Have you read the MCAS primer for gastroenterologist?
Have you compared the blood tests results you have vs the lab tests recommended in the guide? If there are missing test, consider asking your doctor to run the tests…
Sharing the guide with your doctor and working through the suggested steps really helped me get diagnosed. At this stage, you can work through this with a doctor who is willing to help, regardless of their knowledge of MCAS. Most MCAS specialists require you have started the process and have results that point to Mast Cell issues…

Hi. No I have not compared test as I didn’t know about them. I have seen 5 gastroenterologist and 3 allergist/immunologist over 14 years. Can you please tell me if Histamine intolerance and mCAS is the same? Every time I get blood work or 24 hour urine test I am not in a flare up. Shouldn’t the bloodwork or the 24 hour urine test be done when I’m in a huge flareup to get elevated numbers results?

Can you please send me the link for these labs as I’m not able to locate them. Thank you!
