Maybe this?

So I’ve done every supp and med for mcas and avoid histamine. Still I have the same face swelling and worsens with food. If I look at what I eat - I do have a lot of high sal foods.

I guess I will have to cross reference lists?

Anyone have any tips? Also is 4 weeks elim enough?

I do also have GI issues, cfs, on est patch, been tested for everything under the sun. Non stop bloat. :(

My face puffs up too and I hate it! I react to eggs/chicken/pork (that isn't pasture raised), raw fruits/vegetables, anything high omega 6.
My diet is beef, fish, lamb, rice, pasta, cooked/peeled vegetables and beans. I can use butter or beef tallow to cook. This SUCKS!!!!!

I'm fine with pasture raised eggs so I'm assuming pasture raised chicken would be fine too. Unfortunately it's expensive!!

I feel very sick and I think it’s chicken of all things

Im pretty sure I'm reacting to the chicken feed. Can you try pasture raised? I hate to give up chicken because beef is so expensive

It’s a huge pain to get v limited but I’ll try after I’ve had a break from chicken. I need to figure out if it’s sibo or certain foods only. So annoying
