Do mast cell disorders cause weight gain - directly or indirectly? If so, what is the mechanism?

I could see how weight gain can make inflammation & a mast cell disorder worst, but I'm wonder about the reverse, too.... I can remember something in my energy shifted when I was a kid, and I started gaining weight and having mast cell disorder symptoms....
