If so, you're suffering from histamine intolerance and mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS)

Histamine intolerance and MCAS are difficult to diagnose because everyone reacts differently to different triggers.

However, the symptoms and the fear are real.

I 'm no stranger to the symptoms and triggers of histamine intolerance

I was diagnosed with Adult Onset Urticaria Pigmentosa when I was in my early 30s.

I think I always had symptoms, I just had nothing to connect the dots (no pun intended) when it came to my sudden rash that never went away. When I was diagnosed, little was known about mast cells and the symptoms that would eventually take over my life and cause me to live in fear.

Ultimately, I ended up taking 7 anti-histamines a day and was worried about the long-term effects of over the counter medications. When my allergist retired, I decided to take a different route. I consulted a functional medicine practitioner and discovered my lifestyle was making me sick.
