DMSA and gut problems

[Guest guest]

Hi,

I had no problem with my first three rounds of DMSA, 25 mg every 4

hours. It actually made me feel better. This fourth time, however, I got

very bad gut problems and food intolerances. I even woke up at night

with tachycardia and bad chills. I was soaking wet when I woke up. I had

onions, can sulfur foods cause this? I am wondering if I should switch

to ALA instead? Why would I feel so good at first, but have problems

now?

Thanks,

Bernadette

IS THERE A LIST OF SULFURY FOODS SOMEWHERE?

Onions are very sulfury, they may be relevant.

You don't really include enough info to have a guess what happened.

ALA makes sulfur problems worse.

Try doing another DMSA only cycle eating a low sulfur diet, or the diet

you ate for cycles 1, 2. or 3 and see how it goes.

I have this list from someone who posted here a while ago.

Yes. There might be others, but from my list: eggs, dairy products,

bakery products containing whey, cabbage, bok choy, cauliflower,

broccoli, broccoflower, brussel sprouts, kale, turnips, rutabagas,

asparagus, onions, shallots, leeks, garlic, coffee.
