Just watched the show, the girl was brilliant and courageous and it was all explained so well in the few minutes they had.

Whoever is on candida diets or raw diets etc, you must watch this.

The interview only just aired today so I’m very sure some super duper extra extra nice person out there will upload this for us

Clips from that show regularly appear on youtube so I’m sure this one will too.

Fortunately, I didn’t have to wait very long. Here is the interview for anyone who is interested.

Deebo, I've sent you a private message also.

I am happy to try and help with dietary advice but I'm really not having much success with controlling my odour through diet to be honest.Other people have however.

I find double dosing on vitamin B2/riboflavin (I take 400mg a day) is helpful in the case of tmau cos it helps break down the choline in the food i eat. The less choline and lecithin in the system the less of the smelly TMA produced. Your supplements should not have lecithin in them. Soya flour or margarine is a definite no as is all protein-rich food really.

Apart from that i eat courgettes, aubergines, carrots, celery, cucumber, potatoes, organic flour and water dumplings, most fresh fruit, sometimes white rice, very occasionally red lentils (bad but need some protein!), occasionally lactofree cheese or mozzarella. This is a diet based on low choline foods so may be suitable if you have been tested positive for tmau.

It's not a healthy diet (whereas the anti-candida diet is - with all its wholegrains and quinoa) but experiment with it if you have tmau. See this list of low choline foods:

Thanks guys for all the support and please try to sign the MEBO Research petition I mentioned at the end of the TV interview:

@hali_grl, lol ok

I'm also gonna sign this petition thing.
and btw TMAU can affect just your breath. There are a lot of factors that determine how TMAU will manifest itself.
