Feel free to share any information or feedback on Cromolyn. It was used in my protocol for awhile.
"Mast-cell stabilizers—strengthen or stabilize the mast cell to reduce the release of histamine and other inflammatory chemicals (Cromolyn, Ketotifen, Hydroxyurea)"
"Another option is to use the prescription cromolyn sodium, but this works best only for GI symptoms. And the nasal spray form works best for nasal allergies."
"And every medic medication I’ve looked at other than cromolyn, sodium has an excipient, that is a mast cell trigger in it. And so people may not have a positive response, because they’re reacting to the inactive ingredients. So there’s that piece, I just want to set that on the table."
Big section by Dr. Jill in this interview about Cromolyn.
"I’m also jumping pretty quickly to some of the mast cell stabilizers because I find they’re really powerful. So two of my favorites are cromolyn and Ketotifen. And I use those a lot because if someone has food-related activation, the cromolyn really blocks that meal-related activation."
"CROMOLYN (KROE moe lin) helps manage the symptoms of mastocytosis, a condition that causes the body to produce too many mast cells. It works by reducing the release of substances in your body that cause symptoms such as diarrhea, stomach pain, nausea, vomiting, flushing, itching, and headache. It belongs to a group of medications called mast cell stabilizers."
"Non-FDA approved Indications (off-labels)
Cromolyn sodium is off-labeled used for preventing serious reactions to foods.<8>

It's also used to treat superior limbic keratoconjunctivitis."
