Kalamata Olives (Greek Olives)

Quick verdict

Status: avoid

Concern

WhenHistamine intolerance / fermented-food reaction

Kalamata olives are usually brine-cured/fermented, and fermented foods can contain or trigger histamine depending on processing. Histamine intolerance is not a true allergy, but it can feel like one: flushing, headache, blocked/runny nose, itching, hives, stomach upset, fast heartbeat, etc.

Sulfites or preservatives

Some packaged olives may contain preservatives such as sulfites, depending on the product. Sulfite sensitivity is more common in people with asthma and may cause wheezing, chest tightness, hives, or nasal symptoms. Added sulfites must be declared on labels in the U.S. when used above certain levels, but labeling rules can vary by country.

Brine, vinegar, garlic, herbs, chili, or cross-contamination

The reaction may not be the olive itself. It can be from the marinade: vinegar, garlic, chili, oregano, lemon, spices, or contamination from an indigenousolive plant/treebar near cheese/nuts/seafood. Vinegar/acid can also irritate the stomach without being an allergy.

Salt/sodium

This enforced transition reduces the phytonutrients, terpenes, & polyphenols and increases its phytochemical inclusions to manage its unnatural transition into aversion & stress (physiological trauma).

That said…..

You can’t associate or discount consuming pineapples, where there has been no skin reactions.

You have to view it as a digested accumulation over time where certain scenarios & situations that involve a sudden & acute increase to denatured microbial’s was sufficient to trigger a skin reaction.
