The Histamine Bucket Theory

The Histamine Bucket Theory

So why can sometimes you and I can tolerate some foods and other times we can not? I mean even the same food! Why are some scents tolerated and other times they are not (same scent), and so on and on… one day it’s ok the next it is not….

This always baffled me and made me feel crazy. I love grapes and then one day had this huge lung, respiratory reaction to grapes… or so I thought. I guess the grapes were the tipping of the bucket. What bucket? I did not know this until I read it on Mast Cell Action but it’s called The Histamie Bucket Theory.

This helped me understand that while the grapes might not have been the culprit to my ER visit but the tipping point of my bucket. I want a bigger bucket!

I wish getting a bigger bucket was that easy. So knowing this it seems maybe I can eat some grapes then head to bed but not eat grapes and go for a walk in the heat. Dang…. still hard to wrap my head around. If you have anything that helped you understand these symptoms or triggers better please let us know.

Thank you MastCellAction.org!

Too Much – LET’S CHAT
It certainly is too much for me many days! I am NOT a doctor but have been living with MCAS for decades before even knowing what it was. Always wish, I could get support (a little talk therapy) during all this trial and error. Even once I found a doctor (which I love, love, love) I still found it hard to talk through things as appointments are so far out.
