Re: Starting over - have a question

[Guest guest]

Nanci,

The first round I began having very loose bowels. By the second round

my food was going through me pretty much undigested. By the end of

the third round I was having constant pain in the bowel plus

heartburn, nausea, and a dry mouth with a metallic taste. And I

gained five pounds.

I am still having these symptom although they are somewhat better

since I am mostly eating only yogurt and oatmeal.

This happened in spite of - or maybe because of (?) - the fact that I

was taking Now Super Digestive Enzymes, Jarrow Bile Acid Factors with

every meal.

I would appreciate any insight that you could give me.

Also, can you comment on the reliability of the lead reading from the

challenge test.

Thanks.

Terri

Hi Terri.

Sorry I do not have any ideas about your symptoms. I have not

heard of DMSA causing diarrhea.. With the ALA my bowels were

more loose to begin with but that has not been bad.

Some people do not do well with DMSA -- anyone know why that

is??

Also do not know enough about the lead levels through

challenge tests..

Yes you should get this figured out before continuing.. You

need to be eating and processing food well during chelating.

======For the record, I am on Day 2 of Round 1 at this point. I, too, noticed

very loose

bowels yesterday and today. Until I read this, I was thinking maybe it was a

result of too

much Magnesium, but I thought that didn't fit, since I know I've actually

decreased my Mag.

dosage to below bowel tolerance already. Must be the DMSA. Not far enough along,

though,

to call it a problem for me yet. Just an observation.
