Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Hi Cici, No-one can decide for you but personally I wouldnt risk it esp if you know you're sulphur sensitive and presumably you wont just be taking it on off days. Nutri are bound to say its safe. Biocare do some leaky gut supplements without MSM or you could just try l-glutamine on its own. I believe NAG is good too but I've never tried that. I didnt know nuts were high in methionine, I'll be careful now as I eat a lot of them.

Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Cici-- MSM is contraindicated in mercury toxic people according to Andy's book. It can move mercury around and make you worse.

TK--- And you should be concerned. It may or may not bother you but you should start with a samller dose to check if you decide to try using MSM. > > I phoned the company who supply it (Nutri-Link in the UK) and > explained, and they said that this amount was too small to be a > problem, I would have to take grams of MSM to have a bad reaction. > Does this sound right? I've never tried MSM before. TK--- This is just advertising by the company and they have no idea of your/our problems with Hg, nor would they understand if you told them. > > This powder also contains L-Glutamine, N-Acetyl-D- Glucosamine, > Slippery Elm, Stevia and " Glandular Complex with Epithelial Growth > Factor " (whatever that is!).

Eggs are a > disaster, but even yoghurt (containing whey protein?) TK--- Correct, Whey is a very High sulfer food and wil mobilize Hg. and certain nuts > (methionine?) cause problems.

I think Brazil nuts were the main culprit. I found this really good site for finding out what is in food: http://www.nutritiondata.com/ From it I discovered that brazil nuts are especially high in methionine. I might be OK with other nuts, I think almonds and pumpkin seeds have been OK so far, but I'm treading cautiously. Cici Quote
Guest guest Posted February 27, 2006 Report Posted February 27, 2006 Thanks Cici, I eat a lot of brazils and other high methionine foods like quinoa and they dont seem to provoke an obvious sulphur reaction in me as such but its good to be aware of it.
