jenwic Posted April 28, 2011 Report Share Posted April 28, 2011 Does anyone else have food/medications sensitivities (not allergies)? Do you have POTS alone or MCAD too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darlene Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I do not eat any foods containing msg's, nitrates, or fake sugar. I have never been tested for MCAD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
songcanary Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I have many medication sensitivities, in that they give me really bad nausea. I also have lots of true allergies to both meds and foods. I have orthostatic hypotension but no POTS, and am suspicious of MCAD but haven't been tested. Yet.

Sarah4444 Posted April 29, 2011 Report Share Posted April 29, 2011 I suspect I may have more food sensitivites than I realize. I know I have trouble with msg, and am avoiding gluten - but I have trouble eating at all early in the day, and after meals tend to flush. I don't know if this is because of particular foods I am eating or the result of eating itself. When I was very ill I had severe reactions to what I now know are high histamine foods (ie eggplant, canned tuna). I also came across a list of foods very high in histamine (champagne, beer, sauerkraut, etc) and realize I have been avoiding those instinctively my whole life.
