What are some manifestations of systemic mastocytosis?
When mast cells build up in the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, they can release chemicals like histamine that disrupt the normal function of your stomach and intestines. This can lead to a variety of digestive symptoms, especially after exposure to a trigger. These issues often occur alongside other symptoms, such as skin reactions, and may include:
- Abdominal bloating
- diarrhea
- Stomach pain of cramping
- nausea
- vomiting
- loss of appetite
- weight loss
- or enlarged liver
