Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS)

Unexplained allergic reactions, itching, or inflammation that flare up without a clear trigger could point to Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS). At Mindspark Health, our functional and integrative approach helps identify the underlying triggers and bring your body back into balance, available via telehealth in California, Arizona, Nevada, Oregon, and Washington.

What is MCAS?

Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) occurs when the body’s mast cells, part of your immune system, release too many chemical mediators (like histamine) too often or inappropriately. This constant activation can cause a wide range of symptoms across multiple systems, often mimicking allergies, anxiety, or autoimmune conditions.

MCAS is frequently seen alongside Mold Illness (CIRS), Lyme disease, autoimmune disorders, and gut imbalances. Our clinic focuses on identifying these interconnections so that your treatment truly supports whole-body healing.

Common Symptoms of MCAS

MCAS can look different for everyone. Some of the most common symptoms include:

Flushing, itching, or skin rashes

Nasal congestion, sinus pressure, or shortness of breath

Rapid heartbeat or lightheadedness after eating or exposure

Digestive issues (bloating, nausea, food sensitivities)

Anxiety, depression, or mood swings

Cold intolerance or temperature sensitivity

Joint or muscle pain

Reactions to food, medications, or fragrances

If you’ve been told “everything looks normal” despite these symptoms, MCAS may be the missing piece.
