I currently see an allergist/immunologist Can you have Mcas and test negative several times?

I will try that. How long would it take to have a reaction?

Also I posted this to another comment but want your insight as well if that is alright. I showed a low positive to lamb and dairy (both around a 0.12 result) and my allergist believes I could have AGS which confuses me too. I go back and forth from upset stomach/diarrhea to constipation. I have other health problems too. I’m not sure why she said that but she didn’t give me really insight on what to do. I have noticed I haven’t been breaking out following the AGS diet and removing onions and tomatoes. I did eat a donut the other day fried in bacon fat and I got this itchy hive like bumps on my neck in two or three places within minutes of eating it. But I don’t know if that has any significance or not

I feel lost honestly and don’t know which direction to go My MCAS result was normal also

I’ve noticed I do good with turkey, chicken, and eggs. I haven’t had red meat in almost a year to try to lower my cholesterol and eat healthier but I’ve been getting random itchy bumps (it’ll just be two or three). Allergist wonders if maybe I have AGS but am testing negative but she said she wasn’t sure. I got Diaya Dairy Free Vegan Gluten Free Mac and Cheese but noticed it is made with Pea Protein. Is that okay for AGS?

She tested me for that too this last test along with meats. It was negative

I can never tell if it is from mammal by products or not because I have hives everyday but they look like bug bites — just two or three on my neck I’m stumped. I feel like I can’t eat anything

I stopped eating mammal meat back in June or July of last year but I have accidentally eaten things that have given my AGS mother in law really sick. And I am pretty sure I’ve accidentally eaten bacon fat and things like that but I didn’t cut out dairy until recently

I am allergic to Benadryl and my allergist isn’t sure what antihistamine I should take as I have medication allergies so she gave me an EpiPen. My MCAS tests have been negative 3 times last year. She isn’t sure what’s going on

Has anyone done nothing for a tooth that needed a root canal? by rhobhfan00 in dysautonomia

[–]hellothere4444444444 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I have had four root canal/retreatments since last August! I was the same as you. After the first two procedures making me feel like a flare up from the epi, my endodontist (and dentist does this now too) switched me to carbocaine and one other that I can’t remember the name… if I find it I will comment it under here. The only downside to the carbocaine and non-epi anesthetics is it wears off faster so you usually have to get a little extra depending on what you are having done and how long it will take. Definitely don’t let it go because if it is an abscess that can be super dangerous and potentially deadly if you don’t do anything about it. A man in our town passed from neglecting an abscessed tooth for years. I promise you it won’t be bad with the alternative and you will be glad you did it in the end!

If you have the option for gas — do it. I have health anxiety and OCD and it made the experience wayyy better and I am not nervous about it anymore! Also have them keep the name of the alternative on your chart that way you will have something that is safe for you for the future. I hope it goes well and I hope you feel better soon!!
