Takeaways
Infections can trigger mast cell reactions and people with MCAS may react differently than those without.
Identifying and addressing environmental triggers, such as mold and plastics, is important in managing MCAS.
Immunotherapy for allergies and asthma may impact MCAS symptoms.
Treatment options like Xolair (Omalizumab), ketotifen, cromolyn, and low dose naltrexone (LDN) are discussed.
Nutrition, particularly protein intake, affects MCAS symptoms.
Fish can be a good source of protein, but be aware of mercury levels and choose smaller fish.
Testing mercury levels can help identify potential toxicity and guide treatment.
Antihistamines can be beneficial for managing MCAS symptoms and should not be feared.
Individuals with MCAS may have sensitivities to environmental triggers.

Join us as we delve into topics relevant to anyone experiencing symptomatic joint hypermobility.

Thank you 💜
This was helpful and informative
I am so glad. What did you find most helpful?
@bendybodiespodcast the validation & the education. I'm putting more puzzle pieces together.
I have histamine intolerance & may have MCAS...& the evil triad (EDS, MCAS & POTS...maybe even Lyme?)
It made me think of my own histamine triggers. The point that you have to figure out the root cause. It's the chicken or the egg scenario. What's triggering what. It's a bit discouraging & and overwhelming, but it makes sense. I know I can't just hope it's a virus or mold and assume all my issues will disappear.
I also chewing on the carnivore diet. (Pun intended...lol) I'm not a big fan of meat but eat it.
I'm trying to eat more protein (meat, nuts & seeds), then good fats, & smaller amount of carbs but you have to be careful not to eat high histamine foods at the same time. Its a hard thing to juggle. It's really nice to know my symptoms aren't in my head and there are doctors who can help you figure it out ❤️
@@louiseyoung1231 thank you so much for sharing all of that. You may notice that Dr Dempsey is a fan of the carnivore diet, whereas Dr Ruhoy is a fan of vegan diets. It is really important for each person to do what works for them. Have you watched the episode about our triad documentary?
@bendybodiespodcast thank you. I tried vegan & it made me worse in some ways. I have the MTHFR gene that's turned on, and veganism made me really deficit. Some of the foods triggered histamine reaction & my food sensitivities. I agree. It's not a one size fits all. I did hear the triad one and again got overwhelmed about the mold protocol. It's a lot! I'll listen again though because I know it will help ❤️
@@louiseyoung1231 it is very hard to juggle so you are not alone!🧠👀🧬
Linda, I don't see the diagnosis paper linked in the description. I know you linked your other episodes ...where you might have linked it....but since the 'bandwidth' of ppl with mcas..gives them a certain attention span...being able to see the paper's direct link would be really helpful. If others are like me who go off on other tangents or down rabbit holes....not knowing how or why I got where I ended up....ensures they miss the answer to their main question...like diagnosis criteria paper by Bluestein and Demsey. I also didnt see the Moulderings and Dempsey paper link about learned perceptions that she recommended that ppl read. You mentioned you would link in description. I could have missed them. Is there another place you are putting the references? Someone on another channel used the community tab in YT for the research article references, contact info of guests, etc...instead of leading ppl to fb or a different webpage. Just a thought.
Thank you so much for that feedback and I will add them now. The UA-cam caption has limited characters and sometimes I run out of room.
I am honestly not sure what you mean by the community page. Can you elaborate?
I just added them. As I suspected, I had to remove some other text. Eager to see how the community tab works.
What about a treatment of high dose NAC that is discussed on other channels? Is this a general good overall 'therapy' that would be good in general (like LDN)....but because NAC is OTC until someone finds a prescribing dr.
It was a great privilege to know Dr Abiola on UA-cam, he cure me permanently from Herpes with his herbal medicine #drabiola ☺️❤…😊😊
I personally take NAC and prescribe it to selected patients. I rarely discuss specific supplements or dosing on the podcast because there are so many variables to consider. Make sure you are signed up for the newsletter though as this is something I am thinking of offering classes for in the future.
