Absolutely propose it……but I will tell you that the Mast Cell Activation problem is not very well understood by medical doctors since the treatment for it is diet change! To get all the info you need for that you could just go to either site I mentioned. The Mayo Clinic actually advised me to go to Beth O’Hara site so they are clearly comfortable about her. She is amazing! But her colleague is Dr Becky Campbell and they have worked together on different things. The thing you need to know is that YOU have to figure out which thing is doing this to you by process of elimination. I started by going on their elimination diet and then adding back one food at a time. I would write down any reaction and eliminate that food……you start w NO gluten, sugar, breads, carbohydrates….and only certain vegetables. The list is on line. Everybody’s list is different though so I would go w either Beth’s or Becky’s because it’s too complicated to do by yourself! …..good luck!

My daughter has mast cell but no facial swelling. She does have hives without Xolair injections. Her Mayo doctor put her on cromolyn sodium, a mast cell stabilizer.
