Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 It is hard to tell if it is yeast. Maybe part of it, but I do not think the vomiting and low appetite come from there... Maybe he has reflux? Does he complain about pain in his stomach and up? My son developped reflux a few months ago (never had one before) and it took me a little while to figure it out. He also occasionally vomitted during or right after meals. Could he be constipated? When my son is constipated he has a low appetite, and his BM do not look at all like somebody constipated! First rounds with ALA are difficult. Maybe you could up his supplements and see if he feels better. How much DMSA and ALA did you give him?

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 When my daughter started to feel nauseous after chelation, lost her appetite and vomitted occasionally, it coinsided with some raised liver values and lowered neutrophils. I don't think she is coping well with DMSA (although it seemed as if she had no problems with it for the first 6 months). I am at present wondering, whether giving her molybdenum might help. I might try this during the X-mas holidays. Dagmar. [ ] Help ! is this yeast ???? We have just completed second round of DMSA + ALA with my son (4 yrs). Over the past 3-4 days his small and picky appetite has reduced to almost nothing - a small amount of food at lunchtime only, and today not even that. He has vomited a couple of times when eating or soon after, sometimes accompanied by a lot of vigorous coughing beforehand. His breath also smells bad. I cannot say much about BMs as I have not seen one for a few days because he is not eating. He does not appear to have excessive intestinal gas. He is also demonstrating a lot more behaviours than usual and some new ones not seen before. Does this sound like yeast ? I am confused because he does have a weak immune system and every year gets coughs which result in him not eating, being sick from coughing, and generally being groggy and irritable from exhaustion and lack of energy. I can almost explain all the symptoms by reference to things he has had before, but am womdering if collectively these could add up to YEAST ! All ideas welcome please !

Guest guest Posted October 5, 2004 Report Share Posted October 5, 2004 , Thanks for your ideas. > Maybe he has reflux? Does he complain about pain in his stomach and > up? My son developped reflux a few months ago (never had one before) and it took me a little while to figure it out. He also occasionally vomitted during or right after meals. He has not had reflux before, as far as I know, but he does cough hard util he vomits sometimes, especialy when he has a cough infection. > Could he be constipated? I don't think so at the moment, though he does sometimes suffer. > First rounds with ALA are difficult. Maybe you could up his > supplements and see if he feels better. How much DMSA and ALA did you give ? I gave 11mg ALA and 12.5mg DMSA, 3 hourly in day and 4 hourly at night, using Vit C + milk thistle with each dose, and Brainchild supplements 3x daily. First four rounds DMSA only went no problems. First round DMSA+ALA was OK, and on second round he seems to be suffering from someting. But as he has a cough infection now I am finding it hard to figure out the causes and what I should do. This morning I started GSE to see if it helps in 2-3 days.
