Summary
A Reddit user in r/cfs described a food-triggered "digestion crash": after fried foods, takeout or too much sugar their Garmin shows high stress for 7+ hours and they get bad PEM, sometimes for days. Their doctor referred them to an allergist for MCAS, but the allergist said they did not fit the profile at all.
