Effectiveness

How Gastrocrom Affects PatientsCromoglicate (or cromolyn, USAN) is a man-made compound used to treat asthma and allergic rhinitis. It can also be used as eye drops to treat conjunctivitis and taken orally to treat mastocytosis and ulcerative colitis. Cromoglicate works by blocking the airways from narrowing when it comes into contact with an allergen or irritant that would normally cause an asthma attack.
How Gastrocrom works in the bodyCromoglicate works to prevent allergic reactions by blocking the release of histamine and other inflammatory chemicals from mast cells. This is likely done by preventing calcium from entering the cells.

Gastrocrom Reviews: What are patients saying about Gastrocrom?

5Patient Review
1/3/2010
Gastrocrom for Allergy to Food that causes Problems of the Stomach or Intestines
Gastrocrom has been a total life-saver for my son who suffers from mastocytosis. It took less than a week of regular use to get his digestive system back on track, and the difference is noticeable if he misses even just one dose. We've also found that it works great as a lotion to relieve itchiness caused by both mastocytosis and eczema.

Gastrocrom for Allergy to Food that causes Problems of the Stomach or Intestines
This regimen has given me my life back! I suffered for 9 years with chronic nausea and abdominal pain. In the past 6 weeks I've only had two episodes of mild nausea and only treated one. I was sick every day, all day triggered by food sensitivities that I was unaware of and discovered accidently ( ex soy, dairy)

Gastrocrom for Condition of Increased Mast Cells
I cannot believe how well this drug works. For years I've been dealing with nausea as soon as I got out of bed in the morning, and it would last all day long. It was like having mild to severe motion sickness. But within half an hour of taking this medication, along with Zantac and Benadryl, my symptoms were completely gone.

Gastrocrom for Allergy to Food that causes Problems of the Stomach or Intestines
Even though it's expensive and not covered by insurance, this treatment really helped me. More than antihistamines or zantac 150.

I'm only on day three, but I feel so much better already. Fingers crossed this keeps up!
