Possibly helpful for MCAS

First of all, I have mild MCAS. My own experiences may not apply to moderate and severe MCAS.


Potential herbal / supplemental mastcell stabilisers:
- Quercetin
- Dihydroquercetin (active for viruses aswell, may cause herx or worsening in sensitive patients)
- Black Seed Oil  (is anti-inflammatory, is said to target candida aswell, you may feel sensitive to it at first)
- Curcumin / Turmeric (caution: MAO-Inhibitor, interferes with most Antidepressants, has immune modulatory effects so you might use with caution)
- Boswellia (may surpress th1-immune answers, this may be unwanted)
- Lactoferrin (!breaks biofilm!)
- L-Theanine
- Myrrh
- Milk Thistle
- Reservertrol (may cause herx)

Drug remedies:
- Cromoglicic Acid (Cromolyn) food MCAS reactions on food - very helpful for me
- Antihistamines (usually block H1 Receptors only, many MCAS patients state however they need H1 aswell as H2 blockage to feel an effect)
- H2-Antihistamines: Pepcid is a good example here (caution: pepcid also reduces stomach acid, this might be wanted in reflux but unwanted in candida)
- Ketotifen
- placeholder
- more will follow.

In my personal experience Black seed oil, quercetin, dihydroquercetin and cromolyn work pretty well for me but as I stated my MCAS isnt very bad at all.
I would be happy if someone with severe MCAS could join in and help me complete this list
