Histamine Intolerance vs MCAS: How to Calm Down Reactions - Dr. Indra Barathan

Have you suddenly become "allergic" to foods you've eaten your whole life, like avocado, wine, kimchi, or last night's leftovers? Or are you dealing with random headaches, flushing, brain fog, or a stuffy nose, and nobody can tell you why?

We cover:

Why you're suddenly reacting to "healthy" foods you've eaten forever, and why it's usually not a new allergy

The hormone that acts like your body's natural antihistamine

The "histamine bucket" idea that explains why the same food triggers you one day and not the next

The real difference between histamine intolerance and MCAS

The root cause approach that calms the whole system down instead of just chasing one symptom at a time
