Systemic mastocytosis is a form of mastocytosis wherein mast cells build up in internal tissues and organs, such as the liver, spleen, bone marrow, and small intestines. The disorder is commonly seen in adults. Systemic mastocytosis is mainly categorized into four groups: indolent systemic mastocytosis (ISM), systemic mastocytosis with an associated hematologic non-mast cell lineage disorder (SM-AHNMD), aggressive systemic mastocytosis (ASM), and mast cell leukemia (MCL).
Known side effects of systemic mastocytosis
The known side effects of systemic mastocytosis include anemia and coagulopathy, abdominal pain, diarrhea, nausea and vomiting, symptoms of gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD), pruritus and flushing, and anaphylactoid reaction. It may also cause an enlargement of the liver, spleen, or lymph nodes. Other side effects of the disease include lightheadedness, an irregular or unusually rapid beating of the heart, bone pain, headache, and ulcers in the stomach and small intestine.
Body systems harmed by systemic mastocytosis
The body systems damaged by systemic mastocytosis include the integumentary, digestive, cardiovascular, circulatory, skeletal, respiratory, and nervous systems.
List of foods or nutrients that prevent systemic mastocytosis
Foods that are good for mast cells include watercress, pea sprouts, onions, garlic, moringa, holy basil, thyme, tarragon, chamomile, nettle, peppermint, black cumin seed and oil, galangal, ginger, lotus root, turmeric, pomegranate, apples, capers, mangosteens, peaches, Chinese quince, black rice bran, and mung bean sprouts.

- Contrast media, particularly those containing iodine
- Dental and endoscopic procedures
- Emotional factors, such as stress, anxiety, and lack of sleep
