Comparing Cromolyn vs Ventolin HFA

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.

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 COPD, Maintenance: My main complaint is that the inhaler seems to be empty before the 200 puffs are used. It seems to help well for the first 150 to 175 puffs, then stops feeling effective. I carefully following how to use it & don't know why I am not getting the right dosage throughout.

For COPD, Maintenance: My husband has COPD and our doctor recently changed his albuterol inhaler to Ventolin. His other one was not working like it should. He has been on the Ventolin for about 2 weeks and it works great. He does not have to use it as much and it lasts much longer than his previous one. He loves this inhaler.
