If you've done research on MCAS, you know it can cause a raft of different symptoms, including neurological. What foods are you restricted from eating?

I believe that excess histamine is at the core of all my strange neurological symptom. You are the only other person I've heard describe this symptom I have..."episodes of numbness, itching and crawling sensation in my temple/scalp area." This is the first sign that I've eaten something I shouldn't. In short order, tinnitus sets in, and then a widespread vibrating/burning, rushing sensation that can run from head to toe. This usually lasts throughout the day and often impacts my sleep. The next morning, tinnitus will be the only lingering symptom, aside from the ever-present neuropathy in my lower legs and feet.

I'm still trying to figure exactly what substance or substances in foods I'm sensitive to. I believe salicylates are enemy number one, but given that I just found out I have a large kidney stone, oxalates are on the table too.
