MCAS can affect every part of your body, and it's not well understood. Today I'm joined by dietitian Chloe Hall to talk about the digestive aspects of Mast Cell Activation Syndrome.

We covered:

• What is MCAS and how is it diagnosed
• Approaching your doctor, how to ask about MCAS
• Typical medical treatments for MCAS
• What is a low histamine diet and how to follow it
• The role of the gut microbiome in histamine clearance
• MCAS and small intestine bacterial overgrowth (SIBO)

Chloe also has extensive experience supporting individuals with co-existing conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Myalgic Encephalomyelitis/Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.

Chloe is particularly passionate about improving awareness and support for people living with MCAS, Long Covid, and PoTS, inspired by her husband's personal experience of these conditions.
