A Practical Tip for Mast Cell Diagnosis 💡💯
In this resource, Dr. Theoharides discusses the importance of identifying and removing specific trigger foods to manage symptoms of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). He suggests that patients should carefully monitor food intake to identify substances that may cause reactions, such as gluten, casein in milk, or certain molecules in meats like pork and beef. Adjusting one's diet by eliminating these potential triggers can lead to significant improvements in well-being for MCAS patients, even if they are not genuinely allergic to these foods. This dietary approach can be a practical nonpharmacological strategy for symptom management in MCAS.
