How do you deal with your intestinale mucus being dry and sticky ?

I have SIBO and my MMC is wrecked and I got very bad reaction from digestive inflammation. How do you deal with a dry mucus. If I try to check my sphincter It is sticky and dry and I am pretty sure this is the reason my MMC is dead right now.

I have to stop my hormones therapy as a transgender because of MCAS

I am sorry for the sad post but I really have to vent right now...

It's been a year I triggered a massive MCAS situation. It just keeps getting worse as I had already a few other chronic problems, I had already bad digestives problems and musculoskeletal symptoms.

My year was a nightmare and I got triggered 4 times...

I was taking HRT for a gender transition, I am trans and I have waited most of my life for this moment but I know estrogen are a very bad trigger for me and it keeps feeding my body inflammation.

I lose my hair and it's most likely due to Lichen planopilaris which means I can't really do shit about it and I am so sad to quit hrt because my mental health improved drastically thanks to estrogen...

I can't stop crying and I wonder why I had to go through all this, I couldn't even experience my 2 years of transition at the fullest because I was sick all along...

Not to mention I live in a small town in rural France and most docs don't understand what mast cells are... I feel so hopeless I don't how to cope with that I have lost thousands trying to fix myself and have a solution to my problems...

I hate how the world is running and how our society is and now I can fairly say that I am traumatized by how powerless and despicable most docs are...
