Karla Low Oxalate Diet: Re: DMSA vs. DMPS

[Guest guest]

He's not on the small side, but is thin. He has gained some weight. Before the

diet, he wasnt metabolizing carbs or fats well. He metabolizes carbs well now,

but fatty acid metabolism is still a concern. We've been giving lots of Biotin

as well as B5 to see if this will help. Oxalates impair fatty acid metabolism

and alot of processes involving fatty acids metabolism are biotin and B5

dependant.

doctor to write me a script for it. Can someone plese tell me why DMPS would be

a better choice then DMSA? Also, I was told my son has such severe malabsorption

issues that it might not be a good time to start chelation. I just got his DDI

test back this week and he his high in a number of metals. So I am weighing

malabsorption vs. chelating. Please let me know if you can share any insight

with me. Kathy
