I have a MCAS diagnosis and have been on both H1 (allegra) + H2 (Zantac) blockers 2x/day for several months now, per recommendation from my ME & Lyme doctors. In addition I'm taking quercetin and neuroprotek. This protocol seems to be helping slightly with symptoms (most of all itchiness).
In addition to MCAS, I also have gut dysbiosis. When I consulted with my naturopathic doctor, it was her view that the H2 blockers do more harm than help to my body overall (while they help calm down MCAS, they disrupt the gut flora significantly).
Does anyone have a strong opinion about whether H2 antihistamines are worth it when you have gut dysbiosis and MCAS? Are there any alternatives to H2 blockers that don't disrupt gut flora?
