About 5 years ago, I starte..

Abdomen swelling normally occurs 2-3 hours after eating food like dairy prodeucts,wheat,corn,citrous fruit, mutton/lamb especially the juices are real bad. Sometime abdomen swells so much that breathing becomes difficult and it feels as if whole chest and head are under immense pressure. Upper Endoscopy and biopsy results revealed slight infection and no ulcer formation. Vibramycin was given with no effect.Zantac courses bore no result. Homeopathic treatment has not shown any improvement till today. I also have skin erruptions on my right lower leg, back, chest and hairy pelvis area for the last 10 years or so which is extremely itchy.The doctor says maybe it's 'psoraisis'. I have developed arteries disease (angina pectoris) since few years. It is not in major artries but three minor ones, as they say. So difficultis are there when I exert or overeat. What could be done. I am fed up with doctors, all kind of them as they just cant diagnose. Their interest is in their fees/costs. am 65

Have you ever been tested for systemic mastocytosis? Symptoms are very similar. Check out the websites below and see what you think.

www.tmsforacure.org (The Mastocytosis Society)

www.mastokids.org (Masto Kids - while the focus is on pediatric masto patients, much of the information also applies to adults)

One drug which is used to treat mastocytosis, oral cromolyn (sold in US as Gastrocrom), may help you. It is also prescribed sometimes for food allergies.
