Hello everyone!
I am currently taking zyrtec to help ease my mast cell symptoms but it’s not helping completely… I know that there are a few prescription medications that help with that… I was just wondering if anyone had luck with any specific one? I just discussed this with my POTS specialist today and could use a little advice. I think one is called gastrocrom if I remember correctly?Also I just found out that my cortisol levels are completely out of whack and I have an over production of yeast in my gut. The dr said that my stool sample showed inflammation so she said I have colitis… I am extremely constipated and my abdomen is distended and I look pregnant. It is very painful.
I know all of this is related.
Thank you.Kelly
Gastrocrom is one. Ketitofen is the other most often used prescription.
You can try over-the-counter Zantac, Pepcid, Tagamet, or generics of them. Zantac is taken with the Zyrtec, not instead.
Kelly, if your gut is inflamed, you may also need some Zantac (it works on the histamine receptors in your gut). 😉
I am currently taking omeprazole (prilosec) because my neurologist as a preventive for acid reflux due to the number of pills I take. If I take the Zyrtec and Zantac does it make sense to continue with the omeprazole? I truly believe I have some type of mast cell disorder, and would prefer to try the Zyrtec and Zantac instead of going down the road of aggravation and disappointment seeing another doctor that will not understand and just dismiss the problem.
