You're missing a presentation. Psychological conditions are not red herrings for food allergies. They're red herrings for physicians having poor physiological understanding. I have IgE seeming reactions with elevated serum PGD2 and sometimes mildly elevated tryptase rapidly after ingesting offending foods. Only thing is that I do not have IgE antibodies to these foods. The presentations are anaphylactic in nature excluding external swelling. There is voice hoarseness, tachycardia, shortness of breath, severe POTS-like symptoms, diarhhea, nausea, vomiting all immediately after ingesting the offending foods. But there's no IgE antibodies present to anything except for outdoor molds, cow's milk, and beef. Many incompetent providers are quick to assume it is a somatoform disorder but this is so blatantly insane. It is like calling women witches in the 1800s because they didn't understand what PMS was. It is incomplete understanding of biology. It is a predictable syndrome that has gotten worse overtime, with almost all foods causing some sort of reaction like this at this point. I have to keep switching foods to ones that don't give me severe enough symptoms to go to the emergency room but i have to rapidly switch back n forth. They did a bunch of MCAS testing which ended up being almost entirely negative. Seems like they're missing something important!
