    Hi Russ, I have very grainy stools which I never had before. It just "fits" with what I have been reading about adding in B1 (reducing endogenous oxalates) and reducing oxalate intake in my diet. I do not eat seeds or grainy breads which may also cause grainy stools. I have read about "oxalate dumping" and my symptoms do seem to come in waves. And...

    HI Knitty Kitty, Thank you so much for reading and answering all my questions- greatly appreciated. I hope everything is OK and no need to apologise! Since I wrote, I have increased the dosage of my B complex (Thorne B basic) and I'm now up to nearly 300mg thiamine hydrochloride- still not enough to overcome the shut-down of the thiamine transporters...

    Hi Russ, Thank you for your message. I was eating loads of high oxalate foods when I stopped eating dairy for a while- in an attempt to acquire calcium. But I then learnt that a lot of these foods are only high in calcium as a plant defense mechanism to protect themselves from the oxalate toxicity- and the actual availability after consumption is very...

    Thank you for your reading my post and replying I investigated mould a few years ago when I was also diagnosed with Lyme disease (bulls eye rash and very ill). I had some black mould in my property too at the time, I got pretty paranoid about it after that and was convinced I was super sensitive to it. But I also investigated other issues such as diet...

    Thank you for this feedback Scott

    Hi Scott, Many thanks. In your opinion and experience over the years Scott, do you find most people can tolerate other grains like corn and rice? I'm wary of the higher oxalate grains now,like buckwheat and quinoa after finding I am excreting oxalate crystals!! I used to have no fear of carbs but since my whole journey into fixing my health started...

    Hi Scott, Thanks for reading and responding to my message. Over the past 5 years since my health deteriorated, the longest gluten-free stint has likely been around 2-3 weeks, but maybe not strict ie. checking every ingredient in a product/eating out. During the various "gluten-free stints" I did feel better in some of them and but not in others. I...

    Hi Knitty Kitty, What a journey this is! I hope you don't mind me coming back to you to ask more questions. A little update: Since we last wrote, I didn't change a whole lot to be honest. I think I had indoctrinated my brain ver the past 5 years, with all the RED-S recovery blogs/books/articles I have read about eg. not going low carb, eating...

    Hi there, Thank you for sharing this with me. I have read some of your blog posts - I don't need to buy the book now!! You have researched this in depth and know/have experienced so much; I am very grateful for you sharing all this on the forum. I was like you used to be too: not taking any supplements, trying to get everything from foods. It...

    Wow! That is invaluable information- the HormonesMatters article is enlightening and has led me to reading a few more articles on their site- and to the book written by the site's founder (bit expensive though for purchase right now). I have been experiencing many "Wow" and lightbulb moments as I have been reading! The explanation to symptom fluctuation...

    Hi- these articles have certainly opened my eyes to the importance of B1 and how deficiency may indeed fit with me. Very interesting. So many thanks again for this info. I started eating a load more carbs when I was recovering from RED-s 4 years ago. And I still do eat a relatively high CHO diet. And add in the exercise I've been trying to resume...

    Hi , Many many thanks for all this information and sharing what has helped you. I will look at the articles in more detail tomorrow and get back to you - just wanted to give you the heads up that I have received your reply. So sorry for the delay in picking it up - I didn't open my account for a week or so. I will look back at some of your posts too...

    Good to know. Thank you! This website is a very valuable and helpful resource. Thank you for taking the time to read and reply to me.... very much appreciated. I'll see how I feel on different grains and may have to improve my cooking skills!

    Many thanks for your reply Scott. I actually posted almost a year ago(crikey- time flies) and you kindly responded to me then too. I didn't go down the route of food exclusions as I was also investigating iron/B12/vitD deficiencies. Supplementing this year seems to have really helped and I do feel more consistently better. I ate gluten and dairy during this...

    Hi. A brief as possible background on myself: I'm not celiac - or if I am my blood tests were false negative and I don't get many gut symptoms. I've been feeling pretty unwell for the past 4 years (mainly multitude of neuro/nerve symptoms, constant headaches being the biggie with blurry vision, and chronic fatigue) but since supplementing with fairly...

    Thanks Scott. I never used to get migraines - ever. And I ate loads of bread/pasta/couscous. Up until 4 years ago that is - now it seems like a constant migraine - Ok, slight exaggeration as there have been days/weeks I haven't had any. I've tried to spot patterns but I try to change too many variables at the one time- iron/vit D/gluten/carbs.......

    Hi Scott, Thanks for replying so quickly! And for your detailed reply too. Yes - my case is not so straightforward as X=Y; there are quite a lot of confounding factors are at play and often the answer to one (eat all the foods and restore metabolism) is polar opposite to the other(cut out foods to recover from Lyme/chronic fatigue/migraines etc...

    Hi. I'm going round in circles ....4 years ago I started recovery from overtraining and energy deficiency - basically not eating enough for training I did- I ate lots more food, put on weight, reduced exercise. Hormones normalised/menstruation resumed :) But symptoms came crashing down - not the rejuvenation of health I expected to come. I also got Lyme...
