Hi I'm Monique. I'm not 100% sure if I have Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) or a really bad case of multiple food allergies.

Hi hi hi, First please realize that sometime food allergies are interrelated. For example, I had been allergic to tree nuts and through this learned that many stone fruits are in the same family, as were several herbs and spices .... hence, I had to do elimination challenges on those fruits or get skin tested again. Since it wasn't an overwhelming list, we opted on food challenges. Over the last dozen years, that allergy has disappeared from my system with the exception of mango.

You might learn new information about various foods that can help.
Good luck and G bless 💚🤟🏻🧡
