I have three of these in my freezer. I use them when I am going to work out in the yard on hot days or when I feel a flare coming on. It helps with flushing too.
Neck Cooling Tube Wraps
My favorite flavored electrolyte powder. No bitter after taste. I mix it with sparkling water and plenty of ice.
Kinderlyte Advanced Electrolyte Powder
I'll never understand why regular Benadryl has tons of dye in it. This liquid dye-free formula is my go-to for quickly calming a reaction.
Children's Benadryl Dye-Free
Peppermint helps calm nausea, gives you a small blood sugar boost and it helps distract your nervous system. With hyperpots your adrenaline is flowing and peppermint can help “reset” your nervous system.

Both MCAS and hyperPOTS (as well as cortisol swings in my situation) cause flushing. I mix a small amount of this cream in with my daily moisturizer to help calm my angry and inflamed skin.
CeraVe 1% Hydrocortisone Cream
The perfect alternative to name brand Tylenol - dye free and free from artificial fillers. Every little bit of garbage you can cut adds up.
Genexa Clean Acetaminophen
I wish I could explain how this works. It helps with inflammation and detoxification. My MCAS symptoms and food tolerances have improved since I started using it. I was hesitant because I can't eat oranges, but this did not bother me at all. I mix a ...
PectaSol Modified Citrus Pectin
Gentle and moisturizing face wash. I wasn't a fan of Vanicream that so many recommend. This one is wonderful.
La Roche-Posay Toleriane Hydrating Cleanser
Coffee can be tricky with MCAS and hPOTS. I stick to decaf. I have tried soooo many brands that claim to be mold free (which is what I think I react to in coffee). This particular brand works for me. Other varieties from this brand caused me to get i...
Organic Decaf Coffee
The best CC and redness calmer I have found. I wear it by itself when I am at home and mix it into foundation when I go out.
stila One Step Color Corrector
Amazing for a dry mouth from all of those antihistamines or for a sore throat. No artificial ingredients or dyes.

Gentle on your skin, unscented and you can remove makeup without tugging and harsh wiping thanks to the micellar water.

A plant based fabric softener with a very subtle fagrance.

This is marketed for pets but it is AMAZING. Works well for burns, cuts, and cracked skin on your fingers.
Absorbine Silver Honey Rapid Wound Repair Ointment
A gentle, non drying lip balm without lots of added chemicals.
eos 100% Natural & Organic Lip Balm Sticks
Amazing moisture. My skin gets soooo irritated and this really helps pamper it. It is fairly heavy so I avoid using it on the T-zone of my face but I slather it on everywhere else. For extra soothing keep it in the fridge.
La Roche-Posay Lipikar AP+ Moisturizing Cream
Probiotics often can cause histamine reactions. This is the only brand I use now.
