Hi Sir, I get flushed when I consume alcohol. My body gets red, my nose gets blocked, my heart beat becomes faster. So I consulted doctor. First he advised for colonoscopy of stomach, I did that. Then he told CT enterography, I did that also, then he told chromogranin A test, I did it. Now he advised me for mastocytosis test. He told mastocytosis test is done through bone marrow. Is this test necessary. Please help me. Because the doctor is doing many test with me. I am not able to tolerate.

You are experiencing an allergic reaction to alcohol. If you are taking sone other medicine then that could cause this reaction with alcohol. Pure alcohol allergy is rare. It could be an allergy to another molecule in the drink that you are consuming. You can go through the tests, but I doubt it will lead to a satisfactory treatment. For preventing allergies, you need to stay away from the allergen (in this case, the drinks that cause this reaction). As such, many people all over the world are tee-totallers and enjoy as much as people who drink.
