This isn't controversial at this point, it's becoming the consensus, and it isn't news. But it gives me a chance to say: if you have real "allergy" problems but test negative for histamine/IgE allergies, say on a skin test; look into MCAS. Fair warning, your allergist may very well never have heard of it - doctors are rarely paid to read.

MCAS = Mast Cell Activation Syndrome MCAD (Mast Cell Activation Disorder) = MCAS or mastocytosis
