Theoretically what happens if you OD on thyroid. I've always been worried about upping my dose when I was one it. Which has caused me to more than likely be too conservative in my use of it.

This study seems to indicative that mast cell degranulation is a very early response induced by TD (Thiamine Deficiency)

@LucH said in DAO Deficiency:

Mind unsuspicious counterproductive effects. A nonsense, I know. One example: High dose thiamine. So if taking one supplement, make a search to see if there is an impact on histamine or estrogen.
PS: Mind when eating canned fish (tuna) or pre-packaged cold cuts such as ham, sausage and everything that is smoked or fermented (blue cheese and old cheese).
Hope it could help to manage.

What do you mean by the above? Are you saying high dose thiamine would help? And are you saying that canned fish and cold cuts can make histamine worse?

My wife has been having an issue with histamine dumps for about a year now. It always happens right before her cycle where she has "allergy" like symptoms. Congestion, puffy face, body aches. For awhile I would just give her cyproheptadine during to help alleviate the symptoms but it wasn't a solution long term. After consulting with several doctors we just got shrugged shoulders and "try antihistamines and stop eating high histamine food". This was useless advice because it didn't solve the problem. We eventually went to a homeopathic doctor a friend recommended and the doctor put her on some homeopathic remedy which worked. When i inquired about what it was it was a homeopathic tincture containing DAO enzyme. Which makes sense since that enzyme is responsible for the clearing of histamine. But just like the Allopathic doctors, the homeopathic didn't provide any insight on HOW to fix a DAO enzyme deficiency. In their mind the tincture will just "heal her" eventually but the moment she stopped taking it it came back.

So my question is from a Bioenergetic standpoint how does one go about correcting a DAO deficiency with diet?

I seem to be struggling with symptoms of low stomach acid. Food just feels like it sits in my stomach like a rock. Would a teaspoon of ACV with each meal be helpful? Anything else people would recommend?

@DavidPS Hmm. Seems to be many possible causes. I did consume too much to drink on New Year evening and its been happening since then. Possibly a vitamin or mineral deficiency from too much alcohol

Last night after taking Thyroid and aspirin I got a pins and needles sensation through my body as well as warmth. Similar to how you feel after taking beta alanine in pre workout. I again had the same sensation after eating lunch and taking thyroid. My dose both times were one drop of tyromix. I expect the warmth but the tingly pins and needles sensation is new.

Any thoughts on what is causing this?

Is there an actual protocol for this or is it just "take dextrose several times a day"?

Interesting. I began workout out again recently as well and have had similar symptoms. Not any nausea but loose stools and upset digestion. I know lifting is a stressful event for the body. My symptoms aren’t as severe as yours but I also take 10 MeO Harmalen every morning which could be reduce symptoms but they definitely get worse through the day and especially post workout. Maybe I’ll try cypro and shift back to a HIT routine and less volume

As the title suggestions, is there a Peaty take on supplementing HBCD?

@ricksaban I found that 20-25mg post workout helps with muscle building. Its not anything ground breaking mind you, but I seemed to put on muscle slightly faster than if I were not taking it.

A lot of bone broth, potatoes, pot roast, cheese, sourdough bread. I essentially adopt what you would expect an English medieval peasant to consume

Share your idealabs stack or other supplement stacks you have found to be helpful with athletic/weightlifting performance and muscle building.

For me 6-Keto-P4 has been the most beneficial for its anti-catabolic effect

Is there any negative outcomes of long term aspirin use? I just realized I have been using it everyday for about a year now. 325-900mg a day… normal my just 325 mg. I take K2 and have never had issues with bleeding. I take it before bed and it helps me sleep like a baby.

Only thing that concerns me as I have heard it can potentially cause kidney issues.

@RandomUser I take it periodically maybe once or twice. Effects are less noticeable but I’ve also been in an elevated mood ever since the first dose. I have read on the Peat forum that it is like LSD in the sense that it can shift your mindset for a long time so it might just be useful as a “as needed” tool. It does lower prolactin so I generally dose it after intimate time with my wife

My wife has been having this issue for about 6 months. Once or twice a month she will have a very bad “allergy” like symptoms develop. Itchy hot face, puffy face, stuffy nose, congestion, headache, body aches and chills. The first time it happened it was after a night of drinking wine so I figured it might be histamine. It happened a few weeks ago after a night of eating shrimp. And then this morning it happened again but no particularly high histamine foods were eaten. She noticed that it seems to happen right before (a day or two) her menstrual cycle. But there are a few times it happened a week or so before.

I have been giving her 2-4mg of cyproheptadine before bed when it happens and it will be cleared up by the next day. But it’s hasn’t solved the issue long term. It will eventually return.

Does anyone have any idea the cause or what to look for here? Is it histamine? Estrogen? Serotonin? The proximity to her menstrual cycle makes me think it’s hormonal.

Any help would be appreciated. Every doctor we have consulted is no help (shocker I know). They just suggest hepatoxic allergy meds.

I am trying to change my macro ratios to lean more carb heavy. I’ve been tracking my food intake the last few days and my fat intake is way too high. I’m usually getting around 140 grams of protein, 300g of carbs and 170 g of fat. What I would like to see is 500-600 g of carbs and significantly less fat.

My issue is I cannot just sit and eat plain ass rice or potatoes. It’s insanely boring. I need some suggestion on good carb sources like fruit, specifically good high carb fruits. I can always add more white sugar. But I don’t want to do too much just from sugar. Also how to lower fat? It’s in everything I eat: dairy, meat, yogurt, cheese.

TLDR: advice on good carb sources?

@RandomUser is there any good way to help the liver? Taurine maybe

Brief tldr: I eat Peaty, avoid what we all try to avoid, look to manage stress, use red light, take aspirin etc, etc.

I take TyroMix from IdeaLabs. I’m currently taking 6 drops spaced through the day. So roughly around what would be a grain. Overall I don’t feel bad. Fairly upbeat, decent energy though the day, good mood, good libido etc. But my temps and pulse haven’t budged. Still waking up at 96-97 and only getting up to 97.5, maybe 98 during the day. My pulse when I am at a complete rest drops to 50-60 range.

Should I keep going Tyromix dose? I’ve been on the 6 drops for two weeks now. Should I double it or just add a few more drops for another two week?

I frankly much prefer IdeaLabs products and dosing them is easier imo. Not only do I get them within 5 business days instead of several months but I find trying to nibble or cut up a pill to be a colossal pain the in the ass
