I should probably mention that like the woman in 1st case report, I also have MCAS symptoms, as well as other pain and paresthesia in my hands and elsewhere. I had a colonoscopy a few months after this started and for the prep I ate mostly just white rice and tapioca - no fruit or veg. I felt much, much better on the colonoscopy prep diet. Since then my diet has become quite restricted as I noticed more pain when I ate cruciferous veg, alliums, legumes - lots of stuff.

So it is possible some of my erythromelalgia symptom improvement is due to having a limited diet - which is probably not so great for long term health overall.

I have wondered if there is TRP channel involvement since isothiocyanates and other food components can activate TRP channels, as can heat exposure.

Then there is the possibility of a connection to mast cells to consider.
