Re: Any thoughts on abdominal pain with chelation? -

[Guest guest]

I do get heartburn every once in a great while when taking my ala so

that is a good thought. My daughter takes TD-ALA as opposed to the

oral version so I don't think that is the source of her problem.

Thanks for the idea.

chelators sometimes give people heartburn, wondering if that has

something to do with what you are seeing. Due to this, I have known

some kids to vomit while on them, normally this will just happen in

the beginning of chelation and it sometimes help to reduce the dose

until they get used to the chelators.
