if you're curious about what makes it all worth it after a long day. its patient messages like this

food is a common trigger for autoimmune diseases. its usually because large proteins either dont get broken down appropriately or they look like our own proteins, which causes an autoimmune reaction.

its important to understand though that not all people have food triggers. and that careful elimination should be done to help identify dietary triggers for autoimmune reactions

treatments for MCAS and autoimmune diseases differ. Histamine blockers and mast cell stabilizers are commonly used to help improve histamine, while immunosuppressants are often used to control autoimmune diseases.

these can also help you differentiate between which symptoms are caused by what so you can tell which condition is affecting which symptoms.

what are the lab differences between MCAS and autoimmunity. thats tricky

a lot of histamine markers in the blood break down quickly and so are not reliable markers. and you can readily measure histamine levels in the tissues.

autoimmune diseases are limited to antibody testing and general inflammatory markers that arent always elevated in those worh autoimmune diseases.

so with all conditions, we need to take both the abs and symptoms into consideration.

what is the difference between MCAS and autoimmune symptoms? that can be hard to tell

MCAS can have classic histamine symptoms like itching or sneezing. But in other places it can look like joint pain or muscle pain.

Timing is also important. histamine reactions are faster (minutes anf hours) where autoimmune diseases are hours and days. AI diseases are also often worse in the night and morning and better with movement

10/03/2025

MCAS and Autoimmune reactions are different in the type of inflammation being produced. AI diseases produce more cytokines and antibodies and MCAS produces more histamine

you cant treat them the same but they might produce similar symptoms (more on that later). so figuring out which symptoms are MCAS and which are autoimmune are tricky but necessary

Replying to how do GI symptoms impact autoimmune diseases? in a LOT of ways.

approximately 70 to 80%of the immune system is in the GI tract. so anything that flares the immune system like food, bacteria, fungi, viruses can lead to flares in autoimmune diseases.

more videos on the specifics of this coming up! I'll be at the GastroANP conference this weekend and ill be sharing some of the clinical pearls i pick up along the way!

why are doctors and Healthcare providers leaving medicine in droves? this one physicians answer was because they lack autonomy. which means they have to compromise patient care

what are your thoughts? why are doctors leaving?

what are the most common thyroid symptoms? these can happen even when TSH is normal if T4 and T3 are off (see my previous video).

09/11/2025

what labs combinations for the thyroid contribute to hypothyroid and hyperthyroid symptoms? you need to measure the minimum of TSH, free T3 and Free T4 to get a better understanding of what is going on

09/10/2025

what do your thyroid labs mean? a lot of people have hypothyroidism symptoms even when their labs are normal. why is that?
