Mast cell activation syndrome

Post by Deb »

Wow. I didn't know mast cell issues could cause so many problems. From our local newspaper....

The symptoms are startling: migraines that leave welts, food allergies that cause a distended stomach and pregnancy-like stretch marks, nonfunctioning bowels, life-threatening sensitivity to sunlight, odors and virtually all foods, among other things. She's even allergic to common pill casings and pain relief medication, which makes surgery basically impossible.

Johanna now weighs just 90 pounds and can tolerate just one meal per day, which Scott spends hours preparing as a continuing sign of his affection. Chuck roast and cucumber lamb have been her only meals for the past year.

Yes and sadly it is not taken seriously by mainstream medicine
it is also why we frequently mention it here on the forum for people struggling to get reduction in symptoms..

as inflammation levels increase, and there are major depletion of major nutrients, and major methylation issues, the body struggles with any toxin/external item whether that be dust, sunlight, odors etc in our very stressful toxin filled lifestyles.
