Svako ko burnije reaguje na orašaste plodove, jagode, jaja ili plodove mora zna koliko mora da vodi računa prilikom izbora namirnica.

Ali ono što Britanka Loren Vitering svakodnevno doživljava graniči se sa najvećom noćnom morom. Ova djevojka pati od sindroma aktivacije mastocita, koji čini da sva hrana, bez izuzetka, kod nje izazove najteže alergijske reakcije. Čak i ako samo pomiriše bilo koju namirnicu, Loren može da se onesvjesti.

Prvi simptomi – alergija na soju i mliječne proizvode

Kod Loren su se prve teške alergije razvile još dok je bila u školi. Najprije je reagovala na alkoholne rastvore na času hemije, zatim na soju i mliječne proizvode. Simptomi su se toliko pogoršali da je završila u bolnici.

– Otprilike godinu dana mogla sam da pojedem samo pet namirnica: piletinu, pirinač, krompir, šargarepu i brokoli – kaže Loren. – Onda sam, manje-više preko noći, postala alergična i na svu ostalu hranu, pa nisam mogla ništa da jedem.

Poslije šest mjeseci u bolnici, dijagnostikovan joj je sindrom aktivacije mastocita (MCAS). Riječ je o bolesti imunog sistema u kojoj mastociti – sopstvene odbrambene ćelije tijela – reaguju neadekvatno. Pored ostalih supstanci, mastociti su odgovorni i za histamin.

U slučaju alergijske reakcije, ova supstanca izaziva oticanje sluzokože, crvenilo kože ili proširenje krvnih sudova. U sindromu aktivacije mastocita, međutim, mastociti pretjerano reaguju i to dovodi do povećanog oslobađanja histamina – a samim tim i do ekstremne alergijske reakcije.

“Nisam jela ništa više od godinu dana”

Pored toga što je alergična na hranu, Loren ne podnosi ni alkohol, parfeme i duvanski dim. Njeno stanje se sada toliko pogoršalo da nije jela više od godinu dana.

– Čak i sam miris hrane mi smeta, od njega mogu da padnem u nesvijest – žali se Loren.

Da bi joj spasili život, ljekari su obezbjedili Loren sondu za hranjenje, Ali, ubrzo se ispostavilo da je alergična i na nju. Jedino što im je preostalo bilo je da omoguće direktan pristup Loreninom srcu, kroz koje ona sada dobija najvažnije hranljive materije.

Uprkos svemu ovome, Loren je hrabra. Želi da postane nutricionista i polaže velike nade u razvoj farmaceutske industrije, prenosi Telegraf.

– Čekam da novi čudotvorni lijek iz SAD uskoro bude odobren za klinička ispitivanja. Uvjerena sam da ću jednog dana uspjeti da tolerišem bar neku hranu i da neću više biti alergična na sve.

Kako se javlja sindrom aktivacije mastocita?

Malo je poznato šta uzrokuje bolest. Naučnici smatraju da bi aktivacija mastocita mogla da bude nasljedna. Bolest u početku može biti blaga, ali se vremenom pogoršavaju simptomi na koje destruktivno utiču hirurške intervencije, kao i snažan emocionalni stres.

Lijek za ovu bolest ne postoji, ali se simptomi mogu ublažiti upotrebom različitih lijekova kao što su stabilizatori mastocita ili antihistaminici. Dijeta sa niskim sadržajem histamina i izbjegavanje okidača kao što su dim, boje, alkohol, određena hrana i lijekovi mogu da pomognu kod blagih simptoma.
