    Preparing for Surgery and Anaesthesia with MCAS | Dr Anton Krige

    In this episode, Community Support Coordinator Deborah Bircham is joined by Dr Anton Krige, an NHS consultant anaesthetist and functional medicine practitioner specialising in MCAS. Together, they explore how to navigate surgery and anaesthesia safely when living with MCAS. Dr Krige breaks down the potential risks, explains how different types of anaesthesia may be tolerated, and shares practical strategies to help you prepare for your operation with confidence. A topic frequently raised within the Mast Cell Action community, surgery can feel particularly daunting for those with MCAS. In this conversation, Dr Krige outlines the key considerations, discusses what information to share with your clinical team, and offers expert guidance on both pre-operative planning and post-operative care. Whether you’re facing an upcoming procedure or simply want to feel more informed about future possibilities, this episode is a must-listen for anyone wanting some clear, reassuring, and clinically grounded advice about navigating surgery with MCAS.
