Robin,

It sounds like the chest pain you are talking about could be caused by

an " acid stomach " . I think Andy mentioned that he used to get this

sometimes when chelating. At night it can be quite nasty if it creeps

up into the esophagus (and easily interpreted as " heart pain " /angina,

or general " chest pain " ).

I too have some issues with chest pain. I prefer to use the term

" chest tightness " since that's more what it feels like to me. I've

found that eating a banana can give some relief...

- This is one possible reason for stomach pain, for which Andy

has suggested taking some protein with each dose, since acid is used by

the body to digest protein. I just thought I'd mention that there can

be other reasons, which mimic reflux. In my case, the problem turned

out to be gas developing in the digestive system. If I do not

regularly go out to take walks after meals, then gas starts to build up

and it becomes very painful. This started some 2 years into my

chelation process, and has continued up to the present (2 3/4 years).

My acupuncturist also suggests that I be careful to eat soft, well

cooked, easily digestible food.

Dave.

I've read several reports over the years of nasty acid reflux from ALA.

I've felt it myself

during a night dose. So has one of my kids.

That is one possibility to consider, re: chest pain.

Hi - I have always had stomach problems, though most of the pain came

from the lower bowel. DMSA really made things worse, and I had to

revert to ALA alone. My doctor gave me Lansoprazole for a painful

digestive system and that worked really well. I haven't tried DMSA

for some time.

Yours,
