She had a procedure and I told the anesthesiologist that she needed steroids wuth her anesthesia. She did not do it. My daughter ended up in ER 15 times and hospitalized 4. She almost had to get a feeding tube. She just kept screaming "the confusion!" Broke my heart. She's on Allegra and Pepcid and going to start Xolair. We've been homebound 14 minths since procedure.

You're my MCAS Angel, Dr Paul. Fifty-four years of trying to get help and legitimacy has been a rollercoaster of hope and despair. It all started with a severe case of Mononucleosis at age six.

[@Ruktiet]

Have you had low vitamin D by any chance throughout your life? What about IBS-like symptoms?

[@nford3886]

Yes and yes

[@Ruktiet]

@@nford3886 Thanks for replying. Could you share by any chance what has worked the most for you? Also, have you had problems with severe anxiety throughout your life? Some info from my end: know that “MCAS” is a presentation with an imbalanced T-helper 2 (“Th2) cell response compared to Th1, and that fairly recently T regulatory cells have been discovered, which produce cytokines which act like a negative feedback to the inflammatory Th1 and Th2 response, and these Treg cells get upregulated by proper vitamin D availability. Studies on hunter-gatherers show consistently that they have about 45ng/ml of 25-hydroxy vitamin D in their blood, and these people don’t seem to have allergies or immune dysfunction. This high serum vitamin D level by being outside might be a key to this, alongside many different other factors, but vitamin D is notoriously low in Western populations. Thus, sunbathing or supplementation of vitamin D3 (+K2 MK-4) and magnesium for activation of D3 might drastically help with stabilizing these overzealous mast cells. Fat soluble vitamins are synergistic so you might want to look into vitamin A as well, given that this is also a very immune-related vitamin and some people (those with BCMO1 gene polymorphisms) might need specific animal sources such as liver or cod liver oil to get enough of it, because they have difficulty getting it from plant pigment (beta-carotene). Another thing to know is that chronic stress due to anxiety disorders, trauma, unhealthy social or work situations, etc. cause chronic corticotropin releasing hormone secretion, which drastically activate mast cells. It is therefore no surprize that people with chronic (idiopathic) urticaria often see this condition appear after periods of chronic psychological stress, and see them disappear when their psychological state is normalized. Also, this is a positive feedback loop, as MCAS can cause anxiety via many different direct and indirect ways. Vicious cycle. Good luck. Hope it’s helpful.

Heal the liver! I used dandelion, milk thistle, artichoke, burdock etc blend off Amazon. Amazing results! Intermittent fasting and regular fasting. Cut alcohol and coffee.

I use bromelian with quercetin, turmeric and allerga for reactions rescue.

Glad you found something that works for you! Quercetin makes me itch like crazy. Ironically I found out it has asorbic acid among other histamine related ingredients 😅 FMF Functional Doctor formulation... Mistakes were made 😂 I've had some success with Immunoglobulins, probiotics (bifido blend only!), Berberine and digestive enzymes with HCl. It doesn't clear everything, but at least now I don't sit in hives and chronically itch. I drink stinging nettle tea with meals, and use dead sea salt footbaths which supports the constant magnesium loss. I too cut alcohol over 8 years ago and coffee a few years back. Low hist diet. Also low oxalate as that has been a big trigger for me.

I have Secondary Mast Cell Activation Syndrome with key triggers of six types of sulphites (sulphites Canadian ... sulfites American). Included in this list is Sulphur Dioxide gas (S02) which is emitted by diesel fuel burning trucks on the road. If driving a single lane road behind a diesel burning truck then I just pull over and wait. I worked in the marine industry with tones upon tones of diesel fuel was burnt and inhaled every day of my career. Did you know that the commercial dehydration process sprays sulphur dioxide gas over all the products to prevent mold.

how did you find this out!? My MCAS is out of control and i'm not responding to many medications

[@warrenpeterson6065]

@@laracwass9543 Hi Lara, sorry to hear about your ailment. I'm now 66 y.o. and have had this since my 40's ... well before anyone knew what it was. In my case, I have mcas, am histamine intolerant, have a sulphites trigger and have several other immune system ailments such as IBS, intestinal ulcers, kidney disease, etc. I have researched my condition extensively for many years. I'm Canadian and Health Canada lists Sulphites as a top 10 food allergen. I take the allergen all the way to anaphylaxis. I break out in full body psoriasis during an attack and even develop narcolepsy and sleep up to 4 days without waking. Today, my diet is sulphite free (and that is complicated) and histamine limited. I take prednisone long term but just at a dosage that suppresses my immune system and no more. I take mondafinil to suppress the narcolepsy and this allows me to stay awake during the day. I take candesartan for hypertension. I take cyclobenzaprine as a muscle relaxant. And I take quetiapine for a few days whenever my meds are changed as I typically have psychotic episodes. I meet with my medical team every 2-weeks virtually and have for roughly 1.5 years. I have recently been reassigned to a new to me clinic while I await referrals to 4 specialists. Lara, I hope my story helps you with your journey. At least you now know there is someone else.

I have endometriosis. So the endometriotic lesions produce their own estrogen. Needless to say, I have severe estrogen dominance along with progesterone resistance. With time, the estrogen dominance will just get worse. I hear mast cells also trigger more estrogen production. Simply put, how am I supposed to eliminate all this excess estrogen? I feel like this is impossible without surgically removing the endometriosis lesions from my body. And surgery exacerbates my MCAS big time. In fact, MCAS is probably why I have endometriosis in the first place

[@celiauzarski2064]

@ibinezgirl4623 I realize it’s been nine months since this comment on Dr. Anderson’s video. I too have estrogen dominance, but not endometriosis. I’m always seeking alternative ways to treat my body rather than pharmaceuticals or surgery. My suggestion is to research diindolymethane. It comes from cruciferous vegetables to help regulate estrogen. It may not be the exact answer, but it may lead you to something similar to will work.

Everytime I try to take b6 consistently, I get high serum levels and neuropathy in my feet and hands. Even at lower doses. Why is this??

[@donaldgass3440]

Hello Dr. Anderson, thank you for your informative video. Have you ever heard of someone having a mast cell reaction to NAC? My wife has had muscle pain for 6 weeks after taking high dose NAC. Hopefully, it will resolve. What is your opinion on peptides for a mast cell flare? Thank you.

2:15pm very important to avoid foods that trigger histamine in your body. Everyone is a little different from each other. Find out which foods trigger histamine. Then use supplements to heal. If you keep eating trigger foods your waisting your time + your money.
