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 low in carbs, higher in fat, protein, and fiber, while still being lower in histamine and histamine-releasing foods, lower in oxalates, and free of nightshades, grains, 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!

Ingredient notes for zucchini flour

You need fresh zucchini for this recipe, and the larger the better! This recipe is perfect for using up garden-fresh zucchini that has grown too big for other recipes.

One large zucchini dehydrates down to about 1/4 cup flour!

Zucchini Flour

Keyword dairy-free, egg-free, gluten-free, grain-free
Prep Time 1 day
Servings 1

Equipment

  • dehydrator

Ingredients

  • 1 large fresh zucchini

Instructions

  • Wash the zucchini and pat it dry. Slice off the ends. Grate the zucchini. Arrange the grated zucchini on the trays of a dehydrator. Dehydrate for 24 hours at 135 °F, or until completely dry.
  • Turn off the dehydrator and allow the zucchini to cool. Place the dried zucchini shreds in the container of a cup blender and blend for about 1 minute until powdery. Wait a minute before opening the blender so the dust doesn't go everywhere. Keep in an airtight container with a moisture absorber, or use it in recipes immediately.

The bucket theory

The bucket theory offers a helpful analogy for understanding symptom reactions with MCAS. Think of your body as an empty bucket 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 rescue plan. In this post, I discuss how to determine your symptom progression. Once you know what typically happens in your symptom progression you can design a rescue plan to address those symptoms.
