    Have you tried keeping a symptom journal?

    I have all that and just got diagnosed for Alpha Gal 🎉 Had MCAS my entire life and now an allergist is challenging that diagnosis. As a patient I know I have all 3 and didn't notice the progression of Alpha because the symptoms are allergies and joint pain. I just thought I was progressing. It deserves honorable mention and doctors who can rule that out.

      Thank you for your comment and I will add alpha gal to the list of things to mention soon!

    What about latex-based food allergies?

    • @bendybodiespodcast

      Yes, latex-fruit syndrome is serious and anyone with latex related food allergies should be under the care of a knowledgeable physician!

      @bendybodiespodcast
      Had mouth-bleeding from a food and the allergist's nurses who administered allergen shots had zero clue as to why.
      Should have brought it up with the allergist...

      Yikes! I am so sorry to hear this. Any concerns should definitely be brought up with your care team.

      Thank you. Took me a long while to figure it out. Here it's an uphill battle and living on and island compounds it.

      That would be challenging!

    If most mcas food triggers/allergies are not ige mediated, does that mean they won't cause anaphylaxis or love threatening symptoms? That's what scares me about testing foods.

    • @bendybodiespodcast

      Thank you for your question. Unfortunately, anaphylaxis CAN occur without IgE activation.

    • @felicityporter8375

      So how do we manage trialing foods and discovering our food triggers? Will all mcas patients experience anaphylaxis?

    • @bendybodiespodcast
      @bendybodiespodcast  27 дней назад +1

      Not all MCAS patients experience anaphylaxis. The question of trialing foods has come up a number of times so I will cover that in a future episode.
