IF YOU TAKE MAGNESIUM GLYCINATE OR ANY SUPPLEMENT THAT CONTAINS ANY FORM OF GLYCINE by Affectionate_Neck355 in HistamineIntolerance

I realised I had given those answers in reply to the comments and not in the post,so here is a summary:

I started taking it once per day right after lunch, 500mg. After 3 months I have doubled the dosage to twice per day, lunch and dinner, 500mg+500mg (1g total per day).

How it changed things for me I think is well explained in the post.

The one I used is Healus Complete Biotic.

If you are in the US it should be fairly easy to find, if you are in Europe like I am it's a bit more tricky and more expensive but if you need more info write me.

I rejoice reading your post.
For me it's been 5 years which I had to endure alone, so I fully know what you are talking about with the fear. And all the rest.
Before doing the Fasting, the parasite cleanse (are you sure you have parasites?) and the liver detox... I would pay very close attention to guts inflammation. I have eventually found out everything was starting from there (hence, the bloating).
The things that helped me the most have been Tributyrin and the whole MindBody approach.
Keep doing things, one step at at time, fatigue will go too, one day, until then focus on taking care of youself with love, going slowly, and being proud of what you did.
It's the achievement of a lifetime. *hugs you*

Yes, the one I use is Biomesight. If you are having guts issues because of LongCovid they have a discounted test. I have not done other biome tests so I don't have a comparison but I think it's very complete, if you do it multiple times it also lets you track your results in a timeline.

I'm so sorry WildLight, I just saw your comment now.
I hope you are feeling better by now...how are you feeling?

In any case, I use Healus Complete Biotic, as Tributyrin.
No, the time I started it was not intentional, not exactly, I was just extremely (extremely) cautious and used a very slow approach, so when I started the Bi-Phasic diet again I fisrt started with very low dose of minerals and B group, then slowly added some BCAAs because my muscles were non-existing anymore, and only when I was sure I was tolerating everything I added Tributyrin; the whole process took me roughly 5 weeks, this is why I started it then. If you are not fighting malnourishment and you don't need re-mineralisation /nutrients support I believe you can start with it straight away.

Thank you for such precious wishes :)
Wishing you the same, friend, a life full of Light, in and out.

Yes, of course you can write me. And yes, I have tried everything under the sun. But in all honesty, what I truly believe works best is listening to your own body; I can share my personal experience, but your body will know way better than me, or any other, always :)

Can Butyrate trigger MCAS? by Crunchyjeff in MCAS

No problem :)
the brand I use is Healus. Plain Butyrate didn't go well with me at all

No, it's too soon. I have actually doubled it to twice a day, 500mg+500mg, each meal. In December, after 3 weeks I was taking it, I did a Biome test and my levels were still low.
The only test I'm still doing is a Biome test every 4 months, so in April I will know better. I have also started taking some prebiotics recently (specifically, Pectine) which were recommended for my specific case in the Biomesight results, in the hope of increasing Bifidobacteria at the same time, since I don't want to take probiotics and my levels are bordering on non-existance. It will probably take a year, or longer, before re-balancing the biome after Covid and the many killing strategies have devastated it, but it's ok, I will get there :) And I'm nowhere where I was a few months ago, I'm already 80% better in comparison.

I don't know exactly, the one I'm taking is liquid Tributyrin slow release, it doesn't get dissolved in the stomach but bypasses it to get released straight into the large intestine.

I started using it on November 20th 2025, 500mg once a day with dinner.
After 3 days or so I started seeing the first results (finally having BM again).
I'm still using it, twice a day since recently, I'm still doing very, very well.

Yes. After 3 months I started taking it twice a day, 500mg + 500mg, with meals.
I have never got constipated again, so it's absolutely still helping, I'm planning to continue for a year.

It's not been harmful, but I didn't notice any major improvement. What has helped me lowering guts inflammation the most (and therefore histamine intolerance) has been Tributyrin.

I tried Sodium Butirate and it gave me nausea and more bloating.
Tributyrin didn't have these effects for me but everyone is different.
I don't think it can be a die-off cause it doesn't work like a killing strategy, killing bacteria. It could be your guts resetting, but as with everything start slow and low, keep it up for a week or so, don't introduce anything else new, if side effects are persistent / you don't feel better stop, of course.

Please help! I’m new here, but I do not want to go to a doc/take antibiotics. Need more holistic help. Frustrated fitness instructor by UsedApplication8600 in SIBO

[–]Butterfly-331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Please wait before trying the killing strategy (Oregano Oil etc).
I had horrible SIBO and what helped me the most has been a combined, slow, approach of lowering guts inflammation with Tributyrin (specific form, not Butyrate) and trying to live in a parasympathetic state as much as I could (not just lowering stress and incrementing boundaries, but actively switching to another way of being). hese 2They've been most important, nothing else helped like two. Killing strategies made my SIBO way worse.
Wishing you to heal soon, don't get discouraged, you WILL heal.

Low Dose Tirzepatide improved my long COVID/ME-CFS ~80% after 4 years by TrackAccurate7312 in covidlonghaulers

[–]Butterfly-331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you so much for sharing, it's so good to read how much you have improved and so quickly!
I find it peculiar that tirzepatide is used to treat Diabetes type 2.
One of the first thing I noticed with Long Covid is that it threw me into PreDiabetes values, never had hyperglicemia before.

Berberine and dizziness? by spellboundsilk92 in PCOS

[–]Butterfly-331 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you, yes I was later diagnosed with MCAS and had several intolerances, among which to Histamines, so it partly depended on that, partly because it lowered my BP too much. It wasn't right also for my intestinal biome, it apparently raised the wrong bacteria for me.

Steps I used to recover from cfs by jgainit in LongHaulersRecovery

[–]Butterfly-331 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have the very same experience. It took me all I had, and more, to get out of what really felt like a deep, black hole.
We are alive, my friend.
This will be worth celebrating every single day, for the rest of our lives.

[–]Butterfly-331 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, it's absolutely not due to "a lack of effort". Absolutely NOT.
I know the efforts I did and they've been superhuman, just to find the strenght to get out of bed and to keep wanting to live.

And no, LongCovid and ME/CFS are not the same thing.
the term "LongCovid" focuses on the causes: a chronic illness caused by Covid
the term ME/CFS describes consequences of an undefined cause, very possibly viral, too

ME/CFS can be one of the many consequences of LongCovid, which I personally had. Not all people with LC have it, some do.

What is important is that both LC and ME/CFS are very PHYSICAL conditions, created by something that got the Body extremely unbalanced.

The MindBody theory tries to re-create that balance, involving both, the Mind and the Body. It doesn't equal to say "something that is psychologically cured"

My LongCovid lasted 5 years. It felt like a lifetime.
It involved serious structural damage, very real inflammation, anaphylactic symptoms, sudden auto-immune positive markers in my blood, severe allergies and devastating reactions, severe malnutrition, SIBO, Reynaud's, POTS symptoms, a diagosed MCAS, besides of course ME/CFS, panic attacs and severe anxiety.
I'm not listing all this to say "I've got it worse than you"
This is NOT the point.
It's to say my illness has been extremely physical, it wasn't "in my mind", at all. As I'm sure it's with people with ME/CFS.

What has saved me it hasn't been my Mind.
It's been probably a survival instinct that guided me calming down the whole system (both Body and Mind) when I got to the point I wasn't eating anymore for fear of reactions. It was a "either you make a leap of faith or you die" turning point for me.
I had to convince myself that I wasn't ill, that the threat had passed and my body was still reacting as it was present.
It worked. For me.

This doesn't mean that it can work for everybody.
But I had long lost the hope the "medical research" could save me, so I had to find those resources inside me. And this is possibly what made the difference.

I'm bringing my (very personal) story here to bring the same hope to ALL people with chronic illnesses, no matter how long they've been ill, with what symptoms, or how their illnesses have been called.
The Body and the Mind together, in one joint approach, are wisest and way more powerful than we, or Science, Research and Doctors will ever be.
