Testing for MCAS: Why It’s Tricky

There’s no single test that can confirm MCAS. Many standard lab tests come back normal—even when a child is clearly experiencing a reaction.

"It shouldn’t be so hard to get help for your child."

We hear this every day—and we feel it, too. Parents shouldn’t have to fight for answers, for empathy, or for real solutions. Yet so many do.

At Covenant, we do things differently. We listen. We test. We connect the dots between symptoms that others dismiss—and we help your child move toward healing, not just management.
If you’ve been told, “There’s nothing you can do,” don’t give up.

There’s always a why, and we’re here to help you find it.

When the CDC removed crawling as a developmental milestone and extended timelines for walking and talking, it created the risk of missing early signs of delay.

Crawling isn’t “optional.” It’s a critical step in brain and nervous system development—helping to integrate both sides of the brain, strengthen the core and shoulders, develop visual tracking, and build the foundation for coordination, balance, and learning skills later on.

Likewise, walking and talking reflect neurological maturity, not just muscle or mouth development. When these milestones are delayed, it’s often a sign the brain and body need extra support — not “a new normal.”

At Covenant, we don’t ignore these early red flags. We help parents understand why milestones matter and how to support healthy development through movement, nutrition, and nervous system balance.

Because when we support development early, everything else gets easier.

I don’t know who needs to hear this, but babies need adjustments, too.

→ Birth is hard work. Gentle, specific pediatric chiropractic care helps restore balance to the nervous system right from the start.

NEW BLOG!

Chronic rashes, food reactions, brain fog, belly pain, sudden mood swings... and nothing ever shows up on the labs?

It might be Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS).

In kids with PANS, autism, EDS, and chronic infections, MCAS can fuel a wide range of symptoms—but it’s often missed or misunderstood.

In our latest blog, we go beyond the basics and break down:

✅ What testing can (and can’t) tell you
✅ Common MCAS triggers in complex kids
✅ Which supplements and medications may help
✅ How we approach mast cell issues as part of the bigger picture of healing

💡 Hint: If your child “overreacts to everything”... it might not be their personality. It might be their mast cells.

In our last post, we introduced Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)—a condition where the body’s immune cells release inflammatory chemicals at the wrong time, causing a wide range of confusing symptoms.
