I developed a severe skin infection on my chest after a massage. I had a small wound from a skin tag that came off when I rubbed cream on it there. I saw my doctor twice & went to emerge twice. The Dr. at emerge said my CRP was 44 & what I had was weird. Got antibiotics & steroid cream & antihistamine. I got worse & worse, couldn't sleep and was virtually non functional for a month +. I told my wife that I believed I was having an immune response related to Covid, but Dr.s weren't listening to me. She looked it up & found a rash similar to mine. I probed and decided that I was suffering from Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. I went back to fasting, took antioxidants & concentrated on rehabbing my gut which I always work toward. I'm doing so much better now. My conundrum is that a lot of foods I eat that are great for the gut(fermented foods) are high in histamine. I still eat them, but maybe not as much. Do you think taking DAO capsules would help? I may have histamine intolerance at this point although it is not severe IMO.
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience! I can’t give direct medical advice but that is among some of the things I would consider for MCAS. That being said, due to the nature of that particular illness I would work with someone who is familiar with it as many of these things can set you off if you’re not careful with them.
Hey Dr. Robin , thank you very much for your educational videos. I just discovered this channel it is becoming super useful for my daily routines. Can you do a video about acne and the principle cause? I am asking this because I recently started having acne issues and seborrheic dermatitis. ( I have had these problem before, it started when I turned 25 during lockdown period.)
Dr. Lewis, could you please let me know if you also recommend Gut Health Tests like Viome in which they use RNA technology to find out how our gut microbiome react with different foods and then give us a tailored list of Good and Bad foods? thanks
