Question 1

What is HistaMate?

Accepted Answer

HistaMate is a mobile app that helps you review recipe ingredients while following a low-histamine diet. You can scan, paste or link a recipe, and the app highlights ingredients you may wish to look at more closely alongside plain-language explanations.

Question 2

Does the app diagnose histamine intolerance?

Accepted Answer

No. HistaMate is an educational reference tool only. It does not provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and it is not a substitute for guidance from a qualified healthcare professional.

Question 3

How does recipe scanning work?

Accepted Answer

Take a photo of a printed or on-screen recipe and HistaMate reads the ingredient list, tidies it up and compares each item against our curated ingredient database. You can review and edit the detected ingredients before viewing results.

Question 4

Do I need an account?

Accepted Answer

You can analyse recipes without an account. Saving favourite recipes and keeping a history of previous analyses across devices is part of a subscription costing £1.99 a month.

Question 5

Can I use the app offline?

Accepted Answer

Core ingredient lookups work with a connection so results stay current. Saved recipes you have already analysed remain viewable when you are offline.

Question 6

Will more ingredients be added?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The ingredient database is reviewed and expanded regularly, and you can suggest missing ingredients from inside the app or by emailing us.
