Here is Miralax info, I would try to get off the Miralax as soon as

possible

Here is my page of constipation ideas

Yeast can be constipating, and DMSA can cause yeast. So that is

something to consider.

For my family, enzymes and magnesium help with constipation.

Good luck.

That is not enough. Do a lot more.

I realize it is a major investment of one's life to chelate enough, but

the longer I am in this field the more I see the major issue being one

of getting people to stick with chelation to the bitter end. It goes

slower as you continue, but it is well worth it. Do at least another

year or two. Preferably two.

Ignore what comes out. That isn't relevant.

This is actually the most relevant thing and most worth discussing in

deciding whether to chelate more. Given what you are saying about how

he is though I'd definitely suggest trying it.

Ever have hair element tests, RBC elements, etc?

See if you can find a more natural substitute for miralax.

I now prefer 3 hour or more frequent admnistraiton of ALA when

possible, which generally means 3 hours in the day and 4 during the

sleep period.

Most likely you'll still have some issues come up, but you can solve

them especially since you should expect them. E. g. give magnesium and

vitamin C with every chelation dose.

If you have a cooperative doc you might also try DMPS, it is easier on

this kind of gut stuff.

How many minimum chelation cycles per year, to see some progress?

How much magnesium and Vit C with every chelation dose. I right now

give 190mg Mag and 250 mg Vit C per day

I don't know. Try for every 2-3 weeks if you can. Every week is

theoretically optimal but most people can't do it.

Give 100 mg Mg and 250 mg C with each chelation dose.
