Chris, we have gone through 4 cycles now (3 on, 11 off).
1)GI-yes....GOD yes.....We haven't seen a loose stool in a long time.
BUT, we are also using bethanechol and that had definitely been helping a lot on
the GI department.
We see the improvements in many of the "soft areas" like eye contact,
spontaneous speech, and peer interaction. It is extremely difficult to say if
the chelation is responsible, the bethanechol or perhaps a synergistic effect.
I did take him of the bethanechol for one
month straight and noted a definite decline. I have no plans to take him off
either in the near future. We are planning to add LA on the next cycle; he has
been DMSA only thus far.
