Low sulphur diet / high sulphur odor

[Guest guest]

Hi there, my very ill wife (severe Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, chemical

sensitivities, electrical sensitivity) is currently doing a low-sulphur

trial diet to test her sensitivity to thiols before beginning ALA chelation,

and I have noticed a strong sulphur odor in her urine this week. I thought

that having this odor meant that there was high thiol activity (I.e. w/

dmps, etc.), but she should be having less thiol activity than usual while

on the low-sulphur diet, right? Or perhaps I'm missing a crucial piece of

the chemistry if anyone could shed some light on this phenomenon, that would

be greatly appreciated.

I wonder if it could have anything to do with upping her dosage of

phosphatidylcholine and/or betaine hcl recently. I which case, the diet

change could just be a coincidence. The reason I think ppc, is because she

seems to have such poor lipid assimilation. Her Metametrix ION test a couple

years ago showed really crazy fatty acid levels--some very low, some very

high. I'm just getting my head around these issues, with not much of a

science background, so I can use help!

Best,
