I've had a colonoscopy before, but I don't think the doctor specified to rule out MC. That's an important question for me to ask. I have oodles of food sensitivities, so it's interesting that those can cause mast cells as well.

I completely agree with Courtney. I'm allergic to gluten, corn and rice. So many gluten-free foods contain corn and rice as a substitute. That's my definition of multiply intolerant and it makes purchasing pre-made or packaged food quite difficult. At least it cuts down on the processed foods that I...

It's so helpful that more and more people are learning about gluten intolerance. It took me years of going doctor to doctor before I was diagnosed with Celiac's. Back then, few doctors knew about it and no one ever talked about it. It took lots of time, and lots of HSA spending to get diagnosed prop...
