“What is the MTHFR Mutation? MTHFR (or methylenetetrahydofolate reductase) is an enzyme required to convert folate to methionine, which is then used in the production of necessary amino acids and other compounds. When MTHFR genes are mutated, then MTHFR is not produced well, homocysteine (thought to be involved in atherosclerosis and other health issues) builds …
Food Sensitivities
” Many PWCs report intolerance to both gluten (wheat products, barley, and rye) as well as dairy products. These intolerances are rarely caused by true allergies to gluten (celiac disease or sprue) or dairy (milk protein allergy). Researchers in Belgium have also suggested that many PWCs are intolerant of fructose as well. Consider avoiding each …
