A bad NAC reaction suggests that you should try a thiol exclusion for a week and retest with some thiol foods in a week or ten days. If you feel a reaction (often brain fog, dizziness, or a redistribution headache) then you will benefit by restricting thiols. About 30-40% of mercury toxic people do.
I have been taking 1 gm of glycine and 2 of glutamine with each of three meals for two and a half years. It helps the liver produce glutathione in the liver and increases bile production (by improving detox?). I tried dropping it and the stools became light colored in a day. Some people react to the glutamine. If you react to MSG with a headache or migraine, you are not a likely candidate for glutamine. The two amino acids use up cysteine and seem to reduce the thiol reaction. I can now eat thiols.
Better methylation can affect many pathways and I had also started M-B12 and methyl-folate as i did not get along well with cheaper methyl donors. I mention this because it may be that the methylation supplements also contributed.
What works for some may not for others. But glycine and glutamine are worth checking out.
