Hi Realbad,

Foods to avoid

Egg yolks (eggs whites are fine)
Organ meats (liver, kidney, heart, etc)
Veal
Mutton
Most seafood (although freshwater fish is supposed to be okay)
Beans (kidney, white, navy, etc)
Soy products (soybeans, soy flour, etc)
Cruciferous vegetables (brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower)
Lecithin and lecithin containing products
Peas
Peanuts

Sample Diet

Choline is a necessary part of a healthy diet and it’s important not to become deficient as it could lead to certain health problems. The RDA for men 14 yrs and older is 550 mg and for women 19 yrs of age and older is 425 mg.


Breakfast

Oatmeal (all cereals are fine except wheat germ)
Apple or orange juice (all others are fine as well)
2 slices whole wheat toast or toasted bagel
Coffee or tea (fine except for decaffeinated instant coffee for some reason)

Snack

Fruit (any kind)
Carrot sticks (my fave!)
small handful of almonds or walnuts (okay in moderation)
yogurt

Lunch

Vegetable soup (except those with cruciferous veggies)
Salad (same as above)
Turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread
Salad dressing (most are fine)

Snack

Fruit
Cut veggies
yogurt
Rice cakes

Supper

Steamed Vegetables (again, no cruciferous)
Brown rice
Grilled chicken with seasoning (herbs and spices are all fine)
Salad with dressing
Fruit

I didn't include weights or the actual choline count in mgs. This is more to give a general idea.

As for me, I’ve been following a modified version of the TMAU protocols set out by the US National Institutes of Health (NIH) for about 2 years now and it’s really the only thing that’s worked for me. My current routine is:

Low choline diet-I have a liver profile done every year and have not experienced any problems so far.
Copper chlorophyllin-300mgs once a day
Vitamin B2 (riboflavin)-100mgs twice a day
Activated charcoal-once or twice a week (taken at different times than other supplements)
Probiotics-twice a day

I take other vitamins and minerals which are supposed to help with odours like vitamin C, B6, D3, biotin and cal-mag with zinc as well.

If you are interested in more information the following websites are excellent. Tons of articles, advice ,etc.
