Re: Bad reaction fo folinic acid

[Guest guest]

We have had the same problem with all forms of folic acid, including folinic

acid, even though my son does well on other methylation enhancers.

I would stop using it.

Our son had a similar reaction. Our dan at the time said that about

30 percent of his patients had this issue and that we should

discontinue and just use folic acid.

We just added folinic acid this week and my son has been a terror at home. OK

at school, but very easily frustrated and very emotional at home. Guess I'll

switch to folic acid and see if that helps.

Thanks

I would try increasing the yeast protocol, and if that didn't help, maybe

carnitine [folic acid at my house required carnitine for proper absorption, and

tended to increase yeast]. Otherwise, drop the folic for now.

Try methylfolate (5-MTHF). My son couldn't tolerate folinic acid or folic

acid, but does very well on methylfolate. I purchase it from Thorne

Research.

Both folic acid and folinic were disasters here. The 5-methyl form of folate

has been ok. We were unable to use any MB12 until we had a few weeks of the

5-methyl folate on board. We also use the Thorne product.
