Is it possible to have inherited MCAS (AuDHD, hypermobility) and eat gluten regularly?
I recently found out I have MCAS, it helped to explain so much in my life and my boys. I have 2 sons, 8 and 10years old - they also have hypermobility and neurodivergence. Their MCAS shows up as chronic runny noses or coughs, complete meltdowns if they so much as look as chocolate. They've been avoiding gluten for the past few years - since a doctor said that their constipation could be helped with a gluten free diet.
But they are looking skinny and I don't want to restrict them unnecessarily, if I give them a gentle laxative like forlax do you think I could relax my gluten free rules a bit?
I am seeing my MCAS doctor next week and I'll book in to see their pediatrician soon too. I'm asking here because I don't trust doctors to have all the answers, and I'd like to know if there something else I should be considering or asking about. Thanks
