    This is the best video I have seen so far on these frustrating issues. Thank you for taking the time doc. Your depth of care in responding to comments is so appreciated too. Wish you were in my neighbourhood in Australia. We need more of you

    I developed this as an allergic reaction to the covid vaccine... I have been suffering with this for 2 y and a half. I am taking antihistamine to help and I am on low histamine diet, gluten and lacto free and no processed food but I still get symptoms from any physical effort or stress etc... my symptoms: brain Inflammation, dizziness, nausea, brain fog, confusion, disorientation, shaking, twitching, neck problems, gluten intolernace, lacto allergy intolerance and histamine intolerance. if I eat something high in histamine I get bad brain fog, panic attacks, feels like my blood pressure is going crazy.. the reactions are different depends on what I do and what I eat. mainly the brain fog is the issue that gets worse when I walk or eat more food and it gives me confusion and disorientation... I really hope that there is a fix for this.
  • I have mcas but now I have a fear of eating incase I am ill again 😔 sweet potato is the only food i will willingly eat now
  • @sharon6871
    This video describes me to a "T" and have been suffering from symptoms for decades 😢 Thank you for explaining it so easily and completely ❤
  • @MichaelMerritt
    Thank you for calling out EMF’s. That’s a very real trigger for me and it gets pretty exhausting hearing people and Dr’s not believe it’s real. They cause inflammation and trigger flares, it’s black and white for me and would be for others that experience it too.
  • @selenegold7041
    Just...wow! Informative, concise, easy to understand, thorough. You deserve an award!! Thank you for all of your research, time and editing. You've created an extremely helpful video.
  • @frangaglio1269
    Best video! You know how to explain it well and the pictures work well with it.
  • @benpierce2202
    Brilliant, logical explanations. I've heard many vids on MCAS, methylation et al. This is the best. Thank you for doing your videos.
  • @cindilacasa3291
    Awesome video!! I've shared it with a few of my family members that just dont understand what I"m going through. Thank Yo so much!!
  • Thank you Dr. Rajsree. This is the best information on MCAS i have found. Having MCAS i do find this video incredibly helpful. Thanks a lot for your hard work and information you shared. ❤🎉🎉🎉
  • @cookinmom35
    Amazingly helpful video! I was just diagnosed with Classical EDS today (which I was expecting). What I didn't expect was that my practitioner said in all likelihood I also have MCAS! So I've been prescribed H1 and H2 inhibitors plus Prevacid for a month and we'll go from there. This video explained things so that the average person can have a better understanding of what we've been experiencing so thank you so much for that. I'll also be sharing this video with my family members who I now believe are dealing with this as well!
  • I got MCAS post covid, my throat and mouth were ´burning´ for 8 months until I got on Cromolyn, its life saver. Also, Ketotifen helps me a lot and Quercetin. I wish it could just go away though. I had inflamed thyroid and still have pain in bones and joints, the only thing ever helped was Prednisone 40 mg. Still on my way to proper treatment, its been 4 yrs
  • @tacocat8608
    Amazing video. Best one I've seen on the subject. Thank you for producing this. I wish I could get my doctor to watch it. I've seen nearly a dozen providers, including four immunologists, and none of them know any of this. I will definitely check out your store. I need to heal my gut. I react to almost everything. By the way, what are your thoughts on Black Seed Oil (Nigela Sativa)? Helpful for MCAS or no?
  • Hi Dr, this was a very great and complete video ( exposé). I just recognised myself and all the membres of my family. Unfortunately many doctors dont know thé mcas ans they must of thé Time get anoyed during thé consultation and just dismiss us. It is really difficult to find one that is knowledgeable in this area. Anyway i will keep surching until i find the help i need. Thank you very much for this Great video that i Hope will help Many of us suffering from MCAS . God bless you and your family
