I too have food allergies, nothing like yours but I certainly understand your situation. I make a joke and tell people I am allergic to 3 of the 4 main food groups, corn, chocolate and beer, they get a laugh out of it, but it really isn't funny because it is true.

It isn't fun having to be careful, read labels and ask question constantly. Even worse is my sensitivity to food chemicals, I am sure you have looked into that. I pray the doctors in Boston can come up with an answer for you. God keep you safe on your trip.

It’s a mast cell disorder. Not the more common mastocytosis. It’s called Mast Cell Activation Disorder (Syndrome).

I have a diagnosis, which really is a relief. At least now I know what I’m dealing with.

The problem is what to do about it- how to treat it.
