Methionine or SamE

[Lindeee]

So, I've been taking the SAMe for a while and I think it is helping..I have also been following (for the most part) the histamine diet. I have been taking glucosomine with MSM on and off..not sure if that does anything. I also stopped taking prilosec in the morning and am taking later in the day with food.....I was getting this vicious burning mid-morning...trying to see if that helps. I am a lot better. I also have been taking extra Magnesium as I'd read stuff on that and I'm always constipated anyway.

I don't know if it is a form of sulphate. I had tried it for the osteoarthritis but it is quite pricey to be using on a daily basis, so I discontinued it. I always take baths with epsom salts, but my reason is for relaxing the pelvic floor muscles.

Isn't sam-E a form of sulphate? I have been trying to find more info on that. I suspect in my case a sensitivity to salicylates and sulphate is supposed to help with that so i have been taking epsom salt baths to absorb it through the skin.
Whenever i read about people with salicylate sensitivity they often have other food chemical sensitivities like histamines and also amines as well. I wish i had more good info on this but i am just starting to follow this trail.

I know it's used for osteoarthritis, and also for depression. I had tried it once, but as I recall I got a little too much of an 'up' mood. Had not thought of it for bladder inflammation, but would be interesting to see if anyone else has used it for this.

I am not taking any of those so I can't help you but I know that there are other members that are. I think cmclien (Cindi) is knowledgable about some of these.

Be sure to talk to you Dr or a pharmacist about adding any new supplements to your treatment plan.

hey all...I just started taking this supplement. I had been doing some research on the whole histamine issue and it really makes sense for me. I had read that this amino acid reduces histamine in the body. I am also now taking Magnesium and Glucosomine with MSM. Can anyone weigh in on this? Thanks
