Amine levels
Hi there, I would love some clarity on amines please. My highschool-aged son is on the FID diet and we have learned that amines are definitely a trigger for him. Because he can't eat leftover meats, we have been sending him to school with soup in a flask (vegetable/potato and leek/lentil and vegetable). My question is, does storing soup in a flask increase amine levels?? I make the soup (no meat), cool it, freeze it in serving sized portions and then just heat it up in the morning before school. By using a flask, am I unwittingly giving him higher amine levels?

Hi Alison!
Thank you for reaching out with your question about amines.
Storing soup in a flask should not significantly increase amine levels, especially since you're taking careful steps to prepare and store the soup properly.
Amines typically form in protein-rich foods, and since your soups are vegetable-based without meat, the risk of amine increase is lower. However, it’s always good to monitor for any reactions and adjust if needed.
If you have any other questions or need further clarification, feel free to ask xx
