On your suggestion I am now taking Oral Cromolyn. Too soon to say if it's making a difference.

Mimioto, are you symptoms still better and are you still taking it?

I think it's important to take on empty stomach prior to eating. Eating lunch or dinner really triggers an immediate mucus response that takes around an hour to settle down. I hope that if I can remember to pre-medicate with Oral Cromolyn these symptoms will improve.

Thanks for taking my suggestion on cromolyn to address mast cell activation as a type of long conid and taking it a step forward.

Hi, yes I am still taking it. And yes from what I understand it binds to the first thing it comes into contact with so if that is food it’s wasted. On an empty stomach it will bind to the mucosal cells. I can say that I’m better now after two months but still dealing with upper respiratory, throat and head phlegm and congestion with some foods more than others but still in the process of narrowing down real triggers. Soy is a definite. Nuts except almonds. Skin allergy tests were crazy, indicating typical foods that don’t seem to bother me and negative on some foods that do. I never had allergies before. Yesterday I had an endoscopy and the doc biopsied 10 ulcers in my stomach and one in my upper esophagus. A week or so for those results. This is two years for me next month. I never had heartburn and it took me quite some time to convince doctors there really was a problem and that I had followed meds and diet instructions but it didn’t really matter what went into my stomach I reacted in the same way. Once it went into constant nausea I was taken a little more seriously.

I hope it can be resolved and I hope yours does too. Good luck to you. Thanks for following up.
