Hey folks,
For those who are undiagnosed struggling with IBD symptoms, I wanted to make you aware I got a diagnosis after seeing many doctors of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). This autoimmune condition causes reactions to everyday things like most foods, perfumes, cleaning products amongst others.
It's rare and you probably don't have it, but I'm making you aware that if you've struggled with significant undiagnosed IBD-like symptoms + weight loss/gain, this should be taken into account by your doctor. SIBO (Small Intestine Bacterial Overgrowth) makes it worse, but it's not the root cause.
Hope this helps! Happy holidays.
