Could your Sulfite Sensitivity really just be a Molybdenum Deficiency

To All,

This for those who have a Sulfite allergy specifically.

But I also creating this as a reference article for Molybdenum......and how It is important for us to "Detox" our body.

Without it Oxidative Stress builds up in the body leading to inflammation and disease.

Here are the references for anyone who has Sulfite Allergy or SIBO or a Candida (Yeast) Problem.

https://www.eonutrition.co.uk/post/got-sibo-here-s-why-you-need-to-get-your-thiamine-status-checked

(And your Molybdenum levels checked)

https://www.sciencedirect.com/topics/medicine-and-dentistry/molybdenum-deficiency

Here is research on Molybdenum's possible role in Type 2 Diabetes...

Entitled "Trace elements status in diabetes mellitus type 2: Possible role of the interaction between molybdenum and copper in the progress of typical complications"

https://www.diabetesresearchclinicalpractice.com/article/S0168-8227(10)00604-2/fulltext

Another on Molybdenum deficiency  in wildlife leading to Diabetes like syndrome...

Entitled "A syndrome of molybdenosis, copper deficiency, and type 2 diabetes in the moose population of south-west Sweden"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/10813452/

And because the Molybdenum/Copper ratio is important in Type 2 diabetes I am also including this article on Copper deficiency in Diabetes...

Entitled "Effect of copper or insulin in diabetic copper-deficient rats"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/6344092/

I know I have had these deficiencies and after supplementing with them my health got better.

See this Posterboy blog post about these Micronutrient deficiencies in Celiac's....

Every time I found I had a Vitamin deficiency.......the doctor's said it was RARE and I couldn't have one....

And every time I have supplemented with my "Rare" Missing Vitamin Deficiency my health has improved...

I have found most Celiac's could be low in as many as 20+ Vitamin/Minerals....

It has been a long and winding road as they say.....but around each curve in the road (or set back in my health) I have found a Vitamin Deficiency going undiagnosed and supplement with it has helped it...

See this research entitled "Copper deficiency as a cause of neutropenia in a case of Celiac disease"

https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/27635061/

It wasn't the Celiac disease that was the cause of the Nutropenia...it was the Copper deficiency that occurs in/with a Celiac diagnsois!

I will quote the whole abstract because it is short!

Abstract

"We report a 17 year-old male patient, who presented with chronic diarrhoea, progressive pallor, short stature, anaemia (haemoglobin of 4.9 g/dL) and neutropenia and was diagnosed as coeliac disease. His neutropenia did not respond to 8 months of gluten-free diet, iron, folic acid and vitamin B12 therapy. So we suspected copper deficiency and his serum copper levels were tested, which was low. His neutrophil counts normalised after 2 months of copper supplementation. Hence we concluded that the cause of neutropenia in our case was copper deficiency."

I am that "Male Patient" that they don't think could have a Copper deficiency....

My High Iron levels are from my Low Copper Status and probably my Low Molybdenum levels/status too!

https://medicalxpress.com/news/2007-07-iron-copper-relationship.html#:~:text=Iron and copper relationship is studied. Hereditary hemochromatosis,body iron levels resulting from any medical condition

And because Doctor's are  not studying nutrition as a cause....when they see a nutrition problem....they can't understand....or haven't studied...it is pronounced as a "Genetic" Problem instead....

See this Polycythemia Vera thread for more details about why Cooper and Iron are related problems...

I hope this is helpful but it is not medical advice.

It's interesting how nutrient deficiencies can cause a chain reaction and many other issues. Celiac disease definitely doesn't stop with just a gluten-free diet, and most people need supplementation to fully recover.

Scott,

Here is the best article I have read on these complex inter relationships!

      makes sense. sometimes you learn one path and never question it until you see someone take a different path

      Interesting I read that toasted kasha groats have nutty flavor which I thought like oatmeal with banana and yogurt. Yes quinoa I have for dinner looking to switch oatmeal to buckwheat for breakfast. I have to look into amaranth 
    • Aretaeus Cappadocia
      I've never tried bananas or yogurt with kasha. It would probably work but in my mind I think of kasha as being on the savory side so I always add butter, peanut butter, or shredded cheddar cheese. Next time I make it I will try yogurt and banana to see for myself. Amaranth has a touch of sweet and I like to pair it with fruit. Quinoa is more neutral. I eat it plain, like rice, with chicken stock or other savory things, or with coconut milk. Since coconut milk works, I would think yogurt would work (with the quinoa). I went to the link you posted. I really don't know why they rinse the kasha. I've eaten it for decades and never rinsed it. Other than that, her recipe seems fine (that is, add the buckwheat with the water, rather than wait until the water is boiling). She does say something that I forgot: you want to get roasted/toasted buckwheat or you will need to toast it yourself. I've never tried buckwheat flakes. One potential issue with flakes is that there are more processing steps and as a rule of thumb, every processing step is another opportunity for cross-contamination. I have tried something that was a finer grind of the buckwheat than the whole/coarse and I didn't like it as much. But, maybe that was simply because it wasn't "normal" to me, I don't know.

      The basic seems more like oatmeal. You can also add yogurt banana to it like oatmeal right. I see rinsing as first step in basic recipes like this one https://busycooks.com/how-to-cook-toasted-buckwheat-groats-kasha/ I don't understand why since kasha is toasted and not raw. What about buckwheat flake cereal or is this better to go with.

      Celiac disease can have neurological associations, but the better-described ones include gluten ataxia, peripheral neuropathy, headaches or migraine, seizures, cognitive symptoms, and, rarely, cerebral calcifications or white-matter changes. Some studies and case reports describe brain white-matter lesions in people with celiac disease, but these are not specific to celiac disease and can have many other explanations. A frontal lobe lesion could mean many different things depending on the exact wording of the report: a white-matter spot, inflammation, demyelination, a small old stroke, migraine-related change, infection, trauma, vascular change, seizure-related change, tumor-like lesion, artifact, or something that resolved on repeat imaging. The word “transient” usually means it changed or disappeared, which can happen with some inflammatory, seizure-related, migraine-related, vascular, or imaging-artifact situations.  Hopefully they will find nothing serious.
