Hi Dr Diana,
Do you have any good links/or explanation for what mast cells are and how/why top treat them? A quick search on Google brings up a lot on treating mast cell tumours in dogs :-/

I’m currently doing the FODMAP diet which is lactose, gluten and some fruit/veg free – it’s helping my IBS a lot but I still wake up with a ‘stomach ache’ each morning that almost feels like my stomach has been clenched all night, if that doesn’t sound crazy.

I do feel that glandular fever was my trigger – I am almost certain it started my thyroid problems (it’s called GLANDular fever after all) as I’ve had fatigue and less-than-normal energy levels since that happened. I suffered quite badly with it for about 6 months.

Hmm, I have things such as Lymphocytes and Leucocytes if they are of help?

So, were you treated for Lyme or did you decide that something else was at the bottom of it all?
