I rarely hear about about excess dietary folate. If someone with very poor B12 function ate a heck of a lot of folate rich foods then where would the unwanted dietary folate go?
I am worried that excess dietary folate could contribute to methyl trapping. Could this happen?
I take B12 and also 1,000 mcg methylfolate (Metafolin). If I take 2,000 mcg folate I go into folate deficiency and it makes me extremely ill until I cut back. I would like to eat more folate-rich foods if they don't cause an excess of folate to build up.
