I also find it too hard on my stomach. I find that slippery elm powder

very beneficial. I am hoping this does not affect the affects of the

chelation process? I buy bulk slippery elm powder and put it in

capsules. I take 3-4 of the large capsules with each dose of

50ALA/50DMSA... body1million

As TK suggests, taking with food is a good idea. For me this doesn't

prevent problems. Keeping my dose low prevents problems. Some

people might totally solve the problem by taking ALA with food.

Slippery elm is very helpful for symptoms. Not sure it is enough

to heal the stomach. Other things may be more helpful depending

on the exact nature of the problem.

How you heal the stomach depends on exactly what the problem is.

If you have very excess stomach acid production, then acid blockers

may help (but they do have side effects for many people). Some

people do seem to have this (they would tend to have symptoms of

reflux, heartburn, burning or warm sensation in the stomach, etc).

This is not my problem. I was diagnosed by endoscopy in the past

and had gastritis (inflammation) and some type of bacterial

overgrowth (but they could not culture anything). I do not

believe I had excess acid (I do not get heartburn, acid reflux,

burning sensation, and I have poor absorption and dysbiosis -

these seem to indicate low stomach acid).

I healed my stomach that time (couple years ago) with slippery elm,

DGL, and zinc carnosine. I did not get scoped this time, but the

symptoms are exactly the same (nausea after eating) so I treated the

same. Already feeling much better.

No matter whether you have too much acid or too little, the

inflammation problem is the same. DGL and slippery elm both

help with this. Zinc carnosine helps healing (including ulcers).

You should eliminate things that exacerbate symptoms, at least

until you are feeling better.

I also find herbal teas of ginger and peppermint helpful. Ginger

is not good if you have excess acid (can increase problems).

Peppermint is good in either case. I make my slippery elm into

a sort of " pudding " - 1 t. slippery elm powder in 1/2 cup water

with a bit of cinnamon, and let it thicken (for an hour or two).

How much slippery elm do you take with each dose? so in your opinion

it doesn't effect absorption

Hi YoungJaem.. Right now I am totaly in limbo as to my true stomach

acid state.,.. I just went out and bought and tried my first meal

with betaine-HCL as people here have been mentioning. I was taking

Betaine HCL for a few years with the first doctor I saw for my

environmental illness. THen I went to someone else and he said NO you

should not be taking it-- I stopped and I did feel better..I find

taking calcium with meals helps//... I do feel better right now so it

is still an experimentbut I may actually have low stomach acid......

For sure with ALA I find the slippery elm helps my stomach . I take 4

big sized capsules of slippery elm powder... I buy it in bulk and put

it in capsules. You can buy a little gizmo that allows you to fill 24

capsules at once--I bought it through Harvestfields Herbs in

Woodstock ,Ontario ,Canada-- I will look for the website...I do not

know at all about if slippery elm blocks some of the efficacy of the

chelation .I cannot remember if I was taking it when I had my big

healing with my fourth round --I kind of think so,shich would mean it

does not affect chelation........body1million ---
