Hello all,
I have a combination of both the C677T and A1298C mutations and have been doing Fredd's protocol for about a month now. I am up to 5000mg MB12 and 8000 to 12,000mg folate daily with Douglass labs b complex and the dibencozide once every three days and lots of potassium, some milk thistle and some adaptogenic herbs because I had adrenal failure about six weeks ago. I'm on BHRT (bio identical hormone therapy) for several hormones including cortisol and thyroid now even though I'm only 42.
The protocol is helping with my physical and mental energy but is kicking my butt with insomnia and there is also some increased mental fog in the evenings.
The one area it hasn't helped at all yet it is my inability to eat any sort of concentrated protein without having major allergic and inflammatory reactions throughout the body including some pretty severe ones.. (bad iritis.. swelling in eyes). I've had this problem for about 12 years. It severley limits my ability to eat normal, everyday food. I'm currently only able to eat raw fruits and some raw vegetables and greens.. anything else causes me lots of "fibromyalgia" like pain and mucus and the iritis and makes me VERY depressed and irritable.
I think part of the reason I got adrenal fatigue and my body stopped producing hormones is because I can't eat enough protein to support their production (in addition to other lifestyle factors.. working too much.. smoking...etc..)
I'm wondering if this extreme reaction to protein and severe food sensitivities is normal with my gene profile? Should I pay for more genetic testing to see if something else is causing this problem? Should it get better in time?
I've tried all sorts of digestive enzymes and probiotics and such with little to no improvement..
I'm quite weak and too thin and would love to be able to eat more variety. Any and all suggestions and theories welcome.
Thanks all!
Audrey
