I am just remembering that my NP, two years ago, tested me being "wicked low" in calcium. I responded really well to the Standard Process supps but they were made from foods my ds is allergic to. I should test them out now.

I haven't found a calcium suppl that doesn't make me want to throw up.<br />
<br />
We try to have a cup of bone broth daily - but in reality it is 4-5 days a week. I juice greens but that's all I can think of.

Are you doing calcium with the magnesium? My Mg tolerance is low if I don't balance it with Ca. My favorite Ca source is bone broth.

my food restriction make it difficult for me to get molybdenum in my diet. This should be important to add<br />
<br />
vitamin A - I believe I had a compromized gut prior to my pregnancies. If this was the case, I might not have been able to change beta carotene into vitamin A. I don't believe I had been eating a lot of high quality, natural vitamin A sources prior to pregnancy. My severe morning sickness made it difficult for me to eat anything during pregnancy.

I am nursing my 2.5 year old. He has multiple allergies (no-Ige): dairy, soy, beef, legumes, gluten, corn, eggs (within this week he seems to be ok with egg yolk - keeping my fingers crossed - it is crystal testing fine), citrus, strawberries, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, treenuts, peanuts, pineapple, shellfish, chocolate, coconut, hemp, flax, apple (I think I'm forgetting a few things.) Many of these were problems from the get-go, but some where problems after too much consumption. I believe some…
I am nursing my 2.5 year old. He has multiple allergies (no-Ige): dairy, soy, beef, legumes, gluten, corn, eggs (within this week he seems to be ok with egg yolk - keeping my fingers crossed - it is crystal testing fine), citrus, strawberries, tomatoes, sweet potatoes, treenuts, peanuts, pineapple, shellfish, chocolate, coconut, hemp, flax, apple (I think I'm forgetting a few things.) Many of these were problems from the get-go, but some where problems after too much consumption. I believe some of these are liver detox issues. In fact, that is what my crystal is telling me. see supps below.<br />
I, myself have learned through this journey that I have a problem with gluten, corn, stone fruit and citrus. I strongly believe that the stone fruit and citrus are liver issues. I'm not sure about the others. After connecting the dots, I realize that I've had corn problems my entire adult life. (I thought I was allergic to latex, but it was the corn.)<br />
I used to have strong asthma and environmental allergies. I will see if they get worse this spring.<br />
We occasionally do bottled probiotics, but do water kefir daily, and have recently fallen in love with fermented carrots.<br />
supplementation - we stopped natural calm in december because of the potential corn issue, also because it has lemon in it. In beginning of Feb when I started crystal testing it said that it was a no-go for my son. A few days ago I asked if it was an allergen, it said no. This confused me because I believed he was reacting to it. I asked if it was a detox issue, and it said yes. When I asked about myself it said it wasn't an allergen for me. My bowel tolerance is VERY low for it, so I wanted to know more. I had already had 1/2 tsp earlier that day. I asked if I needed more, and received a yes answer. I then asked if I should have more now, and received a no answer. well the point is moot anyway until I find a mag that my son doesn't react to.<br />
vitamin c (camu powder -yuck, allergy-c is reactive to my son)<br />
vitamin D<br />
raw fermented clo<br />
B complex (only recent reintroduced because of son)<br />
zinc (spotty intake)<br />
msm (only recent reintroduction because of son)<br />
vitamin k<br />
<br />
I recently ordered other things (can't remember). It is hard finding things that my nursling doesn't react to. I want to start selenium again.<br />
<br />
I eat meat, more than I would like. It is my main protein source.<br />
<br />
I have one mercury filling - little pieces have broken off I believe.<br />
<br />
I am very overweight. I had lost 60 lbs after my son's birth, all pre-preg weight. I've gained 10 back, and can't lose more.<br />
Asthma is under control - no meds needed.<br />
Plantar fascitis (sp?) in my feet.<br />
<br />
My goal is to try raw goat milk kefir, but I wanted to be further into our detox healing. I hope to do so at the end of the summer.<br />
<br />
eta: Prior to adding mag this fall I had problems with heart palpatations, tics, restless leg syndrome, relaxing. Mag really helped me with all of these things. I need to get a new supplement.

"But does a sensitivity to sulfites and possibly high homocysteine levels contradict each other?<br />
Sulfation - what should I be looking for? Is this the transulfuration?"<br />
<br />
Sulfite sensitivity can be overactive transsulfuration as compared to your SUOX enzyme. Molybdenum and B6 are both necessary for that enzyme, but too much can inhibit the process.<br />
<br />
Fast transsulfuration generally protects against really high homocysteine levels, but there are varying degrees of fast. So it might just mean your…

<br />
Fast transsulfuration generally protects against really high homocysteine levels, but there are varying degrees of fast. So it might just mean your methyl cycle is really slow - which would match the high dopamine. And midline defects are also related to vitamin A, so that might be a factor as well.

iodine - i did a patch test and it disappeared by the 11th hour. My oldest son's disappeared by the 8th hour.<br />
I have Lugol's but feel nervous about using it.
