    MTHFR Pyridoxine HCL

    Hmmm... the reason I ask is that I usually have no dream recollection. I am wondering now if it is possible that I have pyroluria... I have all the symptoms. My Spectracell showed that I am actually low in copper, and fine on b6 and zinc. It makes me wonder how accurate those Would it make...

    What happens when someone with an MTHFR mutation takes pyridoxine HCL instead of P5P? Is it harmful?

    Sulfur oxidation, or heavy metals?

    What is the cause for not tolerating the epsom salts? This is what I ultimately want to know, whether there is a possibility of a sulphur oxidation problem so I know whether to go through the trouble of doing a low thiol diet for a while to see if it helps. I basically want to know if these...

    CBS and sulfur veggies, help me make some sense of it!

    I haven't checked my thyroid, but that's on my radar. The thing here is that most sulfur veggies are fodmaps, and I have horrible gut brain issues anyway so any symptoms should be taken with a grain of salt. It seems that I get more reactions when I take in sulfur (cabbage, epsom salt baths...

Also, I've had...

    CBS and sulfur veggies, help me make some sense of it!

    I've read that high mercury can be a cause for thiol/sulfur intolerance. My metal test showed high mercury, so there's that.

    CBS and sulfur veggies, help me make some sense of it!

    So are you saying is that CBS and sulfur are unrelated? And what could be causing my sulfur problem? Is it possible that I'll be able to add them back slowly after I take a break for a while??

    CBS and sulfur veggies, help me make some sense of it!

    So then what about Dr. Yasko's work? What you are saying is pretty contradictory to what I've read about CBS mutation. Anyway, I would probably still benefit from charcoal flushes and low sulfur, correct?

    CBS and sulfur veggies, help me make some sense of it!

    So if it shouldn't be causing problems with my diet, then how do you come to that conclusion? It is causing problems with my diet. And epsom salt baths etc.

    CBS and sulfur veggies, help me make some sense of it!

    Hi forum. So, I recently have been tested and diganosed for double heterozygous MTHFR, but now, I realize that every time I eat a sulfur veggie it sits like a brick and I get an adverse reaction to. I also have some symptoms associated with depleted BH4. Do I likely have a CBS mutation or a...
