What is MCAS?
Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) is a chronic condition that affects all organ systems. MCAS is serious and disabling and people with MCAS often experience significant and debilitating symptoms daily, including anaphylaxis, which can be fatal.
MCAS is often found in combination with other chronic conditions such as Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) and Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS).
Frequently healthcare providers do not know about MCAS, and the tests for MCAS are problematic because they are not uniformly reliable. MCAS can be difficult to manage. Treatments include blocking mast cell mediators with anti-histamines and mast cell stabilizers, as well as avoiding triggers.
Check out this post on how to manage MCAS.
Why this recipe?
This recipe is lower in sulfur, lower in histamine and histamine-releasing foods, lower in oxalates, and free of nightshades, grains, dairy, eggs, and gluten. Eating a diet lower in inflammatory foods can help to control histamine intolerance. To learn more about the lower histamine diet click here!
The bucket theory
The bucket theory offers a helpful analogy for understanding symptom reactions with MCAS.Think of your body as an empty bucket that you want to keep from overflowing. Different foods and activities fill your histamine bucket at different speeds but they combine to form the total level of histamine in your body (how full your bucket is). A fuller bucket means you have more histamine symptoms. When you manage triggers, reduce exposure to known triggers, and take medications and supplements to reduce histamine, you can manage the level of your bucket.
Know your typical symptom progression
Knowing your symptom progression in a symptom flare is the key to developing your own rescue plan. In this post, I discuss how to determine your own symptom progression. Once you know what typically happens in your symptom progression you can design a rescue plan to address those symptoms.

Here is the recipe for lower sulfur salmon sweet potato bowls!
Lower Sulfur Salmon Sweet Potato Bowls
Equipment
- 2 sheet pans
Ingredients
- 2 tsp cumin
- 1 tsp sea salt, divided
- 1 medium sweet potato, not peeled diced in 1/2 inch pieces
- 4 salmon filets
- ½ fennel bulb sliced very thinly
- 4 tbsp olive oil divided
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- 1 tsp ground coriander
- 1 tbsp lime juice
- 1 avocado, diced (optional) for garnish
- 3 tbsp vegan mayonnaise (optional)
- ½ tsp sriracha (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375 °F.
- Place the salmon filets on a sheet pan drizzled with olive oil, flipping them over a few times to coat with the olive oil. Place them flesh-side up on the pan and sprinkle with ½ tsp. sea salt. Place the pan in the oven and roast for about 30 minutes.
- Place the diced sweet potatoes, 1 tbsp. olive oil, the cumin, and ½ tsp. salt in a large bowl. Toss until the sweet potatoes are evenly coated. Pour the mixture onto a sheet pan in a single layer and roast in the oven for about 30 minutes, stirring halfway, while you make the remaining ingredients.
- To make the fennel slaw: In a small bowl, combine the thinly sliced fennel, 1 tbsp. olive oil, the chopped cilantro, ⅙ tsp. sea salt, the coriander, and the lime juice. Stir together.
- Optional sauce: Stir together the vegan mayo and sriracha in a small bowl.
- Once the salmon and sweet potatoes are done, divide them evenly between four bowls. Serve with the fennel slaw, diced avocado, and optional sauce. Or freeze portions for later consumption.
Leftovers and reheating
Leftovers keep in the fridge for up to 5 days, but if you have histamine intolerance or MCAS you will want to freeze leftovers right away.
Freeze for up to 3 months.
To reheat, microwave for 2-3 minutes, depending on your microwave’s power. Or, place in a saucepan, over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until piping hot.
