Summary
Quail 48323, a 42-year-old man with ME/CFS, MCAS, POTS, hEDS, Hashimoto's, SIBO and CIRS, described extreme sensitivity to medications, foods and screens, reacting paradoxically even to micro-dosed drugs. He could not treat his mould-related illness because his mast cell reactions were too severe, and could not calm the mast cells because he tolerated almost no treatment. He had spent months to years on the Gupta Program, yoga, meditation and breathwork.

- Allegra · Not said
The only oral items I tolerate are minimally processed by the liver (Allegra, DAO, molybdenum).
In context ↗ - quercetin · Not said
I can take quercetin, but only 1–2 capsules a day spread over hours. Exceeding that triggers urinary urgency, anxiety, and a "wired" nervous system state.
