Mast Cell Activation (MCAS), Histamine Intolerance, POTS &  Nutrition Support

Compassionate care for complex conditions

You deserve to feel heard, supported, and empowered in your health — without gaslighting, judgment, or being dismissed.

Living with Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS), Histamine Intolerance, Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome (POTS), or Ehlers-Danlos Syndrome (EDS) can feel overwhelming and isolating. Many of our clients share a common story: years of symptoms, countless doctor visits, and feeling brushed off, doubted, or told “it’s all in your head.” This kind of medical gaslighting leaves you not only battling your health but also struggling to trust your care team.

We want you to know: we believe you, and we’re here to help.

Common Symptoms We See in These Conditions

  • MCAS / Histamine Intolerance: flushing, itching, hives, swelling, nausea, GI distress, migraines, food sensitivities, allergic-type reactions with or without clear triggers.

  • POTS: dizziness, rapid heart rate, fatigue, exercise intolerance, brain fog, difficulty completing daily tasks.

  • EDS: joint pain, hypermobility, chronic fatigue, GI complications, poor wound healing.

When symptoms are this challenging, even figuring out what to eat can feel impossible. You might find yourself second-guessing every meal, feeling fearful of food, or eating from such a short list that variety feels out of reach. But it doesn’t have to stay this way

How Nutrition Support Can Help

At Teresa Romano Nutrition, we provide:

  • Compassionate listening and validation: We take your symptoms seriously and create space for your lived experience.

  • Individualized nutrition guidance to reduce symptom flare-ups and manage food sensitivities without leaving you feeling restricted, afraid, or nutritionally depleted.

  • Support for daily function and energy through strategies like blood sugar balance, hydration/electrolyte management, and gentle meal planning.

  • Safe food expansion for those who feel like everything triggers a reaction — helping you find more variety and less fear around eating.

  • Guidance for co-occurring concerns like GI issues, immune health, or disordered eating patterns that can develop when food feels unsafe.

Our Promise

We understand that living with MCAS, histamine intolerance, POTS, or EDS often comes with a long and winding health journey — and sometimes, it can feel like your symptoms haven’t been fully understood. Our role is to provide a safe, supportive space where your experiences are taken seriously and your needs guide the plan.

  • We listen first — making space for your story, your challenges, and your goals.

  • We meet you where you are — whether that means supporting a limited list of safe foods or gently expanding variety at your pace.

  • We create realistic, sustainable goals — so nutrition feels like a source of stability and support, not one more thing to manage.

From overwhelm to clarity — one step at a time
