I took Gas...Sorry that you're not feeling well! I took Gastrocrom for a while...it was nasty stuff! Not sure if it's changed at all but when I took it, it was expensive and only in liquid form 4 times daily! Not to mention the liquid tasted like metal. I don't know of any other medicines that stop mast cell production, but my doctor has me take 1-2 Claritin (or generic antihistamine) everyday. It really is only treating the secondary symptom (histamine release from the mast cells) but it has helped me. Let me know if you find a better medicine! Good luck!

My doc prescribed Gastrocrom, but with insurance it's $700 for 24 days. Which for obviously ridiculous. Do you take meds to help control the mast cells? And if so, is it anything affordable?
