What supps to give with ALA to calm stomach?

[Guest guest]

We added ALA to DMSA this weekend and it looks as though it's made my son's

stomach ache. He's still his happy go lucky self, but I can tell his

stomach isn't quite right. We are battling yeast (and losing at the moment)

- so I don't know if it's yeast or the ALA specifically. I gave him some

magnesium after the last dose. But for those who give something with the

ALA, what do you give? And what kind of dose would you give with 8mg ALA?

Thank you!!

Interesting. Did you see my message about 20 msgs. ago? I was

having the same problem with my son. He is still having the stomach

aches. It doesn't seem that bad so we are continuing, but I would

like to know why too.

Hi , I have been researching this now that you said the same

thing. It appears ALA may cause low blood glucose or hypoglycemia or

maybe I read it wrong that it causes low blood sugar when you already

have hypoglycemia. It seems we may need to lower the dose because a

stomach ache is the side effect of excessive ALA.

Another thing I have thought about is that the brand of ALA I have

has no fillers (magnesium stearate) and may be more potent because of

that. I have read that lubricants such as magnesium stearate can

hinder absorption and make a supplement less effective. Perhaps this

is one reason why we need a lower than recommended dose. Let me know

if you find out anything else. Thanks, Liz

Hi,

I have successfully used alkalised water during the night dosings (eg

adding trisalts with a little stevia to sweeten).
