What tests are recommended for histamine intolerance/Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)?

Please consider the following,

 

  • Food Allergy Panel -- to gain insight into current IgE reactive foods
  • Total Immunoglobulins -- if total IgE is elevated, parasites may be playing a role in immune activation
  • Gut Zoomer -- to investigate how the gut microbiome is impacting the immune system (70% of the body’s immune system is located in the gut). Additionally, some research suggests that a greater abundance of histamine-secreting bacteria in the gut could lead to the development of histamine intolerance. May also address the history viral, bacterial, fungal issues
  • Total Tox -- to provide insight into total toxin burden. Chronic toxin exposure could trigger the body's mast cells to release histamine.
  • Wheat Zoomer -- to investigate possible leaky gut and to observe if gluten consumption in those sensitive to gluten may trigger a histamine response
  • Food Sensitivity IgA/IgG -- if leaky gut is present, multiple food sensitivities is likely and may trigger histamine intolerance in sensitive individuals. FS can inform a personalized anti-inflammatory diet (i.e. eating only the lowest reactive foods), which can reduce body burden, inflammation, and symptoms that may be attributing to poor memory and skin issues
  • Neurotransmitters -- includes histamine levels
