For Systemic Mastocytosis: My daughter has been using this for her Mast Cell Activation Disorder (MCAD) since 2010, and it is a miracle! She gained 30 pounds in 6 months because she was finally able to absorb her food, thanks to the Gastrocrom. She is on a lot of different medications, but Gastrocrom was the one that finally tied everything together and started her on stable path. |

For Systemic Mastocytosis: This has been a great medication and has made me feel much better. If you take too much at one time it can upset your stomach. |

For Systemic Mastocytosis: This has been a great Rx for me in controlling my Medium-chain acyl-CoA dehydrogenase (MCAD) deficiency symptoms. The main one it has controlled is the stomach troubles. One thing I do notice is, when I started and whenever I increase my dosage I get a terrible stomach ache. This only lasts for the first couple days though and then it subsides. Good luck to you.
