Some may recall that, while I got the GF/DF/SF thing down fairly quickly, I have been a slow learner regarding mast cell issues, and, belatedly, concluded that I had them. Since then, I had really been doing pretty well with an anti-histamine each day, and an Immodium every third day, plus Betaine when a meal was likely to give me problems. I definitely have motility issues: it takes max 12 hours for a meal to pass through me, even with Immodium.
The last few days, I have had bad D issues within 2 hours of eating cooked squash and canned tuna, which has been a staple lunchtime food for me for a long time. Goodbye...
Just goes to show; sometimes we think we have things figured out, and there's a curve ball.

Hi Suze,
We were all slow learners when it comes to mast cell issues — its association with MC was unknown until fairly recently (and most GI docs still aren't aware of the connection).
I can see how the tuna could be a problem, but squash should be OK, unless it isn't fresh. Of course, as squash ages, it can even grow mold, and that would surely turn it into a high-histamine food.
I hope that by changing your lunchtime routine, you'll be able to get back on track quickly.

It is suspected that some of the hardest material known to science can be found in the skulls of GI specialists who insist that diet has nothing to do with the treatment of microscopic colitis.

When first diagnosed life with mc was like a roller coaster, there was vast differences between a good day, and a bad day.
Nowadays, there are still changes, learnings, hurdles. Thankfully it is more like a merry go round.
And with time, and lots of reading and work on my thought process there comes a more peaceful acceptance to the changes that keep occurring.
Thankfully, we are not alone on the merry go round, all the people of the pp family are with us.

@ Marliss, yes, I have been avoiding any tuna that says it's packed in broth, figuring there's soy in there. There is one single type of Chicken of the Sea that I have been depending on, and still lately it seems like I react. Going to take a break from tuna, and maybe try again later. If I react then, it's gone.
