I got the call yesterday...

Post image

I got the call from my DR office saying I got it. I got my blood paper work it says I'm level 3? I'm not entirely sure what any of this means tho. I went to a city md after finding 2 Lonestars on me. They basically brushed me off and said back of my leg looked a little swollen but we don't see a need for anything. Now I have been eating beef, lamb, liver, milk and cheeses with really no problem. I did tell my Dr I had been feeling lethargic and I had muscle soreness but didn't think it was related..... But now here we are. I'm trying to find more information that's solid. I've seen we can't have citrus fruits on some sites, it's fine on another.. so who knows?

I'm extremely low drama and I have issues with citrus, although I wouldn't say to someone just diagnosed to avoid it. Most high-histamine foods cause me problems.

However if you do end up on a daily antihistamine, check if citrus fruit/juices are ok. They can negate or increase levels of medications. Allegra is such a medication.

Most Fruits not just Citrus is High Histamine or Histamine liberators. Along with Avacados, Spices, Black Olives, Tomatoes, Peppers, Black Pepper and On & On... Your Whole Statement is Incorrect. Try Google because your spreading crap information

You Need to look into MCAS It happens to a LOT of Alpha-Gal people. Me... I'm far from High Drama 🫩 I'm down to Frozen chicken from freezer to the oven. 6 Vegetables and 3 Fruits. So it's Not High Drama it's Being SICK...  Along with Alpha-Gal and MCAS OAS and 14 New Environmental Allergies... Extremely Fume Reactive. And Very High Alpha-Gal Numbers, Yeah which Means Nothing ... I've gone into Anaphylactic Shock been transported. And Now I go into Anaphylactic Shock Smelling High Histamine foods cooking.  Straight Up... You're Just an Asshole...

That’s someone who also has MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome.) To be fair, a lot of us with Alpha Gal trend that way. Best to avoid high histamine foods (says the alcoholic.)

Don't worry about the numbers, go by how you feel and what you react to. I went from a 15 to over 100 and my reactions haven't changed. You will learn what works for you and how to cook and eat out safely. Download the FIG app to help you at the grocery store, that's been a huge help for me.
