I don't think the proper baseline test were run on folic acid unfortunately. I

know there are other markers of hystadelia besides the actual levels and those

were used to determine we would not do well on even small amounts of folic acid.

I don't know if you can relate, but sometimes your brain gets so full that the

only thing you can remember is the bottom line. In this case, all I remember is

" we should not take folic acid. " :-)

Hi -

I also avoid folic acid like the plague! Not only do

my fingertips start tingling when I've taken a vitamin

w/folic acid (also I sometimes go nuts and eat a whole

bunch of sunflower seeds - I start and cannot stop),

and I feel very neurotic at the same time. I forget

what the neurological connection was, but it had

something to do w/ strep and the anemias.

Did your kids ever have high levels of folic acid in

their results?
