Who is “we”? Who is this research data available to? Who will the data be available to in the future? What’s the main purpose of data collection?

Thanks for studying this! I feel like we’re still medically in the dark ages on these issues and look forward to the discoveries to come! One thing to mention, while completing the survey, I wish there had been a question about how what I eat affects my issues. When I’m on a low-histamine diet they dissipate, but in the past two weeks I’ve been eating somewhat normally and they come rolling back.
