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 experience often 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 histamine and histamine-releasing foods, lower in oxalates, and free of nightshades, grains, dairy, soy, and gluten. Eating a diet lower in carbs and 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’s the recipe for lower histamine chewy oat chip cookies
Lower Histamine Chewy Oat Chip Cookies
Ingredients
- 4 large Medjool dates, pitted and finely chopped
- 1 tbsp flax meal
- ¼ cup plus 1 tbsp boiling water
- ¼ cup maple sugar
- 1 cup raw sprouted oats
- 3 tbsp coconut flour
- 1 tsp baking soda
- ½ cup sunflower butter
- ¼ cup coconut oil melted and cooled slightly
- ⅓ cup ChocZero sugar-free chocolate chips
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 350 °F. Line a baking tray with a Silpat or baking paper. Set aside.
- In the cup of a high-speed blender, combine the chopped dates, flax meal, and boiling water. Stir well to combine and set aside for 10 minutes. Blend the mixture for about 30 seconds until smooth.
- Place the dry ingredients into a separate medium-sized bowl and stir to combine. Add the coconut oil and sun butter to the bowl. Add the date mixture and stir to combine. Stir in the chocolate chips.
- Using a cookie scoop or two tablespoons, place the cookies with about 1.5 tbsp of dough 2 inches apart on the prepared baking tray.
- Bake for 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the oven and cool for ten minutes before handling the cookies. Store in an airtight container in the freezer, or serve immediately. The cookies may turn green due to the reaction between sun butter and baking soda, but they are perfectly edible!
