No.

The reaction to them is complicated and most people don't figure out

what is going on when they get addicted to the sulfur food rush and

feel like crap for days afterwards.

What happens when someone who is high in cysteine eats sulfur foods in

excess is that they get a couple of hours of feeling better, mood

elevation, happiness, excitement, and positive feelings. Just like

cocaine. And in fact the mechanism isn't dissimilar - excessive

cysteine reacts with other things in the brain to make dopamine mimics.

Then they become really hyper and babbly, and later crash into tired

cranky depression.

The tiredness and depression last several days.

The subconscious works the same way it does with cocaine and remembers

the immediate pleasurable response as associated with the food, not

linking the later ick to it. So you crave the food, do ti again and

again, and most of the time have a dozen tired cranky depressions

stacked on top of each other that you occasionally alleviate a bit

with a high.

If you want to figure it out without the $35 blood test, you have to

rigorously avoid sulfur foods for a week, then reintroduce them at ONE

and only ONE meal with subsequent meals planned out to be low sulfur.

When I had just that minute improvement feeling and the next day and

the next day.....I went into hyper mode...I talked and laughed and

felt like heaven and was slightly hysterical even in everything but

then when you have been so ill that life seems at an end and wish it

would everything changes...thanks to that for so much...sorry this

is about sulfur foods but it seemed revelent to me anyway...BW Dianne

I am intolerant of many sulfur foods, medicines, and supplements.

When I take SAMe or Undenatured whey, I get the reaction you

describe. Initially feeling high, then crashing the next day. In

fact, it is hard for me to believe that SAMe is not beneficial,

except that its benefit is not consistent (every time I take it).

How do you explain sulfur intolerance?

Thanks,

Vickie
