Re: Re: What to do about histidilia?

[Guest guest]

Thanks ,

I have taken the tests and I think my doctor is

thinking along the same lines - unfortunately he is

away for a couple weeks so for now I am stuck. I am

going to try sulfur exclusion, although this will be

tough because I have to get through coffee withdrawal,

which usually makes things worse for me in the short

term. I also need to eliminate salicylates, because I

think they may be a factor.

Thanks,

Dave

Thanks ,

I am taking a lot of the supplements ou suggested and

some of them have helped enormously - particularly

taurine and SAMe. The site you mentioned was really

interesting. I am going to try inositol...

Thanks,
