Guest guest Posted March 7, 2001 Report Share Posted March 7, 2001 I also have a question about zinc. I have read that it's best absorbed on an empty stomach, but an adult (I think it was Moira?) noted zinc on an empty stomach was painful to take. When we gave it at bedtime, he couldn't settle down for sleep. Now when we give it at daytime, it's like he's been propelled from a sling shot, just a wild man for about 20 minutes. Splitting the dose up through the day hasn't helped, just makes him wild more times. Any thoughts? Also, about 30 minutes after ALA he gets a little flushed, and it lasts for about an hour. Is this okay? His face is " bumpy " throughout the 3 day cycle on, but no rash anywhere else. He is on Nystatin, and grapefruit extract for yeast. Is this rash from yeast, metals, or what? He is (5 years old), pretty limited verbally, but definitely better on chelation days, noticeable just 3 weeks into this, using ALA, only. The day after chelation, he gets a medicine cup from the drawer, brings it to me, and asks " medicine, please Momma " ...I have to wonder if he feels better on it, and can actually make a connection, or if this is just wishful thinking on my part. Anyways, thanks for this list, it's been an endless source of help. Kate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
