What is the Difference Between MCAS and Histamine Intolerance
The key difference between MCAS and histamine intolerance is that MCAS is an immunological condition where mast cells inappropriately release excessive chemical mediators, while histamine intolerance is a condition where dietary histamine accumulates in the body.
Histamine is a nitrogenous compound involved in local immune responses in the human body. It also regulates physiological functions, acting as a neurotransmitter for the brain, spinal cord, and uterus. It was discovered in 1910.
