DMPS vs DMSA gastro effects?

[Guest guest]

jaytee and all, I've been reading your praises of DMPS, and wondering

if you or anyone has noticed a difference between DMPS and DMSA on your gut.

I notice that after a couple days of DMSA, at just 12.5mg per 3.5 hours, I

get gas building up. It gets worse and worse, and is now the limiting factor

for how long I can go on a round -- otherwise I actually feel a bit better.

I want to raise the dose and I'd like to go for longer than 4 days, but by

that time the gas gets really bad and I just can't take it anymore. It

smells pretty sulfury, so I guess that's the problem? Same diet off DMSA

doesn't cause this.

Are there any antidotes for this?

If I could tell my doc that DMPS doesn't have this reaction, he may be

willing to give it to me sooner. He plans to, but feels I'm in too bad shape

at the moment, and thinks DMSA is less stressful on my system. (I know this

is not really true, right?, but he's still thinking in terms of people on

large doses, I guess). Maybe I should go to his office and fart a lot

...he may change his mind.

Thanks,
