Alcohol sensitivity?

If you're having trouble breathing after ingesting alcohol then you're most likely suffering from MCAS (mast cell activation syndrome). I started suffering with MCAS and my biggest trigger was alcohol. Right after I drank it i eould get body pain, brain fog, and trouble breathing.

I have read that MCAS testing needs to be done within hours of a major trigger in order to find evidence in blood tests. Many doctors familiar with MCAS will make a clinical diagnosis based on signs and symptoms. I have had elevated eosinophils from MCAS, but not consistently. I basically had a light bulb moment about MCAS when i read Neil Nathan's Toxic, and told my doctor, who confirmed my self-diagnosis. Drinking kombucha or eating miso, which I did nearly every day, caused me brain fog, fatigue, headaches, irritability, mild flushing, and peripheral neuropathy. When I stopped consuming those foods (and other high-histamine foods and supplements), those symptoms stopped. That was enough of a test for my doctor!
