After reading:
"Faecal hydrogen sulphide concentration is increased by increasing either the
sulphur amino acid content (as meat) or sulphate content (as additives) of the diet"
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1774231/pdf/gut05301479.pdf
I decided to try out a low sulfur diet and see if it influence my H2S test results.
Forbidden foods:
Sulfur containing food preservatives
Poultry
Red meats
Eggs
Dairy products, especially milk
Vegetables: asparagus, broccoli, cabbage, garlic, mustard, onions, pack choi, parsley, sweet potatoes, Swiss chard, tomatoes, watercress, yams
Legumes: beans, peas, lentils, soy, carob, jicama, alfalfa
Fruits: avocado, bananas, watermelon
Grains, nuts and seeds: corn, sunflower seeds, oats, cashews, walnuts, almonds, sesame seeds, coconut.
Tea and coffee
Whey proteins
Amino acids: cysteine, methionine
Vitamins B1 (thiamine) and H (biotin)
Certain medicines may contain sulfur (also check labels for amino acids cysteine or methionine that contain sulfur
Results:
6 March 2010 (normal diet, 5 gram calcium ascorbate, vitamin B complex B-50)
3 August 2010 (3 days low sulfur diet, no calcium ascorbate, no vitamin B complex B-50)
4 August 2010 (4 days low sulfur diet, 5 gram calcium ascorbate, vitamin B complex B-50)
18 August 2010 (normal diet, 5 gram calcium ascorbate, no vitamin B complex B-50)
2 September 2010 (3 days low sulfur diet, no calcium ascorbate, no vitamin B complex B-50)
3 September 2010 (4 days low sulfur diet, 5 gram calcium ascorbate, no vitamin B complex B-50)
Conclusion:
Calcium ascorbate interferes with the H2S test.
