UPDATE on Taurine / helping absorb EFA's, etc.

[Guest guest]

Hi from Sue,

Every day since writing the post below dated 3/19 ...

I 've been muscle testing my need for taurine

before and after I take my

EFA's....

(Keep in mind I used to have an intollerance to fats... but now cleared)

But I still am sensitive to fats...and I usually burp after them.

Well... BEFORE I INGEST them I rarely need ANY Taurine per muscle testing...

unless I have a high FAT OR high oxalate meal.

After I take my 4-5 pills of EFa's and 5-6 Borage pills per day...

I muscle test needing 3,000 mg. of taurine

Consistently for over a week now. ..

So I've concluded for me.....that Taurine

DOES seem to help better fatty acid absorption as per

the quote from the oxalate site below.

"If taurine is low in the plasma amino acid profile, supplementation with taurine may help stimulate bile salt production (taurocholic acid), leading to better fatty acid absorption AND diminished OXALATE absorption." (See website below for source p.2.)

PS..from Sue... Lysine is another amino I need high amts .when eating oxalate foods...4-5,000 mgs.

Hi Jananda from Sue,

That makes sense about the Taurine...

as its also discussed on this link for oxalate

digestion.

This is a very good succinct summary of

"Oxalate Control is a Major New Factor In Autism Therapy."http://www.greatplainslaboratory.com/oxalates/oxal-test.pdf

I am an adult with no autism connection, but lurk on ths group because I find these protocols for autism are very useful and similar to what I need to work with, to recover from my own illness (lyme, ms, mcs, severe allergies, etc).I can only eat a few green vegetables, and am allergic to everything else. I cannot do amino acid supplements, because many single aminos are derived from corn fermentation.The one amino that I take nightly before bed, is taurine. I buy the pure powder from NOW brand, and capsule it myself. I take 500 mg, and I weigh 95 pounds.Since I started taking taurine before bed, I have not smelled or tasted ammonia one time..........and before I did several times a week, very strongly. I also sleep better with the taurine, and tolerate it great.Is your son also allergic to corn? You mentioned citric acid, which is usually corn derived. If he is, there are probably other corn exposures he is getting in his meds and supplements, and possibly the few foods he eats. It's a challening allergy to work with.Hope this helps. The taurine was suggested as part of a protocol to reduce nitric oxide and chemical allergy cycles.......from the work of Dr. Grace Ziem.Love,Jnanda
