to a loved one who’s sensitive to mold and off-gassing wherever they go.Whole Home HVAC System– For more comprehensive, whole-house coverage, HypoAir’s HVAC units integrate with your existing system to continuously support cleaner air throughout your living space.

☕ Purity Coffee – 20% Off Your First Order
Coffee is one of those small daily joys that many in our community have had to give up. Purity Coffee is the only coffee brand we trust and recommend to the Mast Cell 360 community, and many on our own team drink it daily.
Here’s why we love it:
Mold and mycotoxin-free– Triple-tested by third parties for mold, pesticides, and toxins, with green coffee beans verified clean before roasting.Low histamine– Unlike most coffee, Purity isn’t fermented, which is one of the main reasons conventional coffee spikes histamine levels.Free of harmful chemicals– Tested for 310 different chemicals, even though they only source certified organic beans.Low acid and gentle on sensitive systems– Their clean sourcing and processing make it much easier to tolerate than typical coffee.
If you’re new to Purity or still building tolerance, we always recommend starting slow with their decaf blend, Calm. It’s 99.9% caffeine-free using the Swiss Water Process (no harsh chemicals) and is also the only low salicylate option we’ve found
Use code MASTCELL360 to save 20% on your first order.

We’ve put our favorites together in the Mast Cell Bundle, which includes:
EC3 Head-to-Toe Cleanser– A daily wash that removes mold from hair and sensitive skin (also great for pollen and other triggers).EC3 Air Purification Candle– A simple way to help control mold spore levels in indoor air; burning one for about 30 minutes before bed can make a noticeable difference.EC3 Mold Solution Concentrate– A versatile go-to for cleaning hard surfaces, laundry, fogging, and misting to help pull mold and mycotoxins out of the air.
