A Leaky Gut is the Cause of Histamine Intolerance and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome

In this interview hosted by the Can I Be Candid Show, Dr. Tina Peers discusses the complex relationship between a leaky gut, histamine intolerance, and Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). Dr. Peers explains that increased intestinal permeability, often referred to as 'leaky gut,' plays a significant role in triggering histamine intolerance and MCAS. Conversely, histamine itself can contribute to the development of leaky gut. The interview delves into current research supporting these connections and outlines how addressing gut health may mitigate symptoms related to MCAS. Dr. Peers also touches on the link between MCAS, long COVID, and menopause, suggesting integrative approaches for treatment.
