This is a video with Dr. Jill Carnahan about MCAS. She has overcome breast cancer, Crohn's disease and mold illness. She is a practicing Functional Medicine Doctor in Louisville, Colorado and is in fantastic health now!

She talks about symptoms, triggers, testing and treatments- (over the counter drugs, prescription drugs and natural treatments). I don't have MCAS, but I do have histamine issues though and found this very informative and could relate to a lot of what she was saying.
