Star, may ask I how much manganese and molydebnum are you taking? I am homozigous CBS c699t and BHMT 08 and it might be possible that I need them.
Welcome to Phoenix Rising!

I tried reintroducing some sulphur-rich foods and was really ill. I have been following the CBS protocol for some months and found I was gradually getting stronger and brighter than I have been for some considerable time, so I decided to stick with the diet for now.
I found a way to reduce the strong adverse reactions if I ate spinach or cabbage etc by mistake; I figured that if the CBS enzyme was hyperactive and pulling all the nutrients out of the methionine cycle into the trans-sulphuration pathway, producing lots of painful sulphur as a bi-product, if I stopped taking all my nutritional supplements it would reduce the sulphur produced. Bingo! It worked! I still felt poorly, but I did not have the crashing pain in my limbs and horrible fluey feelings.
So now, if I make a mistake I keep off my supplements for at least 24 hrs, but I take molybdenum at regular intervals, because that gets depleted by the sulphur detox. If I have it I take charcoal too to soak up the sulphur/ammonia.
I followed the CBS protocols of Amy Yasko and the Heartfixer site, I also used the lists of thiol-containing foods on here - http://www.livingnetwork.co.za/chelationnetwork/food/high-sulfur-sulphur-food-list/ - using sulphur strips to determine which sulphur-containing foods I could tolerate. If you do a search on "CBS protocol" on this forum there are lots of links.What diet are you following?
Oh yes, I found it on Genetic Genie....thanks!VDR Taq is rs731236, risk allele A. 23andMe does test for it.
@Violeta now that is some interesting information, as I have been supplementing with silica as per aluminum removal protocol (which apparently I have a lot of in my body as per hair test), *and* my sulphur issues have been improving!I think I found why silica would help with sulfur issues. I have a book by Bernard Jensen called, "The Chemistry of Man". It has a chapter on each of the 12 cell salts. In the chapter on silica it says that silica combines with sulfur. I don't know if what follows is important or not, but I am thinking that if one is deficient in silica, sulfur becomes toxic.
The list of symptoms that silica deficiency is involved in is endless, but I'll see if I can find some that are specific to thiol problems and come back later.
