The insect sting 🐝 connection is very interesting. I’ve only ever been allergic to bee stings and now later in life dealing with some form of MCAS. Fully body pins and needles, gi burning and neurological impairment during inflammation flares. Luckily I respond well to Pepcid, ketotifin and Sodium Cromolyn.

I have been having dermatographia my whole life. My mom just told me “you have sensitive skin”. Later in life I would still breakout in red raised welts and my entire body would itch but there weren’t any rash to itch just my body itched. I found out I was severely gluten intolerant. I’ve had chronic constipation my whole life and gluten makes me disabled (can’t walk, can’t speak. Neurological symptoms are my main symptoms but my gluten intolerance causes many symptoms. I know when my histamine is high by how my skin turns red and flushes or welting. If I take anti-histamine my symptoms eases up - huge relief. I ran out of quercertin and I am feeling it. Now I’m thinking I can’t run out of it and I’m going to get me some nettle. I cut gluten out this year and my most severe symptoms are gone but this histamine intolerance and MCAS is active. I had some high histamine foods a week ago and I really am coming out of denial of the fact that I can eat it, I can’t eat high histamine foods otherwise I feel like crap, weird

Absolutely brilliant- thank you so much EDS

This is all so incredibly confusing. Thr vast majority of medical practices in the US would have no clue where to begin. And insurers would balk at most of the suggested tests.

Chymase is the missing link for me, thanks Dr Anne!

Please consider high oxalate foods as an activator! Sally K Norton has an amazing book called "Toxic Superfoods" !

Where does Histamine intolerance fall into this?

I wish I could hear more insight on HaT. My tryptase is between 14-17 but I am negative for the c-kit gene. I have a lot of head/neck/face pain, GI problems, food allergies and intolerances and I think I'm reacting to my own estrogen.

Does dysautonomic symptoms correlate MCAS? My son has had Kounis type anaphylaxis and has multiple dysautonomic episodes. He reacts to sunlight. These have improved with mast cell blockade.
