Peas are SCD legal, what about pea shoots?

My Naturopath wants me to take a porcine product for "blocking Histamines in my food. In searching for alternatives, I discovered that Green Pea shoots would assist the body to produce its own Diamine Oxidase that is the main component of the capsules. My question is, do you know where to find if Green Pea shoots contain poly or mono sugars. I have diligently searched every where I know of. Peas are Legal, but nothing about the shoots.

Peas are SCD legal, what about pea shoots?

Green pea shoots /green pea sprouts will assist in DAO production however generally less than other supplementation (eg. porcine)\n \nThis is a great article that may be helpful as it explains the complexity of this issue and that just increasing DAO may not address the root issue.\n http://samanthagilbert.com/histamine-ma ... e/\n\nPeas are SCD legal and the sprouts are also legal. However, they should be tried cautiously because sprouting does alter the structure and will change the digestibility. Not less digestible by SCDers, just different. So start low and gradually increase if it it seems to be tolerated okay. They can be juiced or used in salads. If you are able to just use the long sprout portion and not the remaining seed coat/pea portion that may help make it easier to digest.
