But we may see more doctors lean this way in the future. </p> <p>@Mrs.Someone: agree! I think they totally should still test for it just to be sure that in combination of other things there isn't an issue there. But if it's a single mutation I can se why they don't want to alarm patients. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1548643 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:03:40 +0000 spaniellove 1548643@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: Yes, that would explain why BCBS denied my MTHFR testing and said it was investigational. Then again, they also denied payment for my fetal fibronectin testing, saying it was investigational. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1548641 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:02:38 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1548641@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: I'm on a supplement called 5-MTHF on top of my prenatal that has Folate (instead of Folic Acid). I agree with THOU, just having one mutation isn't anything to be concerned about.</p> <p>@T.H.O.U.: I think this is some what true, but it "stacks up" with other clotting issues, which can cause loss. Having 2 mutations is also a problem because not absorbing folic acid can lead to birth defects (spina bifida, cleft palate, etc) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1548639 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 20:01:27 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1548639@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@spaniellove: I haven't read much into it but a quick search turned up this </p> <p><a href="http://www.wellmark.com/Provider/MedPoliciesAndAuthorizations/MedicalPolicies/policies/_Genetic_Testing_for_MTHFRPrinterFriendly.aspx" rel="nofollow">http://www.wellmark.com/Provider/MedPoliciesAndAuthorizations/MedicalPolicies/policies/_Genetic_Testing_for_MTHFRPrinterFriendly.aspx</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1548621 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 19:51:12 +0000 spaniellove 1548621@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@T.H.O.U.: I came across research finding that it was only really linked to loss in certain minority ethnicities (of which I happen to be one), which may explain why. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1548589 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 19:26:26 +0000 T.H.O.U. 1548589@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@FaithFertility: just a heads up, my specialist mentioned that the OB organization (whatever the big one is I can't remember) is starting to find that the MTHFR really may not be linked to loss/infertility and may be changing their standard on the RPL panel to not test for it. So especially if you only have one mutation I don't know I would kill myself over it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1548503 Sat, 05 Apr 2014 18:37:20 +0000 FaithFertility 1548503@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs.Someone: thanks for responding, yeah I think. I dr.googled a little too much when I got the news, it seems that I am too on those pre natals and RE is not concerned, do you do anything else??? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1545047 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 23:19:48 +0000 Mrs.Someone 1545047@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Juice diets aren't particularly healthy in my book, too much sugar and no protein. 1 copy of MTHFR isn't a huge deal really, something like 40% of people have it. I have 2 copies and was really only put on a particular folic acid for it, nothing else. Mthfr.net is a great resource if you have questions. I hope this is your answer though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1545035 Thu, 03 Apr 2014 23:06:14 +0000 AmeliaBedilia 1545035@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Metanx is very helpful for this. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1530802 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 20:00:05 +0000 FaithFertility 1530802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Thanks for the comment, good to know, that others are getting that same treatment! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1530797 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:54:55 +0000 blackbird 1530797@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have MTHFR and mine was treated the same way, but I don't juice. I need to eat my calories or I get SO hungry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1530752 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:33:28 +0000 FaithFertility 1530752@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@LovelyPlum: thank you, that is the outlook I am taking :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1530719 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 19:16:15 +0000 LovelyPlum 1530719@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry about the MTHFR, but I'm really glad that you have some answers! It seems like lots of ladies have had success with a change in their folic acid/vitamin and adding aspirin to the regimen. Hopefully this is the first step in you getting a sticky baby! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/juicing-for-mthfr-diet#post-1530640 Fri, 28 Mar 2014 18:23:25 +0000 FaithFertility 1530640@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was just given news that I have a one copy gene mutation of MTHFR, RE did a RPL panel and this came up, I am being put on a different pre natal and an aspirin regimen but have been seeing a lot about juicing online...any one have any info on juicing, MTHFR or good juice diets????? Thanks!!!! </p>
