And as long as it has been 3 or more months since amalgam removal, you could certainly try chelation with ALA alone, and see how you do. Some people do just fine or better on ALA alone.---------Jackie ._,_.___ Messages in this topic (1) Reply (via web post) | Start a new topic Messages MARKETPLACE ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Earn your degree in as few as 2 years - Advance your career with an AS, BS, MS degree - College-Finder.net.

I think that the first thing that you need to do is investigate supplements and diets that are designed to lessen irritable bowel syndrome especially as related to mercury poisoning. Check out the " Diet - how to pick the right one for your kid " and " Neutrophils " files in the files sections here. Also check the relevant sections of " Amalgam Illness " . Make sure that you are gradually introducing the most essential supplements on Andy's supplement list and bringing them up to the doses that he recommends. It is possible that an IgE/IgG food panel might help you to identify foods that you are sensitive to that can be eliminated from your diet. It is possible that a diet low in sulfur foods would be helpful. The only way to determine this is by elimination and challenge. Be sure to find good probiotics and use high doses of them. Andy does mention this in " Amalgam Illness " and often in his posts but many people overlook how important this is to improving the balance of gut flora. After you are satisfied that you have made significant progress with the above, then try low dose ALA. Low dose DMPS would be another good chelator to try. It can only be obtained by prescription. It is possible that you may be able to tolerate DMSA in future. Good luck J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted December 28, 2007 Report Share Posted December 28, 2007 I had a similar reaction to DMSA when I had not realised my yeast levels were obviously too high. Even the little sugar/wheat/gluten etc I was still having in my diet, though not excessively, was enough to cause candida or keep candida at high levels without me realising. I had to go on a thorough candida diet, zero sugar, zero wheat and gluten, limited or no fruit/grain/milk in order to start seeing results and NO cheating. I went through the candida die off first (worsening of symptoms intially) and then felt better after a few weeks. I realised that the little I had still been including was causing big issues. Total elimination and patience is required to see results. Then I was able to handle the DMSA. Redistribution of metals/toxins can also cause massive gut problems, as well as high yeast mixed with chelating. Diet is extremely important to control these problems. Some people may add antifungals to this, but diet is the main one to correct. If you're already on a strict candida diet and have been, then it's highly possible that DMSA may not be for you and resting up and waiting for a couple of months and just doing ALA in isolation maybe the only other option. Unless you can get hold of oral DMPS? > > After having a painful reaction to even low doses of DMSA (lots of pain > and discomfort in the abdomen) I am wondering what my options are.
