Did you take only cornstrach for 1 year ?

Pretty much. I made cornstarch pancakes, with a tsp or so of canola oil. No sugar, no toppings. Hot water was my beverage. Very very very boring diet, but I was trying to see whether avoiding TRP for long enough would change my symptoms. It didn't. :(

That is impressive, and I thought my diet was restrictive! I'm sorry it didn't help, but thanks for sharing your results.

Was/is there a trial with some metabolite trying to fix the trap? The name of it is something like gyrunate, guryate, kyrunate or something like that.
