    The interviewer was soooo disruptive! She didn't allow the doctor to finish his thoughts, and she continuously interrupted him with her "empty" interjections of "ok", "ah" "uh-huh" and laughter. With all due respect, it was annoying! 😤 Let the guest talk! In an interview with a lot of technical information, the ongoing interruption is not conducive to the flow and impacts the transmission of the information to the audience.

    Pretty sure this is what I have, yet I get told I only have edema and uticaria. So sick of the terrible system. Also had exacxtly that, a car accident and after that have come down with all different reactions, and mostly after eating. Yet they tell me it has nothing to do with food even though ive got my IGG tested and turns out i am intolerant to diary, gluten and eggs and few other things. However I also get reactions when its not any of those 3, especially sulphites but the rest I don't know. Can't handle most perfume smell, smoke etc. So tired most of the time, and already have chronic pain. This whole thing is awful and not getting anywhere with the doctors is extremely tough.

    I JUST DON’T CARE ANYMORE. I will not seek out medical care any longer to try to figure out what is wrong with me and I don’t have the credit cards to do it anyway. Over 30 years of being sick. I’m done. We should be hospitalized until a diagnosis is made.

    I have had Mcas for at least 20 years, have seen multiple specialists. Taking histamine meds since 2016 but they no longer work and I cannot find a dr that knows what to do for my constant itching skinand inflammation.. Clinics and hospitals are all chaotic so finding help is almost impossible. Even my pcp is not available most times. Too busy

    Hi Doc. Where in London or UK I can visit a specialist for mast cells please?! I’ve been in very bad condition for years, and having many symptoms of MCAS. No any docs.know what to do with me anymore or how to treat me😞 and I’m getting worse year by year.

    How are IgG reactions related to MC activity? My daughter had 5 anaphylactic shocks last year and then we have been in and out of the ER many times. Avoiding triggers on IgG has stopped her from going to the ER. Also she’s taking H1, H2 and leukotrine inhibitors. Symptoms are respiratory, gastric, neurological and skin related. Where can we get in Florida someone who can help us with diagnosis? Thank you.

    I had testing and showed extremely high prostaglandin d2 at 550. I experience severe stomach pain and bloating when eating, then severe nervousness and anxiety with racing thoughts. All triggered by eating. Also have eosinophilic esophogitius. Does this qualify as mcas. And can the high prostaglandin explain my symptoms.

    I would like to know if there is a food or a diet that is beneficial for long term treatment of MCAS. I have been diagnosed with MCAS. My immunologist put me on the low histamine diet. I did not find it sustainable and it even caused me to have issues with my nails and hair. I decided to come off it while still avoiding my food triggers. I would like to know if the whole food diet would be better at treating MCAS?

    I have had the most benefits from the autoimmune protocol. It focuses on nutrient density while removing common triggers.

    Far too many times, the interviewer seems to get in the way of the presentation. They do not give added value to the interview...just let the guy talk...he usually has a specific talk about all his research.

    My goodness, the interviewer is irritating. Just can't stop interrupting. We are an intelligent audience, we don't need her to rephrase, or hype and highlight. How did the Doctor even regain his train of thought after all of her interruptions every few seconds. I unfortunately had to pass up finishing listening.
