William Chey: Mast cell activation occurs with stress (chronic) & dysbiosis in #IBS. Cromolyn sodium helps to paint a picture of how it improved “symptoms” in IBS. “Symptoms” are not specific from based on an old study. Does cromolyn sodium reduce MC activation? #foodthemaincourse

William Chey: MC stabilizers may be helpful; H1 antagonists also reduce symptoms. TCA’s also exhibit anti-histaminic properties (ATLANTIS study Alexander Ford) #foodthemaincourse
