Here’s a two-week meal plan for MCAS. Deciding what to eat each day on a special diet can be stressful! With a little pre-planning, you can eliminate the stress and anxiety and have meals in the freezer ready to go when mealtime rolls around.

Sample Meal Plan
Here is a sample of two weeks of menu plans with the foods I prepare for my particular diet. Keep in mind that my food intolerances are going to be different than yours. Recipes are linked. These meals are relatively low-histamine, low oxalate, gluten-free, nightshade-free, lectin-free, and somewhat low-Salicylate. Keep in mind that what is low histamine for one person is not necessarily low histamine for someone else. That’s why it is so important to log your foods and reactions and determine your own list of tolerated foods.
I seem to tolerate Salicylates fairly well, so if you have salicylate issues you will want to substitute other ingredients for the avocados, macadamia nuts, pistachio nuts, pine nuts, and many of the spices in these meals. Some of the foods that are prized for their histamine-lowering qualities (asparagus for instance) are high on the low FODMAP diet, so if you have FODMAP issues you will want to make substitutions as well. Similarly, if you are trying to follow an AIP diet you will want to avoid eggs, dairy, nuts, and seeds. I seem to tolerate eggs just fine, though I know that many people with MCAS cannot, so that is another area to make appropriate substitutions for your particular dietary needs. Flax or chia eggs can be an easy substitution in most recipes.
Do you know your typical symptom progression?
One of the keys to understanding the level of your bucket is knowing your symptom progression. It is helpful to keep track of the symptoms you are having and to evaluate whether they are escalating. Symptom escalation means that the level of your bucket is rising.
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.

The Safe and Sound Protocol (SSP) is a listening therapy based on Polyvagal Theory that helps heal nervous system regulation. Many people with MCAS have nervous system dysregulation stemming from infections, toxic exposures, concussions, and trauma. The SSP is an easy-to-use app where you listen to specially filtered music for 30 minutes each day for a 5-hour cycle. Studies show the SSP has a profound effect on mental health and chronic conditions
