About Me

I'm a diagnosed celiac with food allergies, vocal cord dysfunction, sulfite sensitivity, and a mast cell activation disorder (MCAD). This latter causes me to be super sensitive to gluten, and my reactions to it very nasty.
 

I have only recently received my MCAD disorder and am still exploring what this means, but I hope to have it all figured out and back on my feet again in no time.

    I had the same experience as PegLeg84 when it comes to food intolerances. I do not tolerate grains well, but for whatever reason, if I have corn specifically, it increases my anxiety levels unbelievably. I will literally wake up anxious for no reason the day following corn consumption, and feel anxious for the entire day, sometime two if it was a lot...

    ARCHIVED So Discouraged

    T.H. replied to across's topic in Super Sensitive People

    Hugs, hon. For some reason, I think there's something more upsetting about getting sick when you are being careful, you know? If you were not taking as much care and you get sick, it's more like 'dang it, I knew i shouldn't have done that.' But when you are taking care - and often missing out on foods and activities you may like as a result - it can...

    We've run into this with my daughter at her grandmother's house. She has gotten really sick there before, eating her own food entirely, and then even when she had her own food, her own utensils, AND her own prep area for her food. Very frustrating, because she gets SO sick. In my experience, the biggest issue to find out WHY it's a big issue for his...

    I'd second taking a 24 hour tryptase test, yeah. I'd add a 24 hour urine test for prostaglandins and histamine levels, too - anyone getting this would really want to look up how to keep it cold, though, and how the lab is supposed to as well, and make sure the lab understands this. There's information on the web. It's a rare enough test that many times...

    Congratulations on getting diagnosed. Such a relief to at least have some better handle on where to go from here to stay healthy, yeah? Have the doctors and you had any luck on feeling better since you were diagnosed? For anyone else reading this, sometimes the MCAD symptom information can be a bit harder to find than the mastocytosis symptom information...

    Open Original Shared Link Even if you don't use this product, I'd recommend reading this, because while this product - which uses barley malt but is labeled gluten free - is not certified by the GFCO, it is made in a facility that is certified as gluten free by the GFCO. So, a potential concern for other products made in the same facility. There is...

    This is the latest information on diagnosing MCAS/MCAD that I know of. It was put out this February - Open Original Shared Link I imagine that may be of some help to her. ALSO, the mastocytosis society will answer questions from doctors - they have some experts who have agreed to do this - about mastocytosis AND MCAS or MCAD. So she may want to check...

    If you've got a good control over it, the only reason I can think might be for emergency situations. If you ever, got forbid, got hospitalized for something, were in an accident, that sort of thing, you might need a diagnosis to lend weight to what you need to do to stay healthy. Or at least have a doctor who knows some of your needs and can back you...

    I found it easiest to get on a paleo kind of diet when I started having trouble with other grains, especially rice - it's just in nearly everything, as I'm sure you've seen. Just starting off, for recipes - this gal had some nice recipes when I was looking for things to make: Open Original Shared Link

    Ouch! Sympathies. Although OMG - am I remembering right that you get headaches from perfume sometimes? Now it makes sense!
  14. T.H.
    Yeah, it does look like that - I wonder how common it will turn out to be whenever it is eventually researched, you know? Very glad to hear that you are doing better. I'm hopeful for myself. I got a nasty virus and all my symptoms went a bit crazy, unfortunately. :-/ Even on a low histamine diet now, I'm getting things like allergic reactions to...

    Bartful, there was a thread on this in one of the MCAS groups recently and, well, this is a list of what points were made, best I can remember! i was trying to learn about this as much as I could, too! 1. Depending on why a food was on the 'bad' list for a low histamine diet, some people had trouble with it, and some people didn't. There were some...

    The newest information down the pike on this condition. :-) "A concise, practical guide to diagnostic assessment for mast cell activation disease" by Afrin and Molderings Published February 2014 Open Original Shared Link And hi, Jebby! :-) Just wanted to add something of my own personal experience as someone else with MCAD and Celiac Disease...

    Oh, thank you for the link - I haven't seen that one before. :-)

    Our daughter's GI doctor told us that there's a good chance she's not immune to Hep B. However, he didn't recommend testing OR getting re-vaccinated, because he said the chances that she will have a non-response again are so high. He is currently recommending to his patients that they simply be aware that this is a potential issue, and he's going to keep...
