Hi all, I'm looking for some help just making basic sense of my SNP's. I've been reading up on MTHFR for a while on the suspicion that I was positive. But with the rest of my info, everything I read seems to conflict and I am just bewildered.
So, here are my SNP's, per GG:
MTHFR, all heterozygous
I've been working hard to heal my gut, but apart from managing my esophageal spasms and helping me lose about 60 lbs, I still have IBS symptoms and gain a lot of weight if I even look at grains. I have yet to find a supplement that helps me feel good for more than a day or two - Thorne MethylGuard + does nothing for me, nor do tons of ferments, nor zinc, nor turmeric, 5-htp or melatonin. Digestive enzymes are about the only thing I am religious about.
I know that I don't do well on very low carb, it totally messes up my hormones, and makes my armpits smell like ammonia, so I do try to eat a wide variety of veggie carbs. Unfortunately, I don't have the money to run a lot of expensive testing at this point, so I'm just trying to figure things out on my own. I'm a big fan of dietary modification. If anyone can tell me where I need to at least start, that would be fantastic.
ETA: I also have major low sex drive so I'm sure there is another hormonal or neurotransmitter issue there.
