Talking about my MCAS diagnosis - and the medicine's I'm taking (and failed)
Hi, Thanks for watching my video. About a year and a half ago, I was finally diagnosed with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). This video covers what my symptoms were, how I got diagnosed, and what medicine's I've tried (and failed). I'm hoping this will help others with salicylate sensitivity explore if MCAS may be a better-suited diagnosis, and if some over the counter medicines could help manage symptoms. - This is provided for educational purposes, and not to help with a diagnosis.

A full list of products mentioned are linked to the blog notes with a full transcript at https://low-sal-life.com/talking-abou.... - Salicylates are natural chemicals (similar to aspirin) that occur in low doses of fruits, veggies, oils, fragrances, and cleaners. Some people (like me) are sensitive or intolerant. In many, a histamine reaction occurs, triggering an allergic-type reaction and making us sick. A low-salicylate diet has provided relief for many suffering from the condition. _ Find on Low-sal-life references to: • Food and Products List: https://low-sal-life.com/food-product... • Book Lists: https://low-sal-life.com/living-life/... • Research Pages: https://low-sal-life.com/research • Food/Product Directory: https://low-sal-life.com/food-product... - Find me elsewhere at • Buy me a decaf coffee: https://www.buymeacoffee.com/lowsallife • Instagram: / low_sal_life • Email me: [email protected] - Always consult with your doctor and/or dietician before beginning dietary investigation into a food intolerance.
