Any insight or advice would be greatly appreciated.
After a couple of years of on-and-off keto/carnivore and high caffeine consumption, my body would no longer allow me to carry on with the diet and I developed a strong caffeine intolerance. I started getting dizzy after eating, depression, fatigue, hair shedding, issues with ED, and getting weird histamine symptoms.
After a couple of years of trial and error, I was able to get by on a low histamine/ low sulfur diet (as I believe I developed hydrogen sulfur sibo). All symptoms improved but were still not optimal and left only eating a restricted diet.
I began taking around 300-450 mcg of Molybdenum with b6 and my Libido, morning wood, and erection quality became consistently great as if I was a teenager again (28 now). I also gained a lot of energy and felt overall fantastic for a week or so. However, after a week, my energy levels began to tank but I kept up the supplement due to the libido benefits until after a month when that became hit and miss and it was clear I had a copper deficiency. I started getting dizzy after eating, major hair shedding, easily bruised, and had general histamine symptoms.
I stopped the molybdenum supplement and started taking copper with each meal which eventually stopped the dizziness/spaced-out feeling mostly and again gave me the libido benefits. However, I'm left with Tinnitus when I go to bed and after 2 weeks my erection quality is hit and miss again. I feel like I've depleted something else with the copper but am unsure how to proceed from here.
The whole journey since my keto/carnivore days has been a rollercoaster and is pretty draining at times and would love to figure out what i f'ed up to get myself into this situation. Whether the excess zinc/iron from the diet caused a metal imbalance like copper and molybdenum or it's mainly a microbiome issue I need to sort out.
I've spent plenty of money on Drs, naturopaths, and blood tests but nothing has been conclusive, apart from a low copper/ceruloplasmin from the Molybdemum.
I gave myself an issue with oxalates due to high consumption during this time and I struggle with salicylates (they give me ED).
A few things that fixed the ED and other symptoms pretty much instantly included, very high sugar intake, Green tea, Betaine HCL and occasionally Epsom salt baths but unfortunately these were short lived and no longer have an effect.
Again if anyone has any pointers I'd be extremely grateful.
