I had the genetic mapping done and I am working with a nutritionist that is part of the MTHFR.net started in May 2017 I am compound heterogeneous for the C677T and A1298C

I was on PPI for 7 years and 1 year ago I had blood test for B12 and my Dr. said it was normal @ 350.

I have been diagnosed with SFPN thru skin punch biopsy in November 2016 but had symptoms for over a year prior

January 2017 I started taking supplements based on recommendations on this web site. B12, CoQ-10, Zinc, DHA, EPA...ect

The nutritionist had me do the Spectra Cell test to see what my numbers are now.

What came back was surprising.
Deficient in B12 and I am taking (5mg Methl/day)
Deficient in Zinc
Deficient in Glutamine
Deficient in Glutathione
Deficient in COQ-10
Deficient in Selenium
Total Antioxidant Function Deficient
EPA Deficient
DHA Deficient

My Question for you mrsD is could my SFPN have been caused by the low B12 and the inability to detoxify because of the deficient Antioxidant Function caused by the Mutations

I started doing Hot Yoga and for the next couple days after my symptoms are greatly reduced.

My Nutritionist feels that the combination of the mutations and the low b12 I was not able to methylate which caused mal-absorption of nutrition thus the slow onset of the SFPN.

She has me on the better COQ-10, Digestive Enzymes because of the low DHA and EPA, more ZINC, Spiralia, D/K2, Rhodiola, Fermented foods, Probiotics, Prebiotics plus I went Gluten Free 7 months ago working on getting good gut health.

We are going to do another test in October to see where the numbers are

She was surprised that I was deficient in all of those things even though I was taking them, She said I must have been a mess and would have like to see the number prior to me taking the supplements.

Why don’t our Dr’s do these tests and tell us to work with a nutritionist….to get healthy it just ****** me OFF!

My GP just blows it off as not a issue

Comments would be appreciated
