Re: throat burning, any ideas?

[Guest guest]

Is she drinking enough? If she is drinking at least 1/2 glass of water, I

wonder why the capsule is getting stuck?

Sorry not to be of more help. Is the burning sensation in her throat? I

have heard others report heartburn with Ala.

Hi ,

My kids have complained of a burning throat and sore chest (heartburn) when on

round

with ALA. They are taking 25 mg tablets, slipped into a gel cap. We're on

round 24. The

burning hasn't happened every time, but occasionally.

I've had heartburn on round too. Again, not always, and to varying degrees.

I try to drink a good gulp of water when I'm taking my dose and encourage the

kids to do

so too. It's harder in the middle of the night because we all just want to get

back to sleep,

so we are taking a tiny sip and then laying back down.

gave us the great idea to sip a tea or gruel (depending on how thick

you like it)

of hot water and slippery elm powder (it's good with a little cinnamon and

honey). It heals

and soothes irritated mucousal lining in the esophagus. I've found this helps

immensely.

Dh drinks it almost daily and he says it has helped his heartburn (he is not

chelating).

Perhaps your dd can cut back on any other foods which might be contributing to

the

heartburn. Hopefully, she won't experience this every round! Is it going well

otherwises?

TK--- Teach her how to swallow correctly and provide enough fluid to

wash it down the esopagus. There are specific techniques for people

who have trouble swallowing to learn how. Once they do like me I

can swallow a whole hand full of vitamins at a time and not have any

problems getting them down.

One technique is to make sure she drinks first then puts the

capsule in her mouth, fill her mouth with enough fluid to swish the

capsule/s around and make sure it/they get wet and don't stick to

the tongue or palet then swallow with more water.

You might question her a little to determine whether she is

getting the capsule caught (which shouldn't happen if she

drinks a glass of water with it), or whether it is giving

her reflux symptoms (which might give her a strange feeling

in her throat, like something's caught, or some burning,

irritation, soreness, or coughing).

If she is actually having acid symptoms, the ascorbic acid

would exacerbate things and you might want to try another

filler. I can't take ascorbic acid on an empty stomach.

Thanks , TK and ,

I have some good ideas now.

It's not easy to chelate a teen ager. It's like trying to hit a

moving target, moving and distracted by other teen agers. I wouldn't

have been able to do this before when I was less well. It's touch and

go now.

I've stopped my round, because I forgot my dose ( remembered her's

that was at the same time).

Lots of luck to us all

I'm going to have to try to figure out if she is having heartburn or

if it's burning from the ascorbic acid/ALA.

The round is going well, I think. Haven't seem her in a while. The

last time we spoke she said there where no symptoms (she increased

from 5 mg last time to 10 mg this time).

She's taking supplements more regularily. I included a CLO gelcap in

every dose.

Should be a memorable summer.
