I have MCAS and my daughter has ME symptoms. My daughter and I both take ALCAR and in order to avoid getting a choline depletion headache I also take citicoline (aka CDP-choline). I don't give my daughter citicoline since she eats ~ 4 whole eggs a week and also eats beans (I can't eat either). I've been thinking about giving her the supplement, though. I had been a bit concerned about TMAO, but I'm thinking the TMAO story is probably a red herring.*

Evidence of a causal and modifiable relationship between kidney function and circulating trimethylamine N-oxide with implications for heart and kidney disorders https://www.medrxiv.org/content/10.1101/2022.11.08.22282073v1
Preprint from the EU Metacardis study (1741 adults) showing that increasing circulating serum fasting levels of #TMAO are associated with 1) increasing age and 2) reduced kidney function. #Microbiota and #diet play minor roles. Context: metabolic health more important.
