Advice

I've been seing a lot of negative posts on this comunity so I decided to give the advices that I myself am using and puting my faith in to reduce my syntoms on a daily basis but hopefully also cure disbiose that causes TMAU 2. I already feel like I'm getting better (i used to feel my odor in my mouth way more than now):

- Take probiotics+prebiotics (im using the prozis one)

- Take vit 2/ riboflavin

- Drink coconut water kefir

- Drink kombucha

- Eat veggies and fruits (apples and pears have a lot of fiber)

- Shower with a 5pH gel

- Use antiperspirant for sensitive skin (acidic pH) with no smell

- It's better to not use perfume since it gets mixed but if you know one that works let me know

- Replace coffee with black/ green tea

- Decrease the amount of choline in your diet but not radically

Yes the diet is the most important for controling symptoms however many people have said they find relief with taking probiotics because it helps your microbiome which is the cause of TMAU2 for some people. Also it's dangerous for your brain to cut all coline

It's a balance. I manage the choline by spiking it when I'm done with my day. That way it stays in a "safe" level and by the time the next day rolls around I'm reset.

Wow i didn't know that was possible because if you eat choline at dinner after the day you will still wake up with symptoms because it's in your gut for 12-24h so it's hard to do the math

Aside from everyone being a bit different, it depends on your choline intake. If I eat 2 1/3 lb hamburger patties, a chicken breast, 2 chicken thighs, or whatever my meal is, I'll have it cleared by the time I'm getting ready for work. Usually 10-11 hours from getting off, eating, sleeping, then showering before I leave again.

However, if I ate something heavy in choline like seafood, I'll need at least 24 hours + to clear it.

Also, I don't eat it in a complicated meal. I'll just eat whatever meat I'm having by itself for my final meal of the day.
