Erica,

I just put 2 or 3 sugar cubes in my coffee, and that works fine for me. I'm back to 2 cups a day again, with no problems so far.


Martha,

Chocolate is a double-edged sword. It's a good source of magnesium, but it's also a good source of histamine. :sigh:

HI Tex,
I gave the coffee one more try after giving it a day off, and only put Cashew milk in it this morning....I'll see how that fairs for me today :wink:

I created a new post on sunshine and histamine today, I found an article that really was a slam dunk with all the symptoms that hit in Spring and Fall.

LOL, I don't know how we all aren't so crazy from ebbing an flowing with this MC thing and all it can entail at times.

Yes, heat accelerates mast cell degranulation and histamine activity. I recall reading a research article on that topic but I don't recall offhand the name of the research paper.
