Mast Cell Stabilizers
Has anyone been able to successfully decrease their sensitivity to alpha-gal by taking a prescribed Mast Cell Stabilizer?
I asked my allergist about it and she thought it might be a good idea, also because I seem to have some form of mast cell dysfunction other than just IgE reactions, although I‘d want to wait since I am pregnant, unless my reactions to accidental exposures get more severe.
I particularly am frustrated with still reacting to all mammal byproducts, even normal sugar, which is worsened by vocal chord dysfunction and HSD. I am tired of not being able to eat anything out (as im sure many of you are) and not being able to eat anything someone makes for me because most people don’t know how to not cross contaminate and I don’t want them to go into all the trouble of cooking just for me to see them using a cast iron pan and go “I am so sorry, I can’t eat this”. It’s really frustrating because I can’t even show them I appreciate their cooking and everyone is nice about it but I feel so rude bringing my own food everywhere. And it’s really time consuming to have to make everything at home and then leave events early because I have to go home.
I also really want to eat dairy again. That’s my goal, but at the very least not being so sensitive to cross contamination would help. Just curious if anyone has had any improvement with any of those medications such as Xolair (Omalizumab) or Cromolyn? Thanks ahead of time!
