Hello,
I've been registred to this forum for a while now and been hesitating to take part in searching a way to ease the ME. I stumbled many times over phoenixrising and find that many people are immensly knowledgeble and helpful. Also the forums webdesign is so lovely and inviting, my hat off to the designers and programmers!
Now to the subject:
I want to increase my stomach acid as it is borderline low. Betaine HCL is supposed to do wonders for that and help to digest proteins and food in general. The only issue that is bugging me is that I'm most probably a full blown-overmethylator. Niacin relaxes me a bit, SAMe, MethylB12, Metafolin all make me feel crazed and much worse than without these. I also am low histamine and double mutated badly with the COMT(Met/Met) enzyme that's probably the reason why my methylation cycle is defective leading to a host of different problems throughout my life because of overmethylation and issues with neurotransmitters and detoxification.
The question basically is, will I be able to still benefit from Betaine HCL or is it unsuitable as it supposedly is another methyl-donor just like TMG is? And if that's the case, then is it possible to counteract that by combining with high dose Niacin, which acts as a methyl acceptor?
any help and experiences are welcome
there's one thread but it wasn't any helpful you might have a look:
