I am new to the SB community, trying to find out as much as I can because friend's daughter has it. What is the benefit of folic acid on SB? Does it improve the symptoms in a significant way?
Although the exact causes of Spina Bifida (SB) are not yet known, maintaining healthy levels of folate (called folic acid when taken via a supplement) have been identified as a key factor in prevention.
Thank you for the list. It is very helpful. Since folate is the type of vitamin that your body cannot store, it is important to eat foods each day that contain folate.

A few other foods that are options:
Eggs - 1 egg = 25 mcg of folate
Cantaloupe - 1 cup = 37 mcg folate

I have eggs whenever my mom cooks them. I love scrambled eggs when there is ham inside them. I wish I could cook like her I just need to be able to learn in the kitchen.
I have always enjoyed eating asparagus, it is one of my favourite vegetables, so I find it great news that it is actually one of the foods that you can get folic acid from. I think it is a great idea to try to get as much as possible from your diet rather than taking supplements if you can. Luckily, the foods that are high in folic acid are also high in other things too, and this means that you should be able to be healthier in all kinds of ways.
