Hi there,

I’m not sure if my gut symptoms are the same.
best Jill

Hi Jill, have you tried the basic mast cell medications yet (most of us start with double dose Zantac/Zyrtec and add Cromolyn or Ketotifen if we respond. What you describe sounds suspiciously like a mast cell reaction (speaking from one patient to another). “IBS” is a non-diagnosis as far as I’m concerned, Hon. It means the docs just don’t know what’s causing it! Will you let us know about the mast cell meds? Big hug, Diana
