Have you ever experienced unexplained allergic reactions, skin rashes, digestive issues, brain fog, or chronic inflammation? If so, you may be dealing with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)—a condition where the body's mast cells become overly reactive, releasing excess histamine and inflammatory chemicals that can trigger a variety of symptoms.
What Are Mast Cells & Why Do They Matter?
Mast cells are a crucial part of your immune system, responsible for releasing histamine and other chemicals that help fight infections and heal injuries. However, in MCAS, these cells become overactive and misfire, leading to widespread inflammation, allergic-type reactions, and chronic health issues.
Common Symptoms of MCAS:
🔹 Skin issues (hives, itching, flushing, rashes)
🔹 Digestive problems (bloating, nausea, diarrhea, acid reflux)
🔹 Headaches & migraines
🔹 Brain fog, anxiety, or mood swings
🔹 Sinus congestion, asthma, or shortness of breath
🔹 Unexplained fatigue & joint pain
🔹 Sensitivities to foods, medications, or environmental triggers
What Triggers MCAS?
MCAS can be triggered or worsened by:
🚫 High-histamine foods (fermented foods, aged cheeses, alcohol, processed meats)
🚫 Chronic stress and poor sleep
🚫 Environmental toxins (mold, chemicals, fragrances)
🚫 Infections or gut imbalances (SIBO, candida, leaky gut)
Just to name a few...Typically with MCAS, I refer it to the "perfect storm" with usually multiple root cause issues at play. For many people, post Covid has kicked up this cytokine storm inside of their bodies, causing immune dysfunction - leading to issues like MCAS.
